Amid Media Blackout over Climate Change Links to Hurricane Matthew, Top Scientist Speaks Out

States of emergency have been declared in Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas as Hurricane Matthew barrels toward the Southeast coastline. More than 2 million people have been urged to evacuate their homes. The record-breaking storm has already killed at least 26 people in Haiti and four in the Dominican Republic. The storm is soon expected to hit the Bahamas and then strengthen as it moves toward Florida. Meteorologists are predicting Matthew could be the strongest hurricane to hit the United States since Wilma in 2005. Many scientists are saying climate change has intensified Hurricane Matthew because warmer ocean waters help create stronger hurricanes. Matthew is already the longest-lived Category 4 or 5 hurricane in the Eastern Caribbean on record.

Atmospheric Scientist: Donald Trump & Mike Pence are a Climate Change Denial Dream Team

While 2016 is on pace to become the warmest year on record, climate change has been largely ignored at the presidential and vice-presidential debates so far. We look at Donald Trump’s history of climate change denialism. He has called it a scam and a hoax. In 2012, Donald Trump tweeted: "The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive." We speak to Guardian journalist Oliver Milman and Michael Mann, a distinguished professor of atmospheric science at Penn State University.
Pig Truck Crashes in Ontario
Every piece of bacon, pork, or ham on a plate is the end result of a process filled with cruelty from start to finish. The compassionate and responsible choice for anyone who is shocked by this incident, and the countless others like it, is to go vegan.
Trap-Neuter-Release—It's Cruelty to Animals
So-called "trap-neuter-release" (TNR) programs—more accurately called "trap-neuter-abandon" programs—result in pain, suffering, and agonizing deaths for cats. We would never dream of abandoning dogs to struggle and die on the streets or abandoning our own beloved cats, yet thousands of homeless cats every year are being abandoned to die in TNR programs.

Horses Left with Open Sores, Left to Suffer
In India, thousands of donkeys, mules, and horses are used in cruel “antitoxin” experiments—where workers extract large amounts of blood from the animals—and as PETA India has documented in this recent expose, left them to suffer and in many cases, die a long, painful death.
