Inter Press Service: Addressing antibiotic resistance will require a global political response similar to the way the world has reacted to climate change or HIV / AIDS, Sweden's Minister of Public Health Gabriel Wikstrom, told IPS recently. "(These problems) began with a small group of experts discussing and trying to warn the rest of us and it was not until it was politically addressed that it really became an issue that was solvable." "Of course (with antibiotic resistance) we have many technical issues still...

The vicious cycle that makes people afraid to talk about climate change

Washington Post: If you want to understand why it is that on a planet wracked by climate change, people still dont talk much about climate change, then this may be the key: Theyre people. Or, more specifically, theyre evolved social mammals who are acutely attuned to how they are perceived by the other evolved social mammals around them -- and reasonably so, because those perceptions greatly influence their own lives. Such is the upshot of new research on why people self-silence when it comes to climate...

Telegraph: The interview in last week's Sunday Telegraph with Hugh McNeal, the new head of RenewableUK, was remarkable in more ways than one. Certainly readers may have been surprised to know how easily he could switch from being a senior official at the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) to running our leading lobby group for wind farms. But even more significant was the way he unwittingly exposed what appears to me to be a massive deceit now at the heart of our national energy policy. We...

For Donald Trump, climate change is a 'hoax' except when it threatens his golf business

PRI: During his business career and, more recently, while running for president, Donald Trump has derided the science of climate change. He has even called it a hoax created by the Chinese. But that hasnt stopped him from invoking the dangers of climate change in a bid to protect one of his golf courses from the dangers of sea level rise. Trump's seaside golf course in County Clare, Ireland -- on the western coast, just south of Galway -- has suffered from serious erosion. The Trump Organization...
