Palestinians: The Arrests and Torture No One Talks About

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said on August 27 that he is concerned about the condition of Palestinians who are being held in Israeli prisons. He described the prisoners, many of whom have been convicted of carrying out or involvement in attacks against Israel and Israeli citizens, as “freedom fighters” and announced that the Palestinian leadership and the Palestinian people will continue to support them “until they gain their freedom.”

On the same day that Abbas made his remarks, a committee representing the families of Palestinian prisoners held in Palestinian Authority (PA) prisons called for holding a protest in the West Bank city of Ramallah, the Palestinians’ de facto capital.

Melting of Greenland Ice Sheet will cause global sea levels to rise by more than 10 INCHES – even if the whole world stops burning fossil fuels, study warns

The melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet will cause global sea levels to rise by more than 10 inches (27cm) – even if the whole world stops burning fossil fuels, a new study has warned.

Researchers from the National Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) studied two decades worth of measurements to predict the minimum ice loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet from climate warming so far.

Clashes erupt after Iraqi Shiite cleric resigns, 10 dead

BAGHDAD (AP) — An influential Shiite cleric announced Monday that he would resign from Iraqi politics, prompting hundreds of his angry followers to storm the government palace and sparking clashes with security forces in which at least 10 protesters were killed.

Trump FBI raid turned up ‘limited’ documents subject to privilege: DOJ

The FBI raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate earlier this month uncovered “a limited set of materials” that are potentially subject to attorney-client privilege, federal prosecutors said in a Monday court filing.

The Justice Department’s new disclosure comes after Trump’s legal team had requested a special master — an independent third party — be appointed to review items seized during the Aug. 8 raid to ensure that any that might be protected by claims of legal privilege is set aside.

A Canadian Company, Secret Data, Tiny Islands and a Quest for Treasure on the Ocean Floor

Mining in parts of the Pacific Ocean was meant to benefit poor countries, but an international agency gave a Canadian company access to prized seabed sites with metals crucial to the green energy revolution.

KINGSTON, Jamaica — As demand grows globally for metals needed to make batteries for electric vehicles, one of the richest untapped sources of the raw materials lies two and a half miles beneath the surface of the Pacific Ocean.

This remote section of the seabed, about 1,500 miles southwest of San Diego, could soon become the world’s first industrial-scale mining site in international waters.

The Metals Company, based in Vancouver, has secured exclusive access to tons of seabed rocks packed with cobalt, copper and nickel — enough, it says, to power 280 million electric vehicles, equivalent to the entire fleet of cars in the United States.

Kelly McParland: Is there a ‘business case’ for defending Canada?

“… China is already the world’s biggest carbon emitter, well ahead of the U.S., India and the European Union. Its plan to build dozens of new coal plants is forecast to add 1.5 per cent to its total. Many Canadians, not all of them cranks, have wondered what practical purpose there is in twisting the country’s industry into an unproductive pretzel in search of a slightly lower carbon output when we’re responsible for just 1.5 per cent of the global output while China — with 400 times our population —pumps out 26 per cent and has increased its total by 75 per cent since 2005.”

D-day tribute or theme park? Battle rages over Normandy plan

A row has erupted in France over plans for a new D-day attraction near the landing beaches, which critics have likened to a Disney-style theme park.

The multimillion-euro project to retell the story of le débarquement of 6 June 1944 and the subsequent Battle of Normandy in a hi-tech 45-minute “immersive show” has sparked a furious war of words, with opponents describing it as disrespectful to those who died and their families.

We need rare earth elements for a greener future, but there’s a catch … of course

In the push to transition from fossil fuels to greener energy, a key piece of the puzzle is accessing materials to help accelerate the technological shift — namely, rare earth elements.

The group of 17 metallic elements has the potential to be a key economic driver for countries mining and processing them. They are crucial for building components for everything from wind turbines and electric-vehicle batteries to cell phones and other products.

But they also come with lingering questions over the short- and long-term environmental impacts associated with the mining process.

This will play out like oil & natural gas has. “Environmental concerns” will via economy killing legislation be able to initiate lengthy and expensive delays rendering virtually any new project dead from the word go.

Other nations will eat our lunch and dinner.

Justin and the CBC will be happy.
