Koalas ‘Functionally Extinct’ After Australia Bushfires Destroy 80% Of Their Habitat

 

this is heartbreaking…however it appears as though the people in the region are stepping in to help…

******

 

As Australia experiences record-breaking drought and bushfires, koala populations have dwindled along with their habitat, leaving them “functionally extinct.”

The chairman of the Australian Koala Foundation, Deborah Tabart, estimates that over 1,000 koalas have been killed from the fires and that 80 percent of their habitat has been destroyed.

Recent bushfires, along with prolonged drought and deforestation has led to koalas becoming “functionally extinct” according to experts.

Functional extinction is when a population becomes so limited that they no longer play a significant role in their ecosystem and the population becomes no longer viable. While some individuals could produce, the limited number of koalas makes the long-term viability of the species unlikely and highly susceptible to disease.

CHEETAH SEES PHOTOGRAPHER NAPPING UNDER A TREE AND DECIDES TO JOIN IN

 

Working with wildlife is both risky and rewarding. It can be a difficult job to capture the best pictures of these animals, as well as tiring. One man never expected this would happen when he decided to lie in the grass for a nap.

Dolph Volker is a volunteer at the Cheetah Experience in South Africa, where the population of these big cats are being preserved. They can be extremely shy creatures who don’t take very well to human interruption in their daily lives. But Dolph has been working for months to gain the confidence of these animals, and all of his hard work has paid off.

Amazon Fires – Conversation with Stan X of the Sphere Alliance….. and While Celebrities Pass Off Fake Pictures Of Burning Amazon, Here’s What The Raging Fires Actually Look Like

 

i have felt “off” about these fires – especially considering the celebrity attention on them – and given there are more fires going on in africa – see here and here.

the amazon rain-forest is something people are more emotionally invested in thus crying “the amazon is on fire!” is going to garner a lot of attention (and likely $LU$H funds for the elite crying to the public for help)….

And here’s another piece offering some different perspective than that of the MSM outlets:

While Celebrities Pass Off Fake Pictures Of Burning Amazon, Here’s What The Raging Fires Actually Look Like

The tens of thousands of fires burning in the Amazon right now have caught the attention of environmentalists, politicians and celebrities alike. Unfortunately, many of them have been spreading bad information in the form of decades-old pictures and incorrect facts, such as the claim that the Amazon is the “lungs of the world,” according to Forbes.

Singers and actors including Madonna and Jaden Smith shared photos on social media that were seen by tens of millions of people. “The lungs of the Earth are in flames,” said actor Leonardo DiCaprio. “The Amazon Rainforest produces more than 20% of the world’s oxygen,” tweeted soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo. “The Amazon rain forest — the lungs which produce 20% of our planet’s oxygen — is on fire,” tweeted French President Emanuel Macron. –Forbes

And while the fires raging in the Amazon are undoubtedly concerning, “the photos weren’t actually of the fires and many weren’t even of the Amazon,” according to Forbes.

The photo Ronaldo shared was taken in southern Brazil, far from the Amazon, in 2013. The photo that DiCaprio and Macron sharedis over 20 years oldThe photo Madonna and Smith shared is over 30. Some celebrities shared photos from Montana, India, and Sweden. –Forbes

“It’s bullshit,” said Dan Nepstad – one of the world’s leading experts on the Amazon forest. “There’s no science behind that. The Amazon produces a lot of oxygen but it uses the same amount of oxygen through respiration so it’s a wash.

Also debunked is a claim by CNN that the fires are burning at a record rate, as well as a claim by a leading climate reporter that “The current fires are without precedent in the past 20,000 years.”

According to Nepstad, the number of fires in 2019 is just 7% higher than average over the last 10 years.

So what do the fires actually look like?

Here are some current photos of the devastation by photographer Leonardo Carrato, via Bloomberg

The Amazon biome accounted for 52% of Brazil’s fire reports this year, with more than 40,000 outbreaks since January, according to data from INPE.

In August alone more than 26,000 fires were detected there. 

Conservation efforts had limited Amazon deforestation, but data from INPE show that trend broke in 2012. Tree losses soared 73 percent between 2012 and 2018, coinciding with a period of economic malaise.

New bill would allow farmers to sue Monsanto if GMO crops invade their property

 

This article was originally published by our friends at NaturalNews

Farmer’s in Oregon could finally get a win in their fight against companies like Monsanto. House Bill 2739 is under consideration and, if passed, it would allow farmers and landowners to sue biotech patent holders like Monsanto for essentially trespassing on their property.

House Bill 2739

The House Bill 2739 summary states that it “Allows cause of action against patent holder for genetically engineered organism present on land without permission of owner or lawful occupant.” Defenders of the bill believe it is a step in the right direction to remedy problems caused by GMOs.

Sandra Bishop of the Our Family Farms Coalition, which supports HB 2739, spoke to the East Oregonian website saying, “This is not a wild legal grab. We will not be compensated for our angst. We will only be compensated for provable legal damages.”

Sunstream was out today in Buffalo pulsing

Editor Victoria’s Comment ~ We saw this same effect in July 2017 only after the moments of pulsing the “sun” flashed as though it was going to explode before just as quickly becoming very dim.  Some say it’s codes coming in.  I say sun simulator malfunction…Who really knows?

TRUMP SIGNS THE WATER INFRASTRUCTURE ACT

 

The law authorizes billions of dollars for state-level projects aimed at improving the nation’s rivers, harbors, and drinking water.
President Donald Trump signed a bipartisan water infrastructure bill into law on Tuesday, authorizing billions of dollars for state-level projects aimed at improving the nation’s rivers, harbors, and drinking water. The law will also defund programs Congress deems “inefficient,” the Hill reports.

Provisions that made the cut include funding for studies on wetland restoration and risk management in flood-prone areas, such as Tangier Island, Virginia; extending a program to improve contaminated drinking water in Flint, Michigan; prioritizing lead testing in low-income schools; and requiring the Environmental Protection Agency to appoint at least one employee to serve as a “liaison to minority, tribal, and low-income communities.” Other projects will make more water available for agriculture, Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works ranking members John Barrasso (R-Wyoming) and Tom Carper (D-Delaware) wrote in USA Today.

In Florida, the legislation will help facilitate the building of a new reservoir designed to reduce toxic algal blooms that have killed wildlife in Lake Okeechobee—part of a growing environmental crisis that placed counties all along the Gulf Coast in a state of emergency this summer, WPTV reports.

Schrodinger’s Other Cat ~ Meterage, News & Tidbits for 10-18-18 [UPDATED]

Wow, seldom are the Northern Lights (these photographed in Svalbard on 10/14) so RED. Scientists have no idea why. What a shocker. Of course, we’re also unsure what causes scientists these days. Anyway…

METERAGE & NEWS

Looks like the “bridge/roadway completion project” is either done, or taking longer than anyone expected. Hard to say, as our eyes and ears both have peanut butter in them — chunky-style. We’re only getting things in dreams right now… well, save for one of the M’s who’s still operational… but for the most part our heads are full of jellied concrete and our ears are ringing peanut butter off the hook. Or something like that.

Eventwise, we know that various psychics and sensitives and writers have stated that they don’t see a big “Event” happening… but we still do. We always have, unless we’re misunderstanding what we’re being shown. Or we’re just lame.

Today’s Sky Captures

 

editor’s note:  this first one was taken by my mate (who climbed up onto the roof to take some shots).  check it out!  the cloud looks like an image of north america.  alaska, british columbia – western coastline – cali down into baja – then the blue sky to the right (east) resembles the gulf of mexico.  as he says, could be a mirror image projected back to us.  anyway i found it highly suspect, esp. given the alleged grid collapse……
