floods in Dubai

Something fishyDid cloud seeding drown Dubai?

Eel under the Rock - Apr 23, 2024

Dubai conducted cloud seeding exercises for two consecutive days before the floods. Have we crossed the line?

   

The city of Dubai is paralyzed after torrential rains hit the region in 24 hours, the entire year's rainfall.

Schools were closed and employees were asked to work from home after underground parking lots were flooded. Metro services were also disrupted after two days of downpours. Dubai International Airport, one of the world's busiest, is facing significant disruption with flights diverted or delayed for several hours.

The damage is not limited to the city. Roads in the capital, Abu Dhabi, were also flooded, while a 70-year-old man lost his life when his vehicle was caught in flash floods in Ras Al Khaimah.

In neighboring Oman, 19 people, including schoolchildren, died after days of consecutive rains flooded communities, local media reported.
Triggered by cloud seeding?

Many media outlets have attributed the flooding to the cloud-seeding activities that Dubai regularly engages in to meet its freshwater needs.

Under this approach, planes are used to introduce chemicals and small particles, such as potassium chloride salts, into rain clouds to increase precipitation.

According to Ahmed Habib, a specialist meteorologist at the National Center of Meteorology (NCM), the state carried out cloud seeding in the days preceding the rains. Planes were sent from Al Ain airport on Monday and Tuesday to seed convective clouds that had formed over the region, Bloomberg reported.

Since this news was published, users have taken to social media to share images and videos of the flooding and have blamed the seeding exercises for the flooding.
Should we blame cloud seeding?

While it is easy to correlate the two incidents and blame the flooding on the seeding exercises, a closer look at the reality reveals a different story.

Cloud seeding is not new to Dubai. The Bloomberg report states that this technique has been used since 2002 and has never had such disastrous results in the previous two decades. We can be sure that the seeding experiments did not go wrong this time since Dubai conducts around 300 such operations every year. The NCM also clarified that it did not carry out cloud seeding on the day of the storm.

Tennessee against chemtrails

Digital DawnTennessee Senate bans geoengineering 'chemtrails'

Digital Dawn - March 27, 2024

The bill seeks to "prohibit the intentional injection, release, or dispersal, by any means, of chemicals, chemical compounds, substances, or devices within the borders of this State in the atmosphere, for the express purpose of affecting temperature, weather, or intensity of sunlight.”

   

Lawmakers in the great state of Tennessee passed a bill this week to ban the spraying of chemicals into the atmosphere, a government weather manipulation technique known as "geoengineering."

The bill continues: "The intentional injection, release, or dispersal, by any means, of chemicals, chemical compounds, substances, or devices within the borders of this State in the "atmosphere for the express purpose of affecting temperature, weather or intensity of sunlight is prohibited."

For years, many have suspected the government of spraying aerosolized particles into the atmosphere – in the form of streaks of white clouds that do not dissipate – not only manipulate the weather, but also destroy the ecosystem of Earth.

This bill comes as prominent geoscientists have recently accused the United Nations of conspiring to destroy Earth's environment.

In their article, published in the “Advances In Social Sciences Research Journal” in September 2022, James Marvin Herndon and Mark Whiteside warned that “time is running out to bring a definitive end to all geoengineering activities,” especially “aerosolized coal fly ash that they say is sprayed by jet planes” and “into the troposphere,” where it “systematically destroys Earth’s support systems and poisons life on this planet.”

The US federal government has also tacitly admitted to engaging in this practice, called stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI). Former CIA Director John Brennan described it as "a method of seeding the stratosphere with particles that can help reflect the sun's heat, in the same way that volcanic eruptions do."

New WorldArthur Firstenberg: Where have all the insects gone?

New World - March 22, 2024

The satellites take them all. The least noticed and most serious assault on earthly life falls upon us from the sky.

   

The [invisible] wires of nature that hang over us from horizon to horizon, carrying the electricity that powers our bodies and the information that guides our growth, healing, and daily living, are now carrying electricity dirty — millions of frequencies and pulsations that disturb our cells and organs and darken our nervous systems, whether we are humans, elephants, birds, insects, fish or flowering plants.

Pulsations pollute the Earth beneath our feet, surround us in the air where we fly, cross the oceans where we swim, flow through our veins and meridians, and enter us through our leaves and roots. The planetary transformer which provided the solar wind stirs and bursts into flames.

The lake pictured above is the largest in the UK. Located in Northern Ireland, Lough Neagh is so overrun with flies in spring and summer that residents close their windows to protect themselves from the living smoke. Clothes left on a line are covered in flies. The same was true of the windscreen of any vehicle traveling along the 90 miles of Lough Neagh coastline. Until 2023.

Last year, incredibly, we didn't see any flies. Windshields and hanging clothes were devoid of them. None came through the open windows. The other species that ate them also disappeared: ducks, frogs, fish, eels and predatory insects. The fly larvae are no longer there to keep the bottom of the lake clean. There is not much life left in the lake, except a proliferation of algae. "Has the ecosystem of the UK's largest lake collapsed?". » asks the Guardian in an article published on February 19, 2024.

Has the entire Earth's ecosystem collapsed, we ask, because the same thing is happening everywhere, according to the reports I have received over the past year from almost everywhere on every continent?
56 years of global vandalism

On June 13, 1968, the United States completed the launch of the world's first constellation of military satellites. Twenty-eight of them, more than double the satellites orbiting Earth until then, were launched to an altitude of 18 feet, in the heart of the outer Van Allen radiation belt. The “Hong Kong” flu pandemic began two weeks later and lasted almost two years.

Over the next three decades, the sky slowly filled with hundreds of satellites, primarily for military purposes. Then, in the late 1990s, cell phones became popular.

On May 17, 1998, a company called Iridium completed launching a fleet of 66 satellites into the ionosphere, at an altitude of just 485 miles, and began testing them. These satellites were to provide cellular telephone service to the general public from any point on the globe. Each satellite directed 48 separate beams toward Earth's surface, dividing the planet into 3 cells. Cases of insomnia have been reported worldwide.

The Iridium satellites entered commercial service on September 23, 1998. The effect was devastating. I contacted 57 people in my network in 6 countries, as well as two nurses, a doctor and a patient support group. 86% of people I surveyed, and the majority of patients and support group members fell ill on exactly Wednesday, September 23, with headaches, dizziness, nausea, insomnia, nosebleeds , heart palpitations, asthma attacks, ringing in the ears, etc. One person reported feeling like a knife had gone through the back of their head early Wednesday morning. Another felt shooting pains in her chest. Some, including me, were so sick they weren't sure they would live. We were all seriously ill for three weeks. On September 23, I suddenly lost my sense of smell, which I did not regain for six years. Mortality statistics from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control showed a 4 to 5 percent increase in the national death rate starting in the last week of September and lasting for two weeks. Some people reported reddish skies the night of September 23.

At the beginning of December 1998, I again received phone calls from all directions asking me what had changed. Orbcomm, which provides data services to industries, went commercial on Nov. 30 with 28 satellites orbiting at 500 miles altitude.

On July 25, 1999, another company, Globalstar, achieved worldwide cellular coverage with 32 satellites, at an altitude of 876 miles, and began testing. I got calls again from people who were sure the Earth was different again.

On February 28, 2000, Globalstar completed its constellation of 48 satellites and became a commercial enterprise. Nausea, headaches, leg pain and breathing problems became widespread, both among people who said they were electrosensitive and among those who were not. The effects were felt as early as Friday, February 25, the previous working day.

Iridium, which went bankrupt in August 1999, resumed its worldwide commercial cellular telephone service on March 30, 2001, after signing a contract with the U.S. military. The night of March 30 was accompanied by a red sky even more intense and widespread than that which had accompanied the initial launch of the service two and a half years earlier. A red aurora has been observed in the northern hemisphere, as far as Mexico, as well as in the southern hemisphere. A catastrophic loss of Kentucky racehorse foals was recorded in late April and early May, and because mares abort several weeks to a month after a viral infection or other precipitating event, the triggering event is around the end of March. Similar foaling problems were reported around the same time in Ohio, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Maryland, Texas, northern Michigan and Peru. Breeders have also reported newborn and older horses with unusual eye problems, as well as adult horses with pericarditis.

On June 5, 2001, Iridium added data to its voice service, including connection to the Internet. Hoarseness was one of the main complaints from people who contacted me over the next few weeks.

For the next two decades, Iridium and Globalstar were the sole providers of satellite phones. In 2019, SpaceX enters the scene.

In November 2019, SpaceX began regularly launching 60 satellites at a time into an even lower orbit, just 326 to 350 miles above sea level, and I began receiving reports from people around the world of ailments. headache, dizziness, insomnia, exhaustion, skin problems, feelings of tightness and heart problems. Nearly 200 people in my network have reported heart palpitations, cardiac arrhythmias, or heart attacks.

In March 2021, the density of signals polluting the ionosphere increased significantly. SpaceX, which had already launched more than 1 Starlink satellites and was testing them on a limited number of customers, launched 000 satellites on March 60, 4 more on March 60, 11 more on March 60, and 14 more on March 60. A competitor, OneWeb, also launched 24 satellites on the night of March 36. The number of satellites launched into space this month and this day has never been higher. And on March 24, SpaceX significantly increased the speed of its satellite Internet connections to more than 24 Mbps.

On March 24, 2021, a threshold was crossed and the deterioration of life on Earth accelerated considerably. Some people reported feeling unwell as of March 4 or 11, but 1 people in 000 countries emailed or called me on or after March 50, confirming my own awareness that some A terrible thing was happening to our planet. The reports came from residents of New York, Paris and London, as well as people living in remote locations, miles from the nearest cell tower. They were from people who didn't use any wireless technology and others who had smart meters in their homes and 24G antennas outside and were emailing me from their cell phones. They came from people young and old. Regardless, they all had similar experiences. All of them, whether they had been ill before or not, became suddenly and profoundly ill on March 5 or 24, depending on the time zone in which they lived, and most slept little or not at all the night of March 25.

People reported that not only they, but their spouses, children, parents, neighbors, friends, co-workers, clients, and everyone they knew were sick, exhausted, and irritable on the 24th or 25th. March and they were having trouble sleeping. Some reported that their pets or farm animals were sick at the same time: cats, dogs, chickens, goats, cows.

The details are consistent. They couldn't sleep for one, two, three or more nights, starting on March 24 or 25. Some have taken melatonin or other sleeping pills, but still haven't fallen asleep. They suffered from pain and itching, either all over their body or specific parts of the body, usually the feet and legs. They had headaches. They had muscle spasms. They were weak and exhausted and could barely stand or walk, and some stumbled or fell. They had skin rashes. They had dizziness and nausea, stomach aches and diarrhea. The ringing in the ears suddenly intensified. Their eyes were red or inflamed, or their vision suddenly deteriorated. They have had heart palpitations, fast or irregular heartbeat, or suddenly high or very low blood pressure. A few had nosebleeds or coughed up blood, or a blood vessel burst in their eye. They were anxious, depressed, suicidal and irritable.

Since then, SpaceX has launched rockets carrying dozens of satellites at a time on a weekly or biweekly basis, filling the sky with luminous objects that interfere with astronomy, spewing chemicals that destroy Earth's protective ozone layer. our planet, filling the upper layers of the atmosphere with water vapor that should not be there and which increases the current in the global electrical circuit and the violence of storms, and by cluttering space with satellites which are nothing more than solar panels and computers that break down, wear out and need to be replaced constantly, and which are desorbed to burn in the lower atmosphere, filling it with toxic metals and chemicals that everyone can breathe — and by modifying the electromagnetic environment of the Earth which has not changed for three billion years and on which life below depends for its vitality and survival.

Last Thursday morning, from Boca Chica, Texas, SpaceX successfully launched into space, for the first time, its spacecraft, the largest rocket ever built, the one with which it wants to transport men and women to Mars . On Friday, it launched 23 more Starlink satellites, bringing the total number of satellites polluting the ionosphere to more than 6, not only for Internet communication with satellite dishes, but also for direct communication with cell phones . The 000 satellites also communicate directly with each other, enveloping the Earth with pulsed lasers carrying 6 million gigabytes of data every day.

Everyone I know has had trouble sleeping and has been in pain since last Wednesday, the night Starship launched.

Since March 24, 2021, not only has human health deteriorated, but the Earth's biodiversity everywhere has collapsed. People have not so much noticed the decline of large wild animals like wolves, bears, lions and tigers, which were already rare, but they are shocked by the total disappearance of smaller animals which until recently were so common that you couldn't open your windows without them flying inside. They are shocked by the disappearance of all the frogs that swam in their ponds, the birds that nested in their trees, the worms that slithered across the ground, the insects that came through their windows and covered their clothes hanging on the line. My newsletters of March 29, June 21, September 20, October 17 and November 28, 2023 contained important articles on this subject from various parts of the world. My newsletters from December 5 and 26, 2023, and January 9 and February 6, 2024 cited people from around the world emailing or calling me, and I have a huge backlog of other reports from this type that you can read when I post them in the future.

If we want to have a planet to live on, not only for our children, but also for ourselves, radiation must stop. Not only must we dismantle the cell phone towers, which are so ugly to look at, but also the cell phones that we hold in our hands and on which we have become so dependent, as well as the satellites that crush all remaining life under their feet. Hurry up.

BastamagReconciling agriculture and biodiversity by improving farmers’ income

Bastamag - March 05, 2024

“Biodiversity is the basis of agricultural production,” insists ecologist Vincent Bretagnolle. Research carried out over 30 years with farms in Deux-Sèvres shows that protecting biodiversity increases yields.

   

Target the environment to extinguish agricultural anger. This is the choice made by the French government at the beginning of February which notably announced the suspension of the Ecophyto plan. This aimed to halve the use of pesticides by 2030. For the executive, environmental protection would be incompatible with the fact of production: environmental standards are reduced to administrative hassles preventing the agricultural profession to live well. However, scientific studies agree on the role of pesticides - particularly neonicotinoids - in the collapse of bee populations, or the consequences of intensive agriculture on the disappearance of birds and floral diversity.

A large open-air laboratory of 45 hectares in Deux Sèvres, created 000 years ago by researcher Vincent Bretagnolle in collaboration with farmers, shows on the contrary that the protection of biodiversity, particularly pollinating insects, makes it possible to increase yields. This testing ground also reveals that farmers manage to increase their income by reducing pesticides and fertilizers such as synthetic nitrogen. It seemed essential to us in Basta! to broadcast this interview with Vincent Bretagnolle so that this large-scale scientific experiment on changes in agricultural practices is better known.

Sophie Chapelle: Should we talk about erosion or collapse of biodiversity?

Vincent Bretagnolle: Both terms are appropriate. Every year, we witness a slow erosion of biodiversity: we lose 1 to 2% of the number of birds in agricultural areas in all European countries. After 50 years this represents at least 50% of the birds! We can therefore speak of collapse when we take a step back.

What are the most evocative data on this subject?

We have very precise data on bird populations [1]. They decline particularly in agricultural environments – five to eight times faster than in wooded environments, for example. Around thirty species are dependent on the agricultural environment in France – partridges, quails, gray harriers, skylarks, little bustards, etc. These species are decreasing even more quickly than the others.

The data on insects point in the same direction. 90% of European butterflies populations have disappeared from agricultural environments. For locusts and ground beetles, the drop observed is 30 to 50% on our study site. It is therefore not surprising that birds are disappearing since they feed on insects. The decline of one leads to the decline of the other. There is a long-term collapse of biodiversity, insects and birds.

Mini dams in the Alps

ReporterreMini dams: Alpine torrents sacrificed to produce energy

Reporterre - March 01, 2024

The deployment of small hydroelectric plants on Alpine torrents is growing according to data collected by Reporterre. Many mayors are delighted but biodiversity is a problem.

   

It was believed that the Alpine rivers were already well corseted with dams and turbines. But the rush for blue gold continues in the mountains, at the risk of causing irreversible damage to the last wild waterways of the Alps. “There has been a shift over the last twenty years,” says David Doucente, fish engineer for the Hautes-Alpes fishermen’s federation. Until the 2000s, there were a few hydroelectric power stations in the Alps, but these projects were supervised by EDF with measured developments. Since then, many private operators have filed applications and we have started to notice overexploitation of the waterways. »

Neither state services nor the professional union France Hydro Electricité have precise figures on this deployment. Their inventory had, however, already been carried out by a study engineer in 2021 in the departments of Haute-Savoie, Savoie, Alpes-Maritimes and Hautes-Alpes. As part of his dissertation written in the EcoFlows laboratory at the National Institute of Agronomic Research (INRAe), Nils Dumarski listed the power plants installed since 1900 whose power is less than 10 kilowatts. Of the 000 hydroelectric dams recorded, 323 were erected between 124 and 2000, while only 2020 were built between 116 and 1950. “The pace of installation of micro hydroelectric power plants in the four departments studied is accelerating, particularly since the 2000s. “This dynamic is particularly important above 2000 meters,” he notes.

An increase that is corroborated by Reporterre data. Thanks to the national register of electricity production and storage installations, we have identified 347 small active dams in the Alps, of which at least 167 have been created or renovated over the last twenty years.
The State is banking on hydroelectricity

This deployment is explained by the State's desire to increase hydroelectricity in its energy mix. To achieve this, EDF has purchased its production at a preferential rate since 2007. Since 2016, France has also been conducting calls for tenders for the operation of new small hydroelectric power plants, which guaranteed the winners additional remuneration. These financial incentives have promoted the professionalization of the sector and the multiplication of projects.

Alas, most French rivers are “already widely exploited and present few additional opportunities in the long term,” underlines the Energy Futures 2050 report from the high-voltage electricity transmission network manager RTE.

microplastics

BastamagThe great wave of micro and nano-plastics is coming

Bastamag - 26 Jan 2024

Plastic pollution is everywhere, in water, food, our homes, and our bodies. “No living being has the biological tools to digest this plastic,” warns researcher Nathalie Gontard. Alternatives exist.

   

Sophie Chapelle: When we think of plastic pollution, we visualize the seas of plastic described as the “seventh continent”. Why is there more danger in plastic that we cannot see?

Nathalie Gontard: The danger is very often equated with plastic waste large enough to be seen. Their consequences are not negligible – in quantity, they dry out the soil and suffocate species that ingest them. But plastic becomes truly dangerous when it is no longer visible, that is to say when it is fragmented into micro and nano-plastics. It then multiplies its interaction and nuisance properties. It has the capacity to transform and absorb essentially hydrophobic molecules, i.e. all pollutants (pesticides, etc.) present in the environment.

Micro and nano-plastics can transport these molecules – through water, air and land – and enter all the organs of living beings, passing biological barriers. We find them assimilated in the pancreas of shrimp, our blood, our lungs, our liver... everywhere!

However, no living being has the biological tools to digest this plastic, to degrade it completely. The result is an accumulation of foreign bodies which leads to biological, metabolic, etc. dysfunctions.

Is this wave of micro and nano-plastics ahead of us?

We have accumulated nine billion tons of plastics on Earth since the 1950s, some of which have already degraded into micro and nano-plastics but the vast majority of which are in the process of degrading, notably in our landfills, but not only that.

Because it is not only single-use plastics that pose a problem, but also those with long-term use, in construction or clothing for example. From the moment they are produced, plastics begin to wear out, degrade and produce harmful micro- and nano-plastics. Micro-plastics in Lake Geneva [50 tonnes accumulate there each year, editor's note] come from synthetic fiber clothing still in use and emitted during washing.

The micro plastics deep in the Arctic ice come from the wear and tear of buildings, insulated with plastics and still in use. Microplastics in the air mainly come from the wear and tear of tires and the roads we use. Plastic pollution is primarily that which we do not see and emitted during use.

The great wave of micro- and nano-plastics is coming. We talk about a “time bomb”. When we produce 1 kg of plastic today, it is future generations who will have to deal with all the micro and nano-plastics that will result.

To what extent has plastic invaded the agriculture and food sector?

Of all the plastics we use, 40% comes from the manufacturing, transport and packaging of our food, therefore agriculture and the agri-food industry. In this sector, the uses of plastic are sometimes very short, with a kind of excess in its use. We have come to the point of consuming food packaged in plastic when we absolutely don't need it! One of the objectives of the anti-waste law for a circular economy (in force since 2022) is precisely to eliminate all this unnecessary packaging, in particular plastic packaging for fresh fruit and vegetables. But industrial lobbies are seeking to delay the implementation of these measures.

What is your view on so-called biodegradable plastic mulch films developed since the 2000s, particularly in vegetable crops and corn?

In agriculture, as in all other areas, new technologies are being developed with a lot of plastic. For example, we use plastics to be placed on the ground to limit the use of pesticides or watering, we cultivate in greenhouses to increase productivity... They are presented as ecological transition technologies. This is true to the extent that they reduce our carbon footprint.

On the other hand, they increase our plastic footprint – that is to say its capacity to last for thousands of years in the form of micro and nano-plastic. The plastic footprint is not taken into account in life cycle analyses. This is why certain strategies are entirely based on recycling, even though plastic recycling does not exist!

Can plastic be biodegradable?

CO2 is good for the Earth

Jacob's ladderEarth greener thanks to increased CO2 in the atmosphere

Jacob's Ladder - Jan 13, 2024

Freeman Dyson: The entire Earth is greener thanks to increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

   

According to the late Freeman Dyson, computer models help you understand the climate, but they do a very poor job of predicting it.

Freeman Dyson (1923–2020) was a British-born American theoretical physicist and mathematician, known for his work on quantum field theory, astrophysics, random matrices, the mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics, the physics of matter. condensed, nuclear physics and engineering. He was one of the most famous figures in XNUMXth century physics.

In 2006, Dyson published “The Scientist as Rebel,” in which he questioned the role of human activity in causing climate change. In a 2008 interview with Physics World, he said that money spent on fighting climate change should instead be targeted at "other more pressing and important problems, such as poverty, infectious diseases, “public education and health”. He also said that thinking about the potential benefits of climate change “won’t do us any harm.”

In 2015 he joined Stuart McNish, host of Conversations that Matter. “There is human-caused climate change,” he said. “The question is how much and whether it’s good or bad.”

“First of all, we don't understand the details. "It's probably a lot less than is commonly claimed and the most important thing is that carbon dioxide has enormous non-climatic effects that are extremely favorable [and] that are not taken into account," he said. declared. As measured by satellites, “the entire Earth is becoming greener because of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.”

Dyson began studying the effects of carbon dioxide (CO2) present in the atmosphere on vegetation "37 years ago", that is to say around 1978.

He explained that increased CO2 leads to increased agricultural yields, forests and all kinds of growth in the biological world. “And that’s more important and more certain than the climate effects,” he said.

When he began studying the effects of CO2 on plants, he thought the effect might be around 10%. But 35 years later, he found that figure was about 25 percent. CO2 increased by about 40% and “about half of that went to vegetation,” he said. “It’s extremely beneficial both for food production, but also for biodiversity, species preservation and everything good.” This comes from observable evidence, he added.

Regarding the idea that models are good predictors, he recalled what Japanese climate expert Suki Manabe, who developed the first climate model in the 1960s, linked warming of Earth's climate to increasing of carbon dioxide, always said and always says: “These climate models are excellent tools for understanding the climate, but they are very poor tools for predicting the climate.

The reason they fail to predict climate is simple, Dyson explained. “These are models that contain only a few factors, but there are many things they forget: The real world is much more complicated than the models.”

“I don't think any of these models can really be predictive,” he added, because climate change is too complex and involves too many factors. “You just can't model everything, it's really out of reach,” he said.

Some climatologists claim that the Sun has no effect because its temperature does not change. “It is true that the temperature of the Sun does not change,” Dyson said. “But its activity is changing.”

By activity, Dyson refers to sunspots and magnetic storms. “They fluctuate very strongly with the 11-year cycle and we see an effect on the climate,” he said.

Nir Shaviv has studied the effects of the Sun's activity: "He's finding a direct effect of this solar cycle, this sunspot cycle, on climate," Dyson said. “It is clear that this activity of the Sun is having an effect.”

“There was an important additional piece of evidence, namely the Little Ice Age, which occurred in the 17th century, and which also coincided with when the Sun went to sleep for about 70 years,” said Dyson. “There was a thing called the Maunder Minimum, when sunspots just didn't appear and at the same time there was a very cold climate in Europe. So that's pretty strong evidence of correlation. But there is now direct evidence and challenge from modern observations.

The other trick of the climate alarmists is to take water vapor “out of the equation.” Water vapor makes up about 90% of the atmosphere. So you can't take water vapor out of the equation, Dyson said. "It's fine [to neglect water vapor] if you want to talk about Mars," Dyson said with a laugh, because there is no water vapor on Mars.

“CO2 is so beneficial in other ways that it would be foolish to try to reduce it,” Dyson said. “The fact is that carbon dioxide will increase, we will continue to burn oil and coal and that will probably do us good – the Earth will become greener. »

“As measured from space, the entire Earth is becoming greener from carbon dioxide, so this increases agricultural yields, forests and increases the growth of the biological world, and this is greater and more certain than the effects on the climate. »

Alternatiba Lyon loses its subsidies

ReporterreDeemed too radical, Alternatiba Lyon loses its subsidies

Reporterre - Jan 05, 2024

The Rhône prefecture has removed Alternatiba's subsidy from Lyon, which it blames for its actions of civil disobedience. A now common practice to repress environmental associations.

   

With dry bread and water. The Rhône prefecture removed a subsidy request from Alternatiba, Mediapart revealed at the end of last December. This envelope of 3 euros was to be used to renovate the kitchen of the Lyon association bar of the environmental movement.

His cut was announced in May 2023, during the college meeting of the Fund for the Development of Associative Life (FDVA). According to a report obtained by the investigative media, the secretary general of the Rhône prefecture, Vanina Nicoli, indicated that she was withdrawing Alternatiba's subsidy request because of its "problematic position on civil disobedience" .

The senior civil servant would have referred to the republican engagement contract (CER), declaring that it implies “the duty not to undermine public order”. Since the Separatism law of August 2021, associations are required to sign the CER. Any breach of its values ​​exposes them to the refusal of the subsidies granted. “We imagined it targeting associations categorized as “Islamist” or “separatist”, but the CER mainly serves to create a halo of suspicion around environmental associations,” notes Julien Talpin, sociologist at the CNRS and member of the Observatory of Associative Freedoms. .
“We don’t want to let ourselves be censored”

Contacted by Reporterre, the prefecture confirmed that it “did not wish to subsidize civil disobedience actions carried out by this associative structure”. She argues that “obtaining a grant is not a right” and that of the 593 applications submitted, only 283 were selected. However, according to Mediapart, Alternatiba's request was supported by a positive opinion from the prefecture's services.

Armageddon of the birds

healthy homeThe global scale of bird Armageddon

Healthy home - Oct 31, 2023

Anders Brunstad alerted me to the installation of one of the most powerful radar stations in the world on the Varanger peninsula in Finnmark, Norway, just before tens of thousands of birds fell dead throughout the peninsula.

   

The southern and eastern coasts of the peninsula also have 4G+ telephony and, increasingly, the recently added 5G service.

In the Ekkerøy nature reserve on the southern coast of the peninsula, at least 15 endangered kittiwakes died in late July and early August 000. The gulls nest in summer on high cliffs, directly in the line of radar target, which is 2023 kilometers away. The restaurant in Ekkerøy was forced to close for the summer because it was raining dead birds. The total population of these seabirds in Norway was only around 50. Dead terns and other types of gulls were also collected. Half of Ekkerøy's cranes are dead.

The radar, called Globus III, was built by the United States on the island of Vardøya, in Vardø, Norway's easternmost town, located across a bay in northern Norway. Russia. It appears to be part of a civil defense network called Space Fence. Details about this site have been kept secret, but I found a request for information posted on February 22, 2022 on the US government website, SAM.gov. It reads the following:

“This system is one of a kind and will be commissioned in 2023. It is a binational and collaborative specialized collection system. The GLOBUS program is a dual-band terrestrial radar system consisting of an S-band solid-state phased array, an X-band parabolic antenna, an integrated system controller (ISC), and a suite of mission communications (MCS) hosted at a site outside the continental United States (OCONUS).

Other Space Fence radars are located on Kwajalein Island, Marshall Islands, and Western Australia. These S-band (2 GHz to 4 GHz) phased array radars each have 36 transmitting antennas, a peak power of 000 MW, and when focused into a narrow beam that sweeps the sky in all directions , a peak effective radiated power of several billion watts.

The conflagration is not limited to Finnmark or Norway. Last summer, I reported on the mass deaths of seabirds nesting near new antennas in the Netherlands and France (Birds on Texel Island; Sea Birds' Last Refuges). This summer the situation is much worse. The continued worldwide proliferation of 4G and 5G cell towers and antennas, as well as offshore wind farms, has killed millions of wild birds on five continents, as well as foxes, skunks, raccoons scrubbers, fishermen, badgers, martens, black bears, grizzly bears, lynx, mountain lions, wild boars, otters, Virginia possums, seals, penguins, and other animals.

Last year, 40% of Dalmatian pelicans nesting in Greece died, as did 20% of those in Romania and large numbers of those in Montenegro and Albania. As of May 2023, more than 50 dead wild birds of all kinds have been reported in the United Kingdom, 000 in eastern Canada, and tens of thousands in the United States. On July 40, 000, China reported 31 dead birds in Tibet. Mortality reports come from every state in the United States and include 2023 bird species. A very large number of bald eagles have died. In November and December 5, more than 100 seabirds died along the Peruvian coast, including 129 Peruvian pelicans and 2022 brown boobies, two endangered species in Peru. In Chile, as of January 50, 000, approximately 16 seabirds have died, including pelicans, kelp gulls, Belcher's gulls, gray gulls, guanay cormorants, Peruvian boobies, elegant terns and griffon vultures .

On May 9, 2023, the Chilean government reported the deaths of 27 seabirds and on July 977, 21, the Peruvian government reported the deaths of 2023 seabirds. These are birds of 519 different species. Additionally, Chile reported the deaths of 541 Humboldt penguins, 65 Magellanic penguins, 2 sea lions and smaller numbers of dolphins, porpoises, otters and other types of seals, while Peru reported the deaths of 517 sea lions and 460 other marine mammals. According to a report from OFFLU, a global network of expertise on animal flu, Chile has lost at least 16% of its Humboldt penguins, Peru has lost at least 856% of its Peruvian pelicans and Chile and Peru together have lost at least 9% of their sea lions.

Ornithologists all blame this disaster on bird flu, even though most of the dead birds show no trace of the flu virus and those that test positive all have different variants of the virus and therefore cannot pass it on to each other, and much less pass it on to bears and penguins. For example, the Norwegian Veterinary Institute looked for the influenza virus in 233 birds that died between August 14 and October 1, 2023. They found the highly pathogenic H5N1 virus in 8 birds, the highly pathogenic H5N5 in 2 birds, the Highly pathogenic H5Nx (other subtypes) in 2 birds, low pathogenic H5Nx in 6 birds, “other influenza A virus” in 8 birds, and no virus in 207 birds.

Yet the United States is already stockpiling a vaccine against H5N1 in case it spreads to humans and causes a pandemic.

The disappearance of insects is also making headlines. Norman Leppla, a professor of entomology at the University of Florida, said the state's stinkbug infestation has completely disappeared. These insects came en masse in the spring and fall, between May and September, with slight variation depending on whether you were in the north or south of the state. “It’s not subtle, they’re really not here this season,” he said in an interview published on October 5, 2023. But no one is blaming this on “bird flu.”

Wind farms also have devastating effects on birds, as German scientists demonstrated in a paper published in Nature on April 13, 2023. They found that red-throated loon populations collapsed in the North Sea after construction. of five groups of offshore wind farms between 2010 and 2014. Their populations decreased by an average of 94% within one kilometer of a wind farm and by 52% within 10 kilometers, with some population reduction at distances of up to 24 kilometers.

Wind farms also kill whales. At least 32 whales have been found dead on the US East Coast in recent months, prompting a group of New Jersey lawmakers to call for an immediate moratorium on offshore wind farms in the region.

Exclusive interview with Thierry Casasnovas: Justice or Cabal?

   

Who is Thierry Casasnovas really?

Is he the undisputed leader of a sect or is he a victim of his decision not to follow the path dictated by the laboratories and the Miviludes “Interministerial mission of vigilance and fight against sectarian abuses”?

In this new interview, Thierry Casasnovas opens up as he has never done before. He shares his journey since his youth, his fight against an illness that should have taken him away, his recovery, and the path he has traveled over the years until becoming today, under the pens of journalists, the “very controversial pope of raw foodism”. The question remains: Is it justice speaking or is it the cabal targeting him?

The 4-4-2 Media offers you the opportunity to form your own opinion.

The DPE is bogus

InsolentiaeBan on thermal strainers - The Mayor very favorable to the postponement

Insolentiae - Sep 30, 2023

“In the columns of “Parisien”, Bruno Le Maire, the Minister of Economy and Finance, said this Tuesday, September 26, 2023, “very favorable” to a postponement of the timetable for the ban on the rental of colanders thermal.

   

The next stage of this ban is due to take place in early 2025.

At the start of 2025, housing classified G in the energy performance diagnosis (DPE) will no longer be able to be rented. In any case, this is what the current texts provide.

Because Bruno Le Maire, the Minister of Economy and Finance, said this Tuesday, September 26, 2023, that he was “very favorable” to the postponement of this ban on the rental of thermal strainers, which already concerns certain very energy-intensive housing units (those consuming 450 kWh of final energy per square meter per year).

“I consider that everything that was decided before the rise in rates deserves to be looked at again in the light of this crisis,” he explains, in an interview with Le Parisien. “What was possible when money was available, becomes impossible with rates this high. We have to be very pragmatic and see if we can shift the calendars.”

Currently, this schedule provides that class F housing will be prohibited from renting on January 1, 2028 and that class E housing will be prohibited from renting in 2034. » (Source Ouest-France here)

We need to slow down the transition and return to common sense.

There are several parameters to take into consideration...
