New World Notes - The Three Global Crises: How Should We Respond? (Part 2 of 2)

12/13/2016 12:00 pm
12/14/2016 9:00 pm
 

This week on New World Notes: Program #458, December 13, 2016, Tuesday from 12:00 to 12:30 p.m. (and on Wednesday from 8:30 to 9:00 p.m.), host Kenneth Dowst presents the concluding part of an eye-opening and well-researched talk by activist Vincent Emanuele.

Emanuele explores the three crises that are making the world--at best--highly unstable. Then he suggests some steps that the people can take to make our uncertain future as livable as possible.

Since neither government nor business is likely to do anything positive about these crises, useful responses will have to come from the grassroots.

All three crises are deeply rooted in the United States. Two of them are now global. The crises are (1) social collapse in the U.S., (2) militarization, and (3) ecological disaster.

In Part 1, Emanuele showed the dimensions of social collapse and militarization and begins his discussion of the ecology crisis.

In Part 2, he explores the ecology crisis in depth and then proposes some general actions that the organized grassroots can take to maintain (insofar as possible) a good, decent, and cooperative life for the people.
