America faces undeniable economic inequality. Bill's essay highlights extreme wealth and poverty, exemplified by California's Silicon Valley. There, tech giants like Facebook, Google, and Apple create millionaires, while the region's homeless population has surged 20% in two years, living in tent cities near these companies.

On November 16, 2008, the Sanctuary for Independent Media welcomed Austin-based folk musician Eliza Gilkyson and activist Rob Jensen. Their evening featured an intertwining of songs and speeches, offering both beautiful music and radical discussion.

In this clip (Part 2 of 4), Gilkyson introduces Jensen, sharing how his perspective has influenced her beliefs and songwriting. Jensen then begins his presentation on justice, sustainability, and his concept of the "Three E's": empire, economics, and ecology.

New computer model visualizations project significant changes in U.S. precipitation patterns under varying carbon dioxide emissions scenarios. By 2100, the southwestern U.S. could become considerably drier, while the northeastern U.S. may experience increased wetness.

These visualizations offer a powerful depiction of climate change impacts, illustrating the potential transformation of our nation's climate. As Allison Leidner, Ph.D., a NASA scientist, notes, they communicate these impacts in a way words cannot. For further details, explore the National Climate Assessment: globalchange.gov/what-we-do/assessment.

The continental U.S. could face an 8-degree Fahrenheit temperature increase by the end of the 21st century if carbon dioxide concentrations reach 800 parts per million. Current CO2 levels stand at

The continental U.S. could face an 8-degree Fahrenheit temperature increase by the end of the 21st century if carbon dioxide concentrations reach 800 parts per million. Current CO2 levels stand at 400 ppm and are rising faster than at any time in Earth's history.

These projections, from the draft National Climate Assessment, are vividly illustrated through computer model visualizations. Allison Leidner, a NASA scientist, emphasizes that these visualizations effectively communicate the dramatic potential changes to the nation's climate, including future temperature and precipitation scenarios.
