[Untitled] Science vs the Right: state of play at John Quiggin: [...] John Quiggin examines such denialism, writing: I’ll start with some facts that are, if not indisputable, at least sufficiently clear that I don’t intend to engage in dispute about them (i) All major scientific organisations in the world[1] endorse, in broad terms, the analysis of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change which states that the world is getting warmer and that, with high (> 90 per cent) probability, this warming is predominantly due to human action (ii) Most prominent politicians[2], thinktanks, activists, commentators and bloggers on the political right in Australia, the US and Canada (along with a large section in the UK) reject, or express doubts about, this analysis.

[Untitled] WORLD Magazine | Community | Blog Archive | Playing church: I haven’t much experience of the inner peace and joy either, and when I have had such peace and joy at times of trial (such as when I was laid off, and was convinced God had a better job for me elsewhere), I think it comes as much from knowing that the Christians I know will support me through those times both emotionally and in practical ways, as in trust in God.

[Untitled] Say No To... - Community: You raised a lot of points that I haven't thought of (I support a reduction in reproduction for the ecological and sociological benefits, but I hadn't thought much about how it would help feminism) and you're right: the idea that having children is naturally the right thing to do, or even a cultural responsibility, is so destructive to society and to feminism. I can't tell you how many people--many of them feminists--have told me that a woman's greatest power lies in her ability to have children.
