Unicef millennium development goals report highlights threat of government austerity measures, food crisis and climate change The United Nations warned today that the patchy global struggle to lift children out of poverty was being threatened by budget cuts in the west, soaring food prices and climate change.

Mozambique's food riots – the true face of global warming | Raj Patel 5.9.2010 Guardian: Environment
The violence in Maputo is just the latest manifestation of the crippling shortcomings of the global economy It has been a summer of record temperatures – Japan had its hottest summer on record , as did South Florida and New York . Meanwhile, Pakistan and Niger are flooded and the eastern US is mopping up after hurricane Earl. None of these individual events can definitively be attributed to global warming.

Look, instead, to the deaths and burning tyres in Mozambique's "food riots" to see what happens when extreme natural phenomena interact with our unjust economic systems. The immediate causes of the protests in Mozambique's capital, Maputo, ...

Perky pig: Organic pork recipes 4.9.2010 The Guardian -- Front Page
The differences between organic and conventionally farmed pork are about a whole lot more than just taste If there's one thing I find almost as tiresome as climate change deniers, it's organic bashers. "It's cruel, it is. They're not allowed to treat animals even when they're sick, except with herbs and that. And the animals are forced to stay outside, even when it's snowing. My mate's friend lives near an organic pig farm, and he says it's a scandal the way they treat their animals – they're wandering about outside, covered in mud and everything…" It's all bollocks, of course. And in case you're ever on the receiving end of this kind of ignorant rant, allow me to clarify. Almost all the same veterinary interventions are available to ...
