Climate Dark Age

Submitted by radioecoshock on Wed, 19/03/2014 - 2:56am

The bad news is planet Earth is already committed to very dangerous climate change. Dr. Michael Jennings published a paper in 2012 showing we are already in the worst case scenario. We'll talk with Dr. Jennings, from the University of Idaho.

We may be saved from utter disaster if an economic collapse comes sooner rather than later. Dr. Sing C. Chew will give us the good news about Dark Ages, and the signs we are entering one now.

There's a hidden secular history of Australia - of the religious influence of politics, of conflicts over whether libraries can open on Sundays, of women's equality and reproductive freedoms, of "State Aid" for Non-Government Schools and the "Defence of Government Schools" and the Democratic Labour Party. This one-day review looks at this history, along with the details of Humanism. Humanism has a substantial philosophy and history in human thought. We also look at global religious injustice, evolution and creationism, and elements of the Judaeo-Christian tradition.

World should thank Iran for high executions, says Tehran official

Submitted by ACADP on Mon, 10/03/2014 - 10:51am

The circus of public executions in Iran continues at an alarming rate. Iran has stepped up executions and believes in doing so, it has earned the gratitude of mankind.

The Islamic republic's execution rate, which has soared to ghastly heights since self-described moderate Hassan Rouhani became president last year, should be viewed as a “positive marker of Iranian achievement,” according to the head of Iran’s Judiciary Human Rights Council.

FUKUSHIMA - 3 YEARS LATER AND AMERICA LEARNED NOTHING

On the third anniversary of the worst nuclear disaster in the world, I talk with the authors of "Fukushima, The Story of a Nuclear Disaster".

As you'll hear, America is just waiting for it's own nuclear mega-disaster. Despite promises after March 2011, the U.S. industry is still stalling on safety-critical fixes to aging reactors. It's just a matter of time.

I interview a 17 year veteran of the American nuclear industry, expert David Lochbaum from the Union of Concerned Scientists.

Submitted by ACADP on Sat, 08/03/2014 - 1:37pm

In the United States of America 143 death row prisoners have been released in the last four decades alone, after evidence emerged during their appeals process of the wrongful conviction.
