With His Holiness The Dalai Lama, at His home in Dharamsala, India (Synthesis Dialogues - made into a movie narrated by Harrison Ford)
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
From Screwed:
"Once again, Thom Hartmann hits the bull’s eye with a much needed exposé of the so-called ‘free market.’ Anyone concerned about the future of our nation needs to read Screwed now."
The Arctic Ocean should be made a marine preserve so that our cold loving mammals will always have a stress-free home. MMS lied when they prepared the EIS for the Chukchi and Beufort Seas when they said the environmental impact to local and migrating marine life due to seismic exploration and drilling would be minimal. In fact, seismic testing could seriously deafen migrating whales and pinnepeds. And then there's the spectre of an oil spill which, in the Arctic, would be devastating particularly if it occured in winter and was trapped under the ice. The loss in fisheries, whales, pinnepeds, polar bears and walruses would be devastating. St George Sound still has not recovered from the Exxon-Valdez spill of almost 30 years ago and that occurred in waters a lot warmer that the Arctic.
Yes, ban offshore oil and gas exploration everywhere in the Arctic Ocean and declare it a marine preserve.
