Larry Lohmann’s speech on Carbon Trading and Global Warming 2008-06-25 06:19:00 Carbon trade; a game of jokers or like using band-aid to cure a disease like cancer.Carbon trading “dispossesses ordinary people in the South of their lands and futures without resulting in appreciable progress toward alternative energy systems,” says Lohmann. “Tradable rights to pollute are handed out to Northern industry, allowing them to continue to profit from business as usual. At the same time, Northern polluters are encouraged to invest in supposedly carbon-saving projects in the South, very few of which promote clean energy at all.” Most of the carbon credits being sold to industrialized countries, Lohmann explains, come from polluting projects that do nothing to reduce fossil fuel use, such as schemes that burn methane from coal mines or waste dumps. The bulk of fossil fuels must be left in the ground if climate chaos is to be avoided, the book Carbon Trading warns. Larry Lohmann is the editor of Carbon Trading: A Critical Conversation on Climate Change, Privatisation ...

a S.O.S message from my friend 2008-06-20 07:35:00 Hi xxxxxToday is the 7th day; we are cutoff from the rest of the world. No water, no road communication, even no regular supply of current. Roads, four quarter wash away by flood. We are surviving on the relief supplied the District Administration, Lower Subansiri, Zero, Arunachal Pradesh. NEEPCO is producing electricity not flood water. It is very unfortunate that this type of a picture is giving by our print and electronic media to the people. Last Friday day around 12am at night the water level started rising. Within 2 and half hours (i.e up to 2:30 am .at night), 7.50 miters of water rose. At that time we could not inform any body and there is no system to predict flood before hand. So we bound to release water gradually, otherwise it would had break the DAM. Because of the Dam we could divert 160 Cubic Metre of water to Dicrong River. Up to 567 Metre of water we kept in our reservoir. The flood water is not only from Ranganadi River but from many tributary falls in Ranganadi. So t ...

Neo-Liberalism and Social Justice 2008-06-16 06:43:00 An analysis on impact of Neo-Liberalism in INDIA by Suneet Chopra[This is the text of a talk delivered at the Desh Bhakt Yadgar Hall at Jalandhar in Punjab on 14th June, 2008.]Neo-liberalism and the Republic of HungerIndia has now gone through some seventeen years of a neo-liberal prescription. Its results are there for us to see. If India has produced some 39 new dollar billionaires on the one hand, it has seen the increase of those unable to meet the 2200 calorie intake from 56.4% in 1973-74(the then poverty line for consumption) to 58.5% in 1993-94 and to 69.5% in 2004-05 of the rural population of the country. The All India figures for urban India in the same period were: 57% in 1993-94 to 64.5% in 2004-05. It is evident then that a handful became richer at the cost of impoverishing the rest. In fact in 2004-05, nearly 84 crore people lived on an expenditure of Rs.20 per person per day, of whom some 24 crore lived on less than Rs. 9 per person per day. How did the government show d ...

Interview With Adoor Gopalakrishnan 2008-06-13 03:02:00 Adoor Moutatthu Gopalakrishnan Unnithan is an internationally known Indian film director. His films are made in the Malayalam language. Most of his films have been widely acclaimed in India and Abroad and have won many national and international awards. He studied screenwriting and Film Direction from the Pune Film Institute. After completing the course, he along with a few of his classmates and friends, established Chithralekha Film Society and Chalachithra Sahakarana Sangham. The organization was the first film society in Kerala and it aimed at production, distribution and exhibition of films in the co- operative sector."The idea of an entertainment that entails leaving your common sense back at home does not appeal to me. You clap at what you see and feel happy with the mindless action in front of you because that’s what you have come to expect. It sells, I guess. So people are happy about it." --- Adoor Gopalakrishnan on bolliwood filmsREAD ANOTHER RECENT INTERVIEW WITH Ado ...

National Culture Policy and hidden danger within it 2008-06-12 04:29:00 “Let me make it clear at the very outset that the exercise of drafting a National Culture Policy does not presuppose the existence of or the identification of a ‘national culture’. That would be absurd and meaningless and therefore out of question. The first point then is that what exactly are we trying to do by drafting a National Culture Policy.”------Shyam Benegal, a film director, is on the drafting committee of the National Culture Policy So it’s another trap which will be another kind of control plan of bourgeoisie nationalist over multicultural, purely diverse society. Very absurd idea that somebody is used to be as national culture. As already accepted and shown by what is a national culture which is always reflected by Bolliwood-filmi song-dance, nothing beyond this. Already mostly middle class society feel the heat of it and its taken to all part of life, including traditional festivity. Nowadays mostly traditional festival or traditional marriage ceremonies etc ar ...

leave the kid alone 2008-06-10 01:34:00 “The channels discussed these with so called experts and dissected the noble soul (Aarushi) sadistically and with perverted minds. They are equally if not more guilty of violating the law and should face the same consequences as the investigating agencies,” --Nupur Talwar, mother of arushi talwarAn emotional appeal by Nupur Talwar, mother of murder victim Aarushi Talwar, the National Commission of Protection of Child Rights on Monday directed the Information and Broadcasting ministry to stop Balaji Telefilms from including the Aarushi murder case in its popular teleserial Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki. Balaji Telefilms had decided take inspiration from the sensational twin murders and show that the protagonist Parvati’s granddaughter is killed in circumstances similar to Aarushi’s murder. “The serial is drawing inspiration from real life and parallels can be drawn to the case without naming Aarushi Talwar,” ...

Yes, it’s not about a common man with his faith or his Secularism.It’s about Scientists (!!) and who are they……..The Institute for the Study of Secularism in Society and Culture of Trinity College, Connecticut conducted a survey of the world views and opinions of Indian scientists last year. 1130 scientists, all of them holding doctorate degrees, from 130 universities and research institutes were surveyed.

the soup of life in a galaxy 2008-05-30 03:27:00 Arecibo telescope finds critical ingredients for the soup of life in a galaxy far, far away.Astronomers from Arecibo Observatory radio telescope in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, have detected for the first time the molecules methanimine and hydrogen cyanide -- two ingredients that build life-forming amino acids -- in a galaxy some 250 million light years away.When combined with water, the molecules form glycene, the simplest amino acid and a building block of life on Earth.The Arecibo astronomers focused on the distant galaxy Arp 220, an ultra-luminous starburst galaxy, because it forms new stars at a very high rate. They used the 305-meter, or 1,000-foot diameter, Arecibo radio telescope, the world's largest and most sensitive, to observe the galaxy at different frequencies. The observations, made in April 2007, were the first use of the 800 megahertz wide-band mode of the telescope's main spectrometer.It’s just simple to think that we are not alone in this vast universe. Of course there ...
