For those who were there, November 13th will be a day long remembered in Portland, Oregon.

 By Abdul Basit

 How can we save the humanity and this earth from the greed and consumerism and ensure a balanced, sustainable and eco-friendly economic growth. This thought hounded me and resulted in the development of a new concept, 'Recycling Earth'


Obama Ignores Global Warming
 By Jack A. Smith

http://www.countercurrents.org/smith141111.htm

Given its disinclination to interfere in the workings of America's neoliberal capitalist economy, even to protect all life on Earth — Washington's continuing unipolar leadership is guiding the world toward irreversible climate change


Democracy Is Not A Panacea
 By Tim Murray

http://www.countercurrents.org/murray141111.htm

Egalitarianism does not suffice to save us. If there is enough to go around now, there soon won't be. We can and should "tax the rich", reform the currency, dump the banking system, ration oil and all those good things. But it won't be enough. Not by a long shot. We have already passed several tipping points, with climate change, as lethal and real as it is, in my view, the least consequential of all of them. Our ship has already hit the iceberg. It's called "Peak Everything"

Food Inflation: Groping In The Dark
 By Devinder Sharma

http://www.countercurrents.org/dsharma141111A.htm

Although Prime Minister Manmohan Singh considers rising food inflation to be a sign of growing prosperity, the reality is very harsh and painful. Rising food inflation, which continues for the 4th successive year now, has hit the aam aadmi like never before. Adding fuel to fire is the frequent raise in petrol prices
