We are awash in stories of fossil-fueled energy security crises. At center of it all is the hydra-headed LNG market

How did "molecules of freedom” come to rule our world?

By the way, do you gentlebeings know how we almost destroyed the ozone layer by accident?

How we have the early environmental protesters, a well-funded and competent U.S. federal scientific apparatus, and the 1973 energy crisis to thank that we even learned of the problem before it was too late?
The long-term unintended effects of novel synthetic compounds are quite high in my list of potentially serious risks to the well-being and viability of human civilisation.

It is extremely difficult to reliably assess even single chemicals, and almost impossible to predict their interactions.

They could join other countries, such as Denmark, on taking the lead towards a PFAS free economy. Now it’s time for the EU to act! More in our latest blog: chemtrust.org/french_pfas_...

Mikä tosiaan on Hesarin journalistinen ja periaatteellinen linja Yhdysvaltojen sisäpoliittiseen kehitykseen? Kävin selailemassa juttuvirtaa ja pääkirjoituksia, ja oma tulkintani on nyt: vaikeneminen. Jos joku muu pystyy tulkitsemaan toisin, niin haluaisin kuulla perusteet.

Mutta miksi vaikeneminen?
HS näyttäisi olevan ihan viimeisenä havahtumassa tuohon seurantaan.
