Pollution deaths:new techniques unmask Oil criminals.

BarbaraMaherweb — Professor Barbara Maher from the Lancaster Environment Centre, Catherine Moore from the University of East Anglia and Dr Juergen Matzka from the Danish Meteorological Institute analysed roadside tree leaves from a dual carriageway with 30,000 vehicles a day. They found that concentrations of lead and iron particles were highest at the height of a small child – 0.3m, posing some health risk at any level of exposure, particularly with regard to brain and kidney damage, hearing impairment and cognitive development in children.

Cheap tests on leaf traces can now show exact local pollution levels, and can prove the the exact source and composition of the invisible toxic chemical cocktail of NOx and SOx we live in.

Soon victims and their families will be able to take Court cases against polluting industries and the oil and vehicle industries.

In the UK about 40,000 people p.a. die as ‘extra deaths’ caused by air pollution, and the WHO gives a figure of 2,400,000 deaths a year world wide.

All these and the countless ill and disabled are due compensation from the greedy capitalists who use this technology KNOWING FULL WELL THAT POLLUTION FREE ALTERNATIVES EXIST (See below).

A team led by Dr Barbara Maher at Lancaster University have developed and proven a technique which measures pollution levels precisely by Continue reading “Pollution deaths:new techniques unmask Oil criminals.”

Save/Salvar Tipnis. Highway to Ethnocide and Ecocide

Various big demonstrations have taken place in support and unfortunately against the Indigenous marchers against the new highway, now under construction and backed by Evo Morales and his Govt. The new road will destroy the lives and culture of various indigenous nations,, as well as opening the Isiboro National Park and environs to rapid destruction, trashing a world renowned center of diversity, ‘the most beautiful jungle in the world’. The battle is not yet lost, however, and all support is welcome.

Marcha Masiva en Cochabamba

Con una primera marcha que recorrió las principales calles de la ciudad, la denominada Coordinadora de Defensa del Territorio Indígena del Parque Isiboro Sécure (Tipnis) expresó su apoyo público a los pueblos indígenas de las tierras bajas que marchan rumbo a La Paz desde el pasado 15 de agosto.

Disfrazados de animales salvajes y portando pancartas con consignas contrarias a la construcción de la carretera y de apoyo a la marcha indígena, la Coordinadora de grupos de voluntarios estudiantes de secundaria y universitarios, maestros urbanos, organizaciones vecinales, gente de a pie y agrupaciones de defensa del medioambiente, se concentró en la plaza principal para demandar respeto al parque, según comentó Juan Carlos Antezana, fundador de la Comunidad Inti Wara Yasi.

DEL OTRO LADO

Del otro lado, el denominado Comité Impulsor Interinstitucional, confirmó para este sábado, a las 10:00, a la altura del viaducto, kilómetro 3,5 de la avenida Blanco Galindo, una “concentración multitudinaria” de organizaciones e instituciones representativas de Cochabamba, en respaldo a la construcción del tramo II de la carretera Villa Tunari-San Ignacio de Moxos.

Obama allows poison air massacre for Big Oil

If the 1-in-6 African-American kids with asthma could just hold their breath until 2013, they should be fine.

In his latest attack on the environment, President Barack Obama today announced that he is directing the EPA to withdraw standardsthat would have cut smog pollution from automobiles, power plants, and refineries. Obama might want to consider that wheezing kids, no jobs, and caving to Big Oil do not a reelection make.

The standards Obama blocked could have saved up to 120,000 lives by 2020, and slashed tens of thousands of children’s asthma attacks and other respiratory problems. The environmental justice organization Green for All summed it up when it tweeted (referring to Obama’s delaying action on ozone until at least 2013, when he may be out of office):

More broadly, by blocking the smog standards, Obama is jettisoning one of the few remaining major job creation programs he can create without Congress. Notwithstanding oil industry propaganda, the EPA’s analysis shows that the smog rules would have created a whopping $17 billion in economic benefits — everything from health care savings from avoided asthma attacks to job creation in American-made pollution controls.

US opinion rejecting Climate deniers?

phpThumb_generated_thumbnail — 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.
