Editorial: Climate threat to Tampa Bay area

Hillsborough County Commission chair Stacy White says he's comfortable addressing the threat from rising sea levels but doesn't want to discuss climate change. That's like planning a moon launch and ignoring gravity. It's time to get serious and for local officials in this low-lying, coastal region to play a significant role in a debate that involves the health, security, livelihoods, property and essential infrastructure for millions in the Tampa Bay area.

The Coulombray Ghost Net

French officials turn hostile when Sea Shepherd does their job

In September 2016, local divers reported a ghost net measuring approximately 2000m² abandoned by poachers in Le Coulombray, a popular diving site off the Mediterranean coast of Palavas les Flots (near Marseille, France). A year later, the authorities had only offered vague promises to remove the net which has been stifling everything beneath it, so Sea Shepherd’s divers began pulling it up themselves this month as part of Operation Mare Nostrum, an ongoing campaign to remove ghost nets from the Mediterranean Sea. But instead of thanking the volunteers, the French authorities instead issued a press release expressing their disapproval and possible charges against Sea Shepherd. This is the response from Sea Shepherd France President Lamya Essemlali.

Trump's CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY is opining about international relations and nuclear weapons??

The strategic patience of the Obama Admin didn't work w/ North Korea. We can't negotiate our way to disarming North Korea. It doesn't work.

WTF?

Education Week reports on how DeVos' investment in "brain performance" company raises questions

about her ethics and competence

Despite “ethical questions,” Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos continues to invest money in the scientifically dubious company Neurocore, according to Education Week.

In an August 7 report, Education Week reported that DeVos has “significantly increased her family’s financial stake” in the “brain performance” company Neurocore, which “makes questionable claims” about its ability to treat a number of neurological conditions in children and adults.

According to Education Week, there are several concerns surrounding DeVos’ increasing investment in Neurocore: “ethical questions” about potential conflicts of interest and “fresh worries from some researchers about DeVos’s commitment to rigorous scientific research.” From the August 7 report:

Evangelical adviser pushes Trump toward biblical nuclear strike

With the world nearing the nuclear brink, megachurch preacher Robert Jeffress can scarcely contain his apocalyptic glee.

Eager to pour gasoline on a mercifully smoldering fire, Jeffress spouted his uneducated opinion to the Washington Post about nuclear statecraft and diplomatic relations:

“When it comes to how we should deal with evildoers, the Bible, in the book of Romans, is very clear: God has endowed rulers full power to use whatever means necessary — including war — to stop evil,” Jeffress said. “In the case of North Korea, God has given Trump authority to take out Kim Jong Un.”
….
The biblical passage Romans 13 gives the government authority to deal with evildoers, Jeffress said.

“That gives the government to [sic] the authority to do whatever, whether it’s assassination, capital punishment or evil punishment to quell the actions of evildoers like Kim Jong Un,” he said.
