Occupy was right: capitalism has failed the world
Andrew Hussey, The Observer, Sunday 13 April 2014: One of the slogans of the 2011 Occupy protests was 'capitalism isn't working'. Now, in an epic, groundbreaking new book, French economist Thomas Piketty explains why they're right.

A Climate of TRUST -- from Our Children's Trust
In May 2011, a hatch of unprecedented legal actions took place across the United States - youth from around the country were taking their governments to court for failure to protect their atmosphere for future generations. The basis of their legal actions was the Public Trust Doctrine. "A Climate of TRUST" is a story about the scientists who developed the scientific prescriptions needed for a climate recovery plan, the attorney who figured out how to apply the Public Trust Doctrine to the atmosphere, and one of the attorneys who is supporting these youth in court.
In order to preserve and restore our atmosphere, we need to return atmospheric carbon dioxide levels to 350 ppm, and in order to do that, we need massive reforestation and climate recovery plans. We need it NOW!
From Jim Hansen's e-mail mailing list 14 April 2014:
Young people will seek intergenerational justice in historic case in Washington DC on May 2. See Jim Hansen's discussion here or on his web page. Encourage young people to show their support for intergenerational equity by showing up at the Court. They can see U.S. democracy in action, and they can remind the judges of the urgency of taking action.
