VietNam war ]/
*Penn State Behrend holds teach-in on climate change*

Students and staff at a local college came together in hopes of sparking 
change.

A world-wide teach-in on climate change justice took place at Penn State 
Behrend on March 30.

The global event, which spanned over 50 countries, focused on broadening 
the discussion around climate change, and included ways that people 
could help reduce stress on the planet.

Organizers said that several disciplines across campus play a role in 
this issue and there’s something everyone can do.

“Climate change is occurring globally. It really requires global 
actions, global conversations, it needs all of us kind of thinking about 
this and being part of the change,” said Sherri Mason, Director of 
Sustainability for Penn State Behrend.

This is the inaugural year for the world-wide teach in at Behrend. 
Organizers are hoping to make this an annual event on campus.

*Teach-in*
 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A teach-in is similar to a general educational forum on any complicated 
issue, usually an issue involving current political affairs. The main 
difference between a teach-in and a seminar is the refusal to limit the 
discussion to a specific time frame or a strict academic scope. 
Teach-ins are meant to be practical, participatory, and oriented toward 
action. While they include experts lecturing on their area of expertise, 
discussion and questions from the audience are welcome, even 
mid-lecture. "Teach-ins" were popularized during the U.S. government's 
involvement in Vietnam. The first teach-in, which was held overnight at 
the University of Michigan in March 1965, began with a discussion of the 
Vietnam War draft and ended in the early morning with a speech by 
philosopher Arnold Kaufman...
- -
The Michigan teach-in received national press, including an article 
published in the March 25, 1965 issue of the New York Times. It went on 
to inspire 35 more teach-ins on college campuses within the next week. 
By the end of the year, there had been teach-ins at 120 campuses.  
Antiwar teach-ins were held until the end of the Vietnam War.

/[ Blame Trump ] /
*Two stark reminders about the political challenge of tackling climate 
change*
By Philip Bump
National correspondent
March 28, 2022
There was an unappreciated irony to the placard that graced the lectern 
from which former president Donald Trump spoke over the weekend. “Save 
America,” it said, reflecting Trump’s preferred descriptor for the 
threat the country faces should it fail to acquiesce to his whims. But 
it was from behind this apocalyptic imperative that Trump laughed off an 
actual threat the country faces.

Well, not “laughed off,” really.

Trump claimed we were at the “single most dangerous time for our country 
in history” thanks to the threat of nuclear weapons, somewhat 
downplaying decades in which the exact same threat lingered.

“And yet you have people like John Kerry worrying about the climate! The 
climate!” Trump continued. “Oh, I heard that the other day. Here we are, 
[Russian President Vladimir Putin is] threatening us [and] he’s worried 
about the ocean will rise one-hundredth of one percent over the next 300 
f----n’ years.”
The crowd, pleasantly surprised by the vulgarity, cheered loudly...

*Beyond 1.5 Series | Tipping points: Is there a point of no return?*
Oct 12, 2021
Woodwell Climate Research Center
Arctic permafrost and tropical forests are two of the most powerful 
natural drivers of our climate system, and both are approaching the 
point of tipping from carbon sinks to carbon sources–with potentially 
catastrophic consequences. At the same time, the ice sheets of Greenland 
and Antarctica are nearing points of no return, beyond which they may be 
committed to complete melting that would cause massive sea-level rise. 
Continuing to emit greenhouse gases without knowing where these tipping 
points lie is like driving toward a cliff in the fog. This gripping 
event will explore what we know–and need to know–to avoid going over the 
cliff.

*March 31, 2009*
  MSNBC's Keith Olbermann rips denialist Rep. John Shimkus (R-IL):

    "But our winner, Congressman John Shimkus, Republican of Illinois,
    with two fascinating and utterly contradictory statements.  A,
    Congressman Shimkus on why there isn‘t global warming.  'Today we
    have about 388 parts per million of Carbon Dioxide in the
    atmosphere.  I think in the age of the dinosaurs, when we had most
    flora and fauna, we were probably at 4,000 parts per million. 
    There‘s a theological debate that this is a carbon-starved planet,
    not too much carbon.'

    "Number one, Carbon and Carbon Dioxide are not the same thing.
    Number two, the only theological debate over how much carbon the
    plan needs would be taking place in the church of the Labrea Tar
    Pits.  Number three, didn‘t the freaking dinosaurs go extinct?  Or
    do they just have a bad public relations person?

    "But I‘m digressing.  B, Congressman Shimkus on why it doesn‘t
    matter anyway.  'The Earth will end only when God declares it‘s time
    to be over.  A man will not destroy this Earth.  This Earth will not
    be destroyed by a flood.  I appreciate having panelists here who are
    men of faith, and we can get into the theological discourse of that
    position.  But I do believe that God‘s word is infallible,
    unchanging, perfect.'

    "So a man pressing a button to start a nuclear war, that would be
    God‘s infallible word?  Why do we bother trying to govern?  Can‘t he
    do something about the budget deficit?  By the way, as you hit me
    over the head with your Bible, Congressman, there ain‘t a word in it
    about those dinosaurs you mentioned earlier.

    "Congressman John Shimkus of Illinois, today‘s worst person in the
    world!"
