The vast majority—more than 67 percent of crop calories grown in the U.S.—are used to feed animals raised for human consumption. Rather than feeding people, these crops feed the billions of chickens, cows, pigs, and other animals who live and die on factory farms. And that’s a problem.
A discussion on why 2023 was so exceptionally warm and what that might entail for our estimates of where 2024 will end up.
The reason for the climate crisis is the ever-increasing profits being generated by the global capitalist class from the exploitation of the world’s human and natural resources. The captains of industry and the politicians who serve them are therefore determined to preserve the status quo as long as possible.
‘Coal Block Allocation: Govt Ignored State Entities in Favour of Pvt Firms With “Questionable” Backgrounds, Alleges EAS Sarma’. Also: ‘Adani’s Alleged Irregularities on Import of Coal Again Under the Scanner’.
The IAEA is hiding dangers of releasing Fukushima’s radioactive wastewater into the Pacific Ocean? Also: ‘Fukushima: Japan’s Triple Threat in Spades’: Japan too indulging in media manipulation and information control to hide the dangers of the radioactive water release.

Charles Derber, author of ‘Dying for Capitalism: How Big Money Fuels Extinction and What We Can Do About It’, discusses how the myth of American exceptionalism undermines the solutions to the existential threats we face today, why “green capitalism” is an oxymoron, and the need to confront a “triangle of extinction.”

Recent research shows that the environmental costs of the Green Revolution are as severe as its economic impacts. In Punjab, India’s top Green Revolution state, heavy use of fertilizers and pesticides has contaminated water, soil and food and endangered human health.
Janata Weekly is India’s oldest independent socialist weekly.
Ever since its founding in 1946, Janata has voiced its principled dissent against all conduct and practice that is detrimental to the cherished values of nationalism, democracy, secularism and socialism, while upholding the integrity and the ethical norms of healthy journalism. For more than seventy years now, week after week, it has continued to analyse the changes taking place in the country and the world from a socialist standpoint, and thus promote the spread of socialist ideology in the country.
Address: D-15, Ganesh Prasad, Naushir Bharucha Marg, Mumbai- 400007.
