GOOD is on the Tumblrs. Follow GOOD, dammit.

I love this magazine! I want to have green babies who grow up to be water farmers with GOOD.

From Dot Earth: Federal researchers have published work concluding that a particular variant of the periodic El Niño warmups of the tropical Pacific Ocean is becoming more frequent and stronger. The pattern appears to fit what is expected from human-driven warming of the global climate What no one is talking about is the utter irresponsible way in which we approach our world — it’s resources, climate and balance.  Our asses are on a ticking time bomb that will explode in the next decade; the shrapnel will be failing infrastructure, water shortage and food shortage. Mix that in with overpopulation and let’s see how well we play nice with each other.   What do these recent stories have in common besides being glossed over by our Fourth Estate? The Arctic isn’t so arctic any more Amtrak breaks down Subway tickets are going up .. again There’s some sort of drought in Russia .. And some water problem in Pakistan Georgia has a water supply issue.. and so does Mexico Record highs this year etc. And yet we’re all talking about a fucking ‘mosque’.  Serves us right. And for all the guys who follow Beck and Plain and all the other nutsos.. don’t take me down with you.  I’m getting out while you wave your anti-fag placards with your Cheetos stained paws and debate Obama’s religion with your 17th century education.  New Zealand sounds pretty good.

The black marketeers stealing Indonesia’s islands by the boat-load

Sea reclamation projects in China, Thailand, Hong Kong and Singapore are driving a black market in Indonesia’s abundant supplies of soil, sand and gravel. In 2007 Indonesia banned the export of its sand and soil and threatened a shoot on sight policy against foreign sand pirates and gravel bandits. But, thanks to corrupt local officials who sign off on permits and turn a blind eye to where the material ends up, the smugglers are winning.
