  • MUST SEE FILM: White Water, Black Gold A+A-1 02-09-2013Share Specialty Studios Most Americans know little about the source of oil for the proposed Keystone Pipeline—the tar sands of Northern Alberta. The tar sands are not a traditional oil field. The oil is extracted and processed from the sands at a significant and devastating environmental and health cost to the land and people, and the process itself is a major contributor to climate change.

The E.P.A.'s Keystone Report Card - 1 views

  •  
    In the bland, formal language of interagency correspondence, the Environmental Protection Agency has written a trenchant review of the State Department's most recent effort to assess the consequences of building the Keystone XL pipeline. The E.P.A'.s letter, issued Monday, at the end of the public comment period on the department's latest draft environmental impact statement, is hardly a favorable report card.

  • For civil disobedience to be justified, something must be so wrong that it compels the strongest defensible protest. Such a protest, if rendered thoughtfully and peacefully, is in fact a profound act of patriotism…. For us, [the wrong] is the possibility that the United States might surrender any hope of stabilizing our planet’s climate.

A Convenient Excuse - News Features - 0 views

  • On October 2, I led a climate protest inside the offices of the Boston Globe.OK, it was really a meeting in a small conference room with editorial page editor Peter Canellos and members of his staff. But it was, in essence, a protest.I used to be a card-carrying member of the mainstream media; just a few years ago, I was the editor of the Globe's Ideas section. Peter is a former colleague.With me was Craig Altemose, founder and executive director of Better Future Project, a Cambridge-based non-profit dedicated to climate action, on whose working board I serve as a volunteer. We were joined by two members of BFP's advisory board: MIT's Kerry Emanuel, one of the country's leading climate scientists (and, until recently, a Republican); and Boston College's Juliet Schor, a sociologist and economist who is a respected thinker on climate and the economy. Last year, Altemose was arrested protesting the Keystone XL pipeline at the White House along with another advisory board member, Bill McKibben of 350.org, and 1251 other concerned citizens.
