APPARENT HORIZON RETURNS, COLUMN RUNS ON COUNTERPUNCH

Latest piece is on how for a growing number of people, global warming is already a serious and worsening health threat


 

As he explained in his late-July 2024 comeback post, BINJ Executive Director Jason Pramas wrote his Apparent Horizon column from Sept. 2015 to March 2023, and “syndicated it to community and alternative news publications statewide (and sometimes nationally).” From that redux:

I won a couple of national journalism awards for my labors and I hope that I helped the world be a tiny bit better than it would have been if I had never published a single missive. 

Over the years and through many travails, I kept on pumping out new work. But the crises BINJ faced during the COVID pandemic slowed down my output significantly by 2022.

And in the lead up to starting a new BINJ news outlet, I finally put Apparent Horizon aside entirely in March 2023–figuring if our initiative to branch out from just syndicating content to fielding a publication worked out, then I’d get back to writing my column at some point. 

But with BINJ now having HorizonMass up and running, Jason felt “ready to start writing Apparent Horizon again. In the public interest, as ever.” He has since returned to his sweet spots of covering the housing and climate crises, with his latest on the latter—“Canary In A Carbon Trap”—getting syndicated on CounterPunch. 

You can read his column on the “serious and worsening health threat” of global warming here.
