I don’t need a scientific paper to tell me that the insects are practically all gone. Yet we are being told we have to eat them! No doubt they will be farmed “sustainably” Without so much as one splattered insect on our windshield! Recently I made a trip to a small town where I used to live. This town in about 30 miles east of Kansas City, MO and the highway runs along the Missouri River. Forty years has passed…
These comments dovetail with my essay yesterday. CLIMATE CHANGE: A REASESSMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF THE LAST 3 YEARS How the Environmental Movement Can Find Its Way Again Charles Eisenstein Mar 26, 2023 A central theme of my book on climate is that if we are to focus our attention on a single substance, it should be not carbon dioxide but water. Beyond greenhouse effects, water is crucial in the ways the world maintains conditions for life to thrive. One…
We’ve Geoengineered The World Into A Death Spiral: ‘All Data Indicates We’re Already Beginning To See The Effects Of The Accelerating Systems Collapse Much Sooner Than Predicted’ By Stefan Stanford – All News Pipeline In what is being called ‘bad news on top of bad news,’ more and more dead whales keep washing up on the shores of New Jersey, with a 7th dead whale washing up on Friday the 13th after Jersey Shore residents had reported a ‘sustained, loud…
Seemorerocks We have two diametrically opposed points-of-view on the crisis we are facing. On the one hand we have the environmentalists saying that we have to urgently cut back on the use of nitrogen fertiliser because nitrous oxide is a greenhouse gas that could could ‘threaten global climate goals’. On the other, we have the denialists who say that cutbacks are leading to famine and food shortages because farmers cannot produce food without nitrogen fertilisers. I personally think that reality…
I received some photos from a German friend living in New Zealand taken by her brother in Germany. The following are the (somewhat edited) comments. Below are the photos my brother took last weekend while cycling. He said the fibres where everywhere, blowing in the breeze and visible in the sunlight, and later stuck all over his cycling jersey. You can see what that looks like here on the Wetteradler site https://wetteradler.de/polymerfasern. Paul has put out a call to “Wetteradler” and to…
“The sky is falling! The sky is falling!” cried Chicken Little. And the sky fell, and no one listened, and all was still….. Arthur Firstenberg I am horrified to share this bulletin from Arthur Firstenberg: A scholarly literature search for “electromagnetic” + “biological effects” produces the astonishing number of 76,400 studies, more studies than for most other environmental threats, yet the world continues on, looking yet blind, listening yet deaf, mistaking silence for comfort, the advancing flames for a bright future….
This sort of specific reporting in New Zealand is very rare and when it comes out is hard to find and is not usually in the top headlines Mass bleaching of native sea sponges in Fiordland shocks scientists For the first time there has been a mass bleaching of native sea sponges in Aotearoa, raising alarm about the impact climate change is having on marine ecosystems. A healthy, unbleached native sea sponge (left) and a bleached sea sponge (right). Photo: Dr Valerio…
Economic Collapse, 23 June, 2021 As if we didn’t have enough weird things going on, now birds are suddenly dropping dead in large numbers all across the eastern half of the country. Before they die, a lot of these birds are exhibiting very strange symptoms. Experts are telling us that in many cases birds are developing “crusty or puffy eyes”, and often they appear to go completely blind. In addition, quite a few of these dying birds lose their ability…
I have known about this since the late 1990’s, but now it is “news” Newshub, 13 June, 2021 Men are facing a fertility crisis they may not be able to come back from, and an epidemiologist says hidden chemicals could be to blame. Sperm counts have halved in Western countries, including New Zealand, with a prediction most couples will have to use assisted reproduction by 2045. When Manu Fisi’ihoi and his wife Hannah were struggling to conceive, he admits…
