Like gun violence, chronic poverty and unequal health care coverage, the problem of unchecked greenhouse gas pollution won’t solve itself. As important as local and state efforts to reduce the emissions imperiling our planet are, a … [Read more...]

Globe blows it on gas

January 11, 2018 By Charley on the MTA 3 Comments

Apparently we used more oil and coal in the cold snap. That's bad. The Globe's unsigned editorial has identified exactly the wrong culprit, and the wrong solution: Two culprits stand out. First, efforts by some environmental activists … [Read more...]

Like many, I'm very cool to the idea of bringing Amazon to Boston. It solves none of the problems and needs we have, and indeed would exacerbate many of them. We don't need 50,000 new high tech jobs with six-figure salaries. We don't have … [Read more...]

Will Globe Keep Ignoring Columnist’s Blatant Conflicts of Interest?

August 18, 2015 By thegreenmiles 16 Comments

Globe Launches Monthly “Cranky Old Columnists Lecture Climate Activists” Series

June 16, 2015 By thegreenmiles 16 Comments

Alex Beam's latest column is titled "Divestment is an empty gesture," which is apt since Beam's entire effort is empty - Tom Keane wrote essentially the same column in the same space six weeks ago. What is it about the fossil fuel … [Read more...]

Dozen's of senior cabinet members resigned yesterday. PM Boris Johnson lost the confidence of his own team.

The threat of DOJ doing the same thing made Trump re-think his plan to overturn the election #mapoli #nhpolitics

We have more daily Covid deaths this year than this time last year. People’s denialism is literally murdering people. It’s time to have courage & restore robust public health #Covid_19 #CovidIsNotOver #mapoli

Dan Goldberg @DanCGoldberg

A note on Covid: July 6, 2021, when vaccines were less prevalent, the US was averaging about 14,000 new infection per day. One year later, we’re at 114,000. One year ago, we were averaging 260 covid deaths per day; now we are closing in on 400 per day!
