How the military fights climate change | David Titley
Military leaders have known for millennia that the time to prepare for a challenge is before it hits you, says scientist and retired US Navy officer David Titley. He takes us from the humanitarian catastrophe in Syria to the icy shores of Svalbard to show how the military approaches the threat of climate change, in a refreshingly practical, nonpartisan take on climate preparedness. "The ice doesn't care who's in the White House. It doesn't care which party controls your congress. It doesn't care which party controls your parliament," Titley says. "It just melts."

Ten national trade unions and many other workers' organisations from across India took part to campaign for a 12-point workers' rights charter. TeleSUR English said on November 9 that the workers demanded wage rises; price controls; an end to the labour-contracting system; an end to privatisation infiltration of foreign capital; and welfare cuts.
