Dahr Jamail, Global Temperatures Increases Could Double as the World Burns



We'll speak with Dahr Jamail on his latest writings on climate change, or anthropogenic climate disruption (ACD). He's written about the out of control rise in temperatures, and the many impacts, from super storms to failing crops to the threatened extinctions of key species. Dahr Jamail is a long-time investigative reporter, known for years of unembedded reporting from Iraq and the Middle East. He is a Truthout staff reporter, and writes the Climate Disruption Dispatches series.

It is a movement built on the absolute, total submission of women to domination by men and their god.
