U.N.: More Than Half of World's Countries Spawning Jihadists

A highly disturbing new report from the United Nations asserts that more than half of the world's nations are now producing jihadist fighters to join the ranks of terrorist organizations in the Middle East. More than 25,000 mujahideen have joined the al-Qaida network and the Islamic State (ISIS) in recent years, creating an “unprecedented” and long-term threat to international security, according to the U.N. The report, prepared by the U.N. Security Council's special permanent committee for monitoring Islamic violence, “amounts to one of the most bleak and comprehensive assessments of the global foreign fighter phenomenon compiled yet,” the Financial Times stated. The authors of the report said their findings are based on detailed evidence from 27 intelligence and security services from around the globe.

Phi Beta Iota: We're glad he's alive. Badly handled across the board — the arrogance (or ineptitude, or both) of the US Government on this matter for the past two weeks has been beneath contempt.

SchwartzReport: Death of Coal … Norway Divests

05 Energy

In my view, coal is going to be the first carbon energy source to wither and die. It will always be mined because there are non-burning uses for coal in industrial chemistry.  But it will be a vastly diminished industry, operating under much tighter controls because its lobbying power will also diminish. Although it has gotten little coverage in the States I see the decision by Norway to divest from coal, as this  reports describes, as the latest and most powerful example of this transition out of carbon trend. A critical consensus is emerging in collective consciousness that coal is bad as an energy source, and one measurable way this is being expressed is by individual choices concerning investment in coal. This event may be the tipping point.

Norway fund could trigger wave of large fossil fuel divestments, say experts

Other investors are likely to follow Norwegian fund’s move out of coal-based investments, due to its size as the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund
