4 Nov 2021 – The UK, hosting COP26 this year, has thrown up insurmountable entry barriers for many activists and observers.

An estimated 30,000 people have converged on Glasgow to attend the summit, and thousands of climate justice activists, mostly from Europe, are arriving to organize outside the summit compound, demanding action.

Energy Dilemma
Cédric Durand | New Left Review - TRANSCEND Media Service,
8 Nov 2021
5 Nov 2021 – The ecological bifurcation is not a gala dinner. After a summer of extreme climatic events and a new IPCC report confirming its most worrying forecasts, large parts of the world are now roiled by an energy crisis that prefigures further economic troubles down the road. This conjuncture has buried the dream of a harmonious transition to a post-carbon world, bringing the question of capitalism’s ecological crisis to the fore.

U.S. Cold War Interventionism, 1945-1990
Roger Peace | US Foreign Policy - TRANSCEND Media Service,
8 Nov 2021
The idea that the United States should lead the world, replacing the British Empire, had been advanced by various U.S. leaders and influential citizens since the late 19th century. This ambition was in keeping with age-old aspirations of great states and empires, and also with the trajectory of U.S. history. The U.S. expanded across North America in the 19th century, became an imperial power in Asia in 1899, declared Latin America an exclusive sphere of influence in the early 20th century, and became the foremost global economic power prior to the First World War.

Literary modernism, existentialism, and various schools of psychology, theology, and literary criticism have been profoundly shaped by his ideas. His works are often called prophetic because he so accurately predicted how Russia’s revolutionaries would behave if they came to power. In his time, he was also renowned for his activity as a journalist.

3 Nov 2021 – Il concetto di ‘zaino ecologico’ è stato proposto dagli studiosi del Wuppertal Institute alcuni decenni fa, per rendere facilmente comprensibile al pubblico l’idea che ciascuno di noi, nel fare uso di un oggetto, non ‘utilizza’ solo l’oggetto stesso, ma anche una quantità di energia e di materia che viene prelevata o riversata nell’ambiente esterno, e che resta in buona parte invisibile all’utilizzatore.
