This week on CounterSpin: Wikileaks has leaked a draft chapter of the secretive Trans Pacific Partnership “free trade” agreement. The chapter, addressing intellectual property rights, favors corporations over the public, say critics. What do the corporate lobbyists and government negotiators have in mind for us? We’ll talk with Peter Maybarduk of Public Citizen.
Also on CounterSpin today: The monster storm that struck the Philippines has killed thousands and left hundreds of thousands homeless. This happened right before international climate change talks were getting underway. But are media making the connection between climate change and this catastrophe? We’ll talk to Anne Petermann of the Global Justice Ecology Project.

Yes, the physics and some of the geeoitrmes are very similar. The scales in Antarctica are much larger than they are in Greenland, though. This also applies to the (logistical) costs to study the problem that contributes to global sealevel rise. There is so much that is both uncertain and exciting to explore with both in-situ and remotely sensed data as well as computer models.
