*Good Morning from Occupy Boston! *



*Fact of the Day. *Coming off an unseasonably warm November, scientists
reported that greenhouse gas emissions in 2010 grew by thelargest amount on
record<http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/05/science/earth/record-jump-in-emissions-in-2010-study-finds.html?_r=1>.
Activists are occupying the global
climate<http://www.democracynow.org/2011/12/5/greenpeace_activists_detained_after_risky_stunt>
 talks in Durban this week to underscore the crucial
need<http://www.democracynow.org/2011/12/5/greenpeace_head_kumi_naidoo_from_anti>
 for an immediate science-based policy to tackle the climate crisis before
its too late.

*News from Occupy Boston.  *A mainstream (local affiliate) media
outlet has actually
published <http://www.thebostonchannel.com/news/29928487/detail.html> an
article that focused on grievances that motivate protesters to Occupy and
did so by asking individual occupiers why they were there. If you want to
help get better stories on Occupy Boston to the public, help us distribute
the Boston Occupier; see details below under Volunteer Opportunities.

*News from other Occupies. *What do FARC, Al Qaeda, and Occupy London
protesters have in common? They are all designated terrorist
groups<http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/police-in-city-see-occupiers-as-terror-risk-6272434.html>
 by the City of London.

***Occupy Boston - Tuesday, December 6th, 2011*

*“I think it only makes sense to seek out and identify structures of
authority, hierarchy, and domination in every aspect of life, and to
challenge them; unless a justification for them can be given, they are
illegitimate, and should be dismantled, to increase the scope of human
freedom.” - Noam Chomsky**
*

*Today's Weather:* Showers likely. Areas of fog. Highs around 60. Southwest
winds 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 70 percent.
