Rafael Correa propone en COP21 crear corte internacional de justicia ambiental. El presidente ecuatoriano, Rafael Correa, propuso este lunes ante la conferencia del clima de París (COP21) crear una "corte internacional de justicia ambiental", para sancionar los "atentados" contra la naturaleza. Esa corte debería "sancionar atentados contra los derechos de la naturaleza", pues "nada justifica que tengamos tribunales para proteger inversiones (...), pero no para proteger a la naturaleza", afirmó el mandatario en su discurso en la sesión inaugural de la conferencia, en la que participan 150 jefes de Estado y de gobierno.

Correa denunció "la perversa lógica de privatizar beneficios y de socializar las pérdidas". Según el jefe jefe de Estado ecuatoriano, la noción de "crecimiento ilimitado" está reñida con la de protección ambiental. "¡El planeta ya no aguanta más! ", clamó Correa, al llamar a sus pares a actuar con celeridad.

In a bizarre televised appearance the NSA whistleblower now resident in Russia asked Putin if he spied on his own citizens the way the Americans do on theirs. Putin, predictably, said no. This story has been updated to reflect comments from his American lawyer.

Vladimir Putin just trolled President Barack Obama and the entire U.S. intelligence community. He trolled them hard. Not to worry, Putin tells America’s most famous intelligence leaker: “We don’t have a mass system for such interception and according to our law it cannot exist.” That statement may be true in a parallel universe where Crimean citizens all on their own with no orchestration from Russia spontaneously voted to join the Russian federation after random mercenaries with no ties to Moscow seized its airports and government buildings.

“I think it was ridiculous,” says Mark Galeotti, an expert on Russia’s security services who is also a professor at New York University. Putin’s snooping is not limited to his own citizens. OCCUPY LOVE Preview : The Climate Crisis. Do the Math - Because We > Fossil Fuels.
