When disaster comes, and governments cant help, people boil over. From Athens, we talk with foreign correspondent and climate security analyst Peter Schwartzstein. His new book is: In The Heat and the Fury: On the Frontlines of Climate Violence. Then: why are scientists still talking about 1.5 degrees of warming as the goal, when last year was already hotter than that? We ask leading researcher Christoph Bertram for a more realistic take. Appalachia and Nepal are reeling from city-breaking floods, and Las Vegas is still sinfully hot in October. Sorry United Kingdom, you drew the never-ending-rain card in the climate casino. Who is next?

China at 75 - Changes Unseen in a Century
Oct. 7, 2024, 12:52 a.m.
October 1, 2024 marked the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, when Mao Zedong declared that "the Chinese people have stood up."
These unified events are monumental because of the enormous role China plays in the world today. The People’s Republic of China 75 years ago was a colonial holding looted by the world powers. China is now the economic powerhouse of the world providing hope for other developing countries of Africa and the Global South fighting for sovereignty against the forces of imperialism.
U.S. threats, military encirclement and hostile propaganda are escalating daily. In this consequential moment, it is paramount that socialist, anti-imperialist, and progressive forces join together to explain and defend the role of China today.
Discussions will include the ongoing processes of poverty alleviation and modernization; China's role in the struggle against climate catastrophe; China's contribution to Marxist thought; the significance of the Africa Summit and recent meeting of all the Palestinian organizations in China and more.
Organizers and Sponsors:
The New York City event is jointly organized by Friends of Socialist China and Workers World Party in coordination with Black Agenda Report, Freedom Road Socialist Organization, Qiao Collective and the International Manifesto Group. Many other organizations and individuals known for their political contributions in analyzing the Chinese Revolution will participate. (See list below)

Episode 208 October 6 2024 Tip-toeing thru the forgotten history of popular music
Oct. 6, 2024, 1:08 p.m.
Why would you listen to this week's Backbeat show? To hear a rare record by a great New Orleans musician, Cousin Joe (pictured), who didn't like recording, so there's not a lot of his early records around. Or you could hear a gospel group that had a big influence on James Brown, how about some Canadian rockabilly, or a rock & roll record by a guy who later became a 1970s soft-rock star.
Backbeat is also available in a 56 and 58 minute versions in three separate files if you want breaks. I am happy to provide custom station IDs, promos and liners. Email Lorne@Backbeatradio.com or visit www.backbeatradio.com for more information.
