Today on TMI: several times over the past few months, the Fed has been forced to adjust downward it’s financial reports for those same periods of time. Why? They’re blaming the  underperformance on freakishly bad weather. At some point they may pull their heads out of the sand and realize that climate change is going to be a recurring problem for their ability to predict fiscal benefit. Steve Horn of DeSmogBlog.com knows another very influential outfit that has just come out with warnings on how the climate crisis is a “threat multiplier”, and no, we’re not talking about Chipotle.

Steve joins us live in studio to discuss that as well as how the windy city had gotten wind of a new pet in the Calumet River neighborhood: petcoke, by-product of tar sands bitumen refining. Suddenly, kids in the neighborhood were being forced to stay indoors – for their own protection. Steve will help us get to the bottom of it.

All that and much more today on TMI at noon on WSUM 91.7FM in Madison, or via live streaming on http://tmitmitmi.com/listen or http://wsum.org/ Tune in!

TMI’s first episode of February 2014 is a hot one!

Bisexuality doesn’t get much attention, and then when it does, it is rarely with clarity. Serving to help the Bi, Pan, Fluid, Queer, Unlabeled and Allied communities of the Upper Midwest, the Bisexual Organizing Project (BOP) (of which I was a board member ten years back) has just transitioned to a new board for 2014. Joining us to discuss what the bi community is, what it needs, and how that’s been addressed so far, is former BOP chair Lauren Beach and incoming BOP chair Camille Holthaus.

Then, Steve Horn of DeSmogBlog.com returns to reveal how the State Department has released the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) for the proposed northern leg of the controversial and long-embattled TransCanada Keystone XL tar sands pipeline… in a “Friday trash dump” manuver, using Super Bowl Friday to release the bad news, so most Americans would be focused on football instead of political scandals. We’ll see why.

On December 26th, after quietly passing both houses of Congress, President Obama signed into law a measure that expedites the use of fracking to obtain Bakken shale oil. Less than a week later, a train carrying Bakken shale oil exploded in North Dakota. Steve Horn of DeSmogBlog.com has the story and joins us to illuminate the situation.

Then, the time is growing short to get a constitutional amendment put through to take down Citizens United, the Supreme Court decision that allowed corporate money virtually unlimited access to the American electoral process. Rick Staggenborg has been stridently working towards making such an amendment a reality, and will join us in simulcast with his own talk show to point out the next steps needed.
