North pole webcams fall over as ice melts

Live from the North Pole!

The Arctic lost sea ice very rapidly in the first half of July. Ice loss slowed in late July-early August, but resumed again later in August. Web cam 1 has tipped but not fallen over completely, as you can see in the images.

Web cam 2 fell over on July 23 in the melted snow and ice, and now views only the sky.

Watch the rapid melt in the YouTube video.

Arctic sea ice is at the crossroads
National Snow and Ice Data CenterAugust 22, 2011

The National Snow and Ice Data Center reports that the average Arctic sea ice extent for July 2011 was the lowest for July in the satellite data record. Ice loss slowed in late July-early August, but Arctic sea ice continues to become thinner and is now declining at a brisk pace.

Further Arctic sea ice loss during the last month of the summer ice-melt season will depend mostly on weather patterns.

With 21 contributors, the August Arctic Sea Ice Outlook projects a September 2011 pan-arctic sea extent median value of 4.6 million square kilometers, below all values seen prior to 2007.

Vengeful hurricane Irene attacks rich, spares Haiti.

Hurricane Irene attacks the rich

 Vengeful Irene attacks US East Coast

After destroying the 64m$ Mansion on the private island of  Climate Criminal Sir Richard Branson, the ‘green’ owner of Virgin Airlines responsible for pumping billions of tons of CO2 into our atmosphere, hurricane IRENE dipped north to save the hundreds of thousands of still destitute tent and shack dwellers of Haiti, and headed for the USA, home of Climate Denier Syndrome and planet wasting corporations.

The U.S. National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration is predicting that hurricane Irene is going to strafe pretty much every inch of the most densely populated part of America, i.e. the East Coast.

So if you live anywhere from the Carolinas to Boston, is it time to panic? It would be, if panicking actually helped!

US opinion rejecting Climate deniers?

climate deniers losing ground

This week, sure feels like the tipping point on public opinion on climate, and so I’m going to stick a fork in it right here, folks. Climate opinion just tipped. Why do I say that? In the last week:

Australia, with huge coal reserves — but rapidly passing the Arctic as ground zero for climate impacts with epic fires, droughts, floods, hurricanes, and dust storms — passed a carbon credit law, with a tax coming up next.

Canada rolled out regulations that will likely phase out coal by mid-century.

Michael Mann’s “hockey stick” research was once and for all vindicated.

Prominent Republicans like Jon Hunstman and Chris Christie agree that climate science is real, and there’s even pressure within the GOP to not become the anti-science party. In fact, when Rick Perry denied climate science, he wasn’t just censured by some Republicans, he was instantly and vigorously debunked by the Washington Post.

The press is finally doing its job by calling deniers like Rick Perry out on their climate claims

Amazing Amazon river dolphin

Pink, blue or albino, the Amazon river dolphin is the most distinctive of the five river dolphins. It has a ridge along its back rather than a dorsal fin and its fat, heavy body is surprisingly flexible. Paddle-like flippers which move in a circular motion provide exceptional manoeuvrability, making up for a lack of speed. The Amazon and Orinoco river basins provide all the food in its highly diverse diet, including at least 40 different species of fish. It relies on echolocation to find prey in the muddy waters. Males can reach two and a half metres in length, making them the largest of the river dolphins. This is unusual as in the other four species, the females are the larger sex. Amazon river dolphins have few natural predators, but caimans, anacondas and jaguars have been known to take them.

Scientific name: Inia geoffrensis

Etnocidio en “La selva más hermosa del mundo”

COMUNIDADES INDÍGENAS en la zona COLONIZADA del TIPNIS… No hace falta leer en la historia la crueldad de la colonización.

En pleno siglo XXI, observamos el
ETNOCIDIO cruelmente socapado
por autoridades del Gobierno.

¿Qué consecuencias tuvo la
colonización cocalera en el TIPNIS?
Adolfo Moye: Hemos visto que muchas comunidades terminaron rodeadas por colonos, como por ejemplo la comunidad de Santísima Trinidad donde yo vivo junto a 140 familias indígenas mezcladas con algunos colonos; hemos quedado al centro de la zona colonizada y rodeados por cocaleros. En la comunidad de Limo los hermanos del pueblo moxeño yuracaré ahora tienen apenas una hectárea y trabajan como empleados de los colonos. Sus hijos han tenido que migrar a las ciudades capitales para buscar empleo queriendo adoptar otra forma de vida; en muchos pueblos sólo quedan los viejitos. Algunas comunidades como Puerto Patiño e Isiborito se extinguieron y no sabemos a dónde se fueron esos hermanos.

Derechos Humanos pide respetar la marcha indígena y convoca a la pacificación..Fuente: Erbol, Tarija

La presidenta de la Asamblea Permanente de los Derechos Humanos de Bolivia (APDHB), Yolanda Herrera, demandó a los habitantes de San Ignacio de Moxos del departamento de Beni y otras poblaciones del país a respetar la marcha de los indígenas que se oponen a la construcción de la carretera por el parque nacional.

La marcha de más de un millar de indígenas de 34 pueblos indígenas del oriente boliviano, respaldado por el consejo Nacional de Markas y Ayllus del Qullasuyu y otras, recorrió al menos 90 kilómetros desde la ciudad de Trinidad hasta el municipio de San Ignacio de Moxos, donde algunos grupos adversarios anunciaron bloquearlos.

“Les pido que respetemos la demanda y la expresión de los hermanos y hermanas de los pueblos indígenas de tierras bajas que están realizando la marcha (en defensa del Territorio Indígena Parque Nacional Isiboro Sécure) porque la violencia sólo genera la violencia y empobrece a nuestro país”, afirmó.

La representante nacional de los Derechos Humanos, en declaraciones a radio Aclo Tarija de Erbol, argumentó que la marcha del pueblo indígena integrada por los niños, mujeres, varones y ancianos se manifiestan pacíficamente ante Bolivia sus demandas del respeto a su forma de vida, costumbres y su territorio.

Sin embargo, reiteró la convocatoria al presidente del Estado, Evo Morales, para que vaya hasta la marcha y establezca el diálogo porque son escenarios favorables para solucionar este conflicto sino más adelante podría haber otros escenarios por las circunstancias sociales que van generándose.

Campaña en Defensa del TIPNIS

Denunciamos ante Bolivia y el Mundo que el gobierno boliviano está transgrediendo la Constitución Política del Estado, el Convenio 69 de la OIT, la Ley del Medio Ambiente, el Reglamento de Áreas Protegidas y otras leyes bolivianas y compromisos internacionales y pretende construir de una manera ILEGAL COMPROBADA una carretera sobre el TIPNIS lo cual ocasionaría la mayor destrucción ecológica en la historia de Bolivia. Esto ocasionaría un ATENTADO a la vida y cultura de los pueblos moxeños, yurakarés y chimanés que habitan en él. Asimismo, se condenaría a la EXTINCIÓN de fauna y flora ÚNICAS en el mundo. Por otra parte, se afectaría de una manera irreparable la naciente de ríos fundamentales, lagos y belleza escénica. Solicitamos al presidente Evo Morales que sea consecuente con su discurso en defensa de la Madre Tierra.

¿Acaso este es el aporte de Evo Morales a la destrucción de la Amazonía boliviana?
