Cataluña ha entrado en “quiebra hídrica” por la sequía. Y ya sabe cuánto le va a costar: 2.400 millones de euros

  dethefreeonline1 de Ferero 2024por Stigmatis

Para 202 municipios de la región de Barcelona y Girona empieza el verano más largo que se recuerda.

Por Javier Jiménez Piscinas vacías, campos de fútbol sin regar, mucha agua reciclada y grifos con presión reducida. La mañana del 1 de febrero más de seis millones de personas se van a levantar en “emergencia por sequía”.

La Cataluña interior, en quiebra hídrica. A nivel hídrico, Cataluña son dos mundos distintos. Buena parte de ella (y muy especialmente amplias regiones de Lleida y Tarragona) se nutren del Ebro.

Un Ebro que, pese a los problemas de los últimos años, sigue siendo el río más caudaloso del país. Por poner un ejemplo, el pantano aragonés de Menquineza, aguas arriba, está al 80% de capacidad.

Han reaparecido una iglesia y pueblos que se quedaron abajo del agua al hacer el pantano.

El otro mundo son las cuencas interiores, lo que se conoce como sistema Ter-Llobregat. .

Los pantanos que abastecen al área de Barcelona y Girona están al 16,3% de su capacidad.

Esta semana, sin ir más lejos, los embalses del sistema acaban de cruzar el umbral de alerta y tienen, en total, menos de 99,89 hectómetros cúbicos acumulados.

Pero las soluciones que hay encima de la mesa son temporales, limitadas y logísiticamente complejas. El ejemplo más evidente es el plan de la Generalitat para llevar cientos de miles de litros de agua desde Tarragona y Marsella al área metropolitana de Barcelona: es un parche en un sistema que ha dejado de funcionar.

Parches, parches y más parches. Tras 39 meses consecutivos de sequía meteorológica y más de dos años de temperaturas récords, la situación es crítica y no solo por la falta de agua, también por falta de infraestructuras.

“Empezar a pensar cen cómo reciclar cada gota — indefinidamente”. Lo reconocía el propio David Mascort, el consejero de Acción Climática, Alimentación y Agenda rural: “los barcos no van a resolver el problema de la sequía, solo son una solución para proveer agua a infraestructuras críticas en casos extremos”.

Y es que en un contexto en el que el Mediterráneo se calienta un 20% más rápido que la media mundial y la sequía se ha vuelto estructural, se necesitan un plan de enorme envergadura para asegurar que el Ter-Llobregat y sus seis millones de habitantes puede sobrevivir a la falta de lluvia.

Y eso vale dinero. 2.400 millones de euros según los planes de la Generalitat en los próximos tres años para conseguir que, de aquí al final de la década, lo que no cae del cielo pueda suplirse a base de reservas subterráneas, agua reciclada y desalinización.

No es un reto fácil. Y todas las propuestas piden ladrillo, cemento, despilfarro, beneficios para el elite, y más agresiónes contre el medio ambiente, el clima y el territorio.

Para dimensionarlo, basta con tener en cuenta que Barcelona ya cuenta con una de las plantas de desalinización más grandes del país. Una con capacidad para producir 53 piscinas olímpicas de agua potable al día (la mitad de las necesidades diarias de la ciudad).  

Pues bien, el Govern catalán tendrá que ampliar otra de sus plantas y construir una tercera. Y pese a todo, no será suficiente.

Un mundo nuevo para el que no estamos preparados. Han sido diez años sorprendentemente duros para el sistema hídrico de todo el país: cada año es peor que el anterior y eso está provocando daños enormes en nuestra economíaen nuestra salud y en nuestra sociedad.

Pero lo peor no es eso, lo peor es que muchos administraciones aún no ven el problema…………

Scientists Call for Global Moratorium on mRNA Vaccines, Immediate Removal From Childhood Schedule

fromthefreeonline on 1st Feb 2024By Brenda Baletti, Ph.D. at The Defender

We’re fighting the Covid censors – The Spectator World

Governments should endorse a global moratorium on mRNA vaccines until all questions about their safety have been thoroughly investigated, according to the authors of a new, peer-reviewed article on the COVID-19 vaccine trials and the global vaccination campaign published last week in Cureus, Journal of Medical Science.

Cureus is a web-based peer-reviewed open-access general medical journal using prepublication peer review.

The authors surveyed published research on the pharmaceutical companies’ vaccine trials and related adverse events. They also called for the COVID-19 vaccines to be removed immediately from the childhood immunization schedule.

After the first reports from vaccine trials claimed they were 95% effective in preventing COVID-19, serious problems with method, execution and reporting in the trials became public, which the paper reviewed in detail.

Evidence also shows the products never underwent adequate safety and toxicological testing, and since the vaccine rollout, researchers have identified a significant number of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs).

Jessica Rose, Ph.D., is a vaccine adverse event reporting system (VAERS) analyst and computational biologist

Authors M. Nathaniel Mead, Stephanie Seneff, Ph.D., Russ Wolfinger, Ph.D., Jessica Rose, Ph.D., Kris Denhaerynck, Ph.D., Steve Kirsch and Dr. Peter McCullough detailed the vaccines’ potential serious harms to humans, vaccine control and processing issues, the mechanisms behind AEs, the immunological reasons for vaccine inefficacy and the mortality data from the registrational trials.

They concluded, “Federal agency approval of the COVID-19 mRNA injectable products on a blanket-coverage population-wide basis had no support from an honest assessment of all relevant registrational data and commensurate consideration of risks versus benefits.”

They also called for the vaccines to be immediately removed from the childhood immunization schedule and for the suspension of the boosters.

“It is unethical and unconscionable to administer an experimental vaccine to a child who has a near-zero risk of dying from COVID-19 (IFR, 0.0003%) but a well-established 2.2% risk of permanent heart damage based on the best prospective data available,” they wrote.

Finally, the authors called for a full investigation into misconduct by the pharmaceutical companies and the regulatory agencies.

It is the first peer-reviewed study to call for a moratorium on the COVID-19 mRNA products, Rose told The Defender.

“Once a proper assessment of the safety and efficacy claims was made herein — upon which the emergency use authorization (EUA)’s and ultimate final authorizations were granted — it was found that the COVID-19 injectable products were neither safe nor effective,” she added.According to McCollough, “mRNA should never have been authorized for human use.”

Lead author Mead told The Defender, “Our view is that any risk-benefit analysis must consider how much the presumed benefit in terms of reduced COVID-19 related mortality is offset by the potential increase in vaccine-induced mortality.”

Here are six takeaways from the review:

1. The COVID-19 ‘vaccines’ are reclassified gene therapies that were rushed through the regulatory process in a historically unprecedented manner

Before the seven-month authorization process for the mRNA vaccines, no vaccine had ever gone to market without undergoing testing of at least four years, with typical timelines averaging 10 years.

To speed the process, the companies skipped preclinical studies of potential toxicity from multiple doses and cut the typical 6-12 month observation period for identifying longer-term adverse effects and the established 10-15-year period for monitoring for long-term effects such as cancer and autoimmune disorders, the authors wrote.

WWD 2024: Both Wetlands & Human Beings Remain Neglected

While the theme for World Wetlands Day (WWD) 2024 is Wetlands and Human beings, this compilation of top ten wetlands (other than Ramsar Wetlands) reports reveals that on ground most of the wetlands and dependent people in India continue to be subject of degradation and neglect primarily due to absence of holistic restoration plans and clearly defined wetlands governance.
