Patriotism that loves our country, our land, and our planet
Jeremy Bloom is the Editor of RedGreenAndBlue.
Yesterday, I wrote Yes, global warming IS giving us bigger, more devastating tornadoes, in response to the horrific devastation in Moore, Oklahoma. And the usual jerks came out, accusing me of everything from being a retard to being a despicable liberal using the bodies of dead children to push my climate change agenda. It would have been [...]
As an insanely huge tornado smashes a path through the former oilfields of Oklahoma, it might be a nice time to remember – yes, climate change and global warming are giving us bigger, badder, and more costly storms. Remember that the next time somebody tells you that dealing with climate change will be too expensive. [...]
In a huge disappointment to organic food and non-GMO activists, the Supreme Court gave Monsanto a huge victory this morning. There had been some hope that they would re-evaluate the crazy notion that companies can patent life-forms. It is, after all, an idea that would have been laughed at by the founding fathers of this [...]
By Senator Bernie Sanders Earlier this year, it was announced that the Tribune Company was exploring the possible sale of some of its major newspapers including The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Tribune, and Hoy, amongst others. More recently, it has been rumored that one of the strongest potential buyers is Koch Industries, owned by [...]
I don’t know about you, but given the choice, I prefer my meat WITHOUT fecal bacteria. Unfortunately, a new Consumer Reports study implies that we DON’T have a choice. When it comes to ground turkey, pretty much your only choice is “with”. Consumer reports tested 257 samples. That covered 21 states and included both by-the-pound [...]
Do Americans have the right to know what’s in our food? Do we have the right to choose to NOT eat Genetically Modified (GMO) food? The next round in the years-long battle has begun, as Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and Congressman Pete DeFazio (D-OR) introduce the Genetically Engineered Food Right-to-Know Act (read the Senate bill here, House bill here). [...]
It’s been pretty definitively proven that particular pesticides are decimating the world’s bees – threatening farmers and our food supply as well as wildflowers and wildlife. Definitively enough that the European Union has just moved to ban them. So the question remains – when will the US act? Neonicotinoid pesticides are a new class of [...]
You blew it – go back and do it right. That’s what the EPA told the State Department. State was supposed to have put together a serious environmental impact statement for the Keystone XL pipeline; instead it slapped together a botched job that painted a rosy low-impact scenario… that failed to take into account the [...]
Remember how, three years ago, we reported that BP was using a nasty, toxic, chemical cocktail to disperse the oil that was gushing out of it’s blown Maconda Deepwater Horizon well? Remember how BP insisted the chemicals were perfectly safe? Well, it should come as no surprise that BP was lying. Newsweek (yes, it still [...]
Bill McKibben has the following message to everyone who is looking for something to do for the planet on this Earth Day 2013: It’s as if the president was setting it up for us. This morning, in his Earth Day proclamation, he said: “Nothing is more powerful than millions of voices calling for change.” This afternoon, [...]
