Short Film Shows How Climate Change is Swallowing Louisiana
07 December 15
n Louisiana Disappearing, AJ+ reminds us that for some communities, climate change is already here. Looking at two towns on the Gulf Coast of Louisiana, Slidell and Dulac (the latter is home to an indigenous community), the film outlines the effects climate change has already had on these communities and what their future will hold.
�Here, every hour about a football field of land is lost to rising sea levels,� says narrator Francesca Fiorentini at the beginning of the film. Fiorentini speaks to residents and activists, gets historical explanations from Bob Marshall, a journalist at The Lens, and outlines the oil and gas industry�s role in decimating the coast. The film and its images are powerful. Take five minutes to watch it above!

We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.
General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.
Remember that making the world better begins with responsible action.

Most of the charges are not much more and failures to communicate. Mueller says Manafort did not properly report things he did or money he moved from overseas work to the US. So just re-file the reports. Happens all the time.
This is a pretty weak start. Nothing that happened that this indictemnt refers to involves a real crime. The "conspiracy agqinst the US" is an admission that no crime took place. Conspiracy means two or more people appeared discuss a crime and made some sort of action in the direction of the crime but actually doing the crime is not part of it.
We have not heard the last from Mueller. He's off to a weak start. We just have wait to see his next move.
