Doomsday: How BP Gulf disaster may have triggered a 'world-killing' event

15-07-2010 13:06 | Climate Chaos | Ecology | Energy Crisis | World

"The warning signs of an impending planetary catastrophe—of such great magnitude that the human mind has difficulty grasping it-would be the appearance of large fissures or rifts splitting open the ocean floor, a rise in the elevation of the seabed, and the massive venting of methane and other gases into the surrounding water.  Such occurrences can lead to the rupture of the methane bubble containment—it can then permit the methane to breach the subterranean depths and undergo an explosive decompression as it catapults into the Gulf waters. [6]  All three warning signs are documented to be occurring in the Gulf."

No Free Press for BP Oil Disaster

11-07-2010 16:39 | Analysis | Ecology | Social Struggles | World

"Last week's new media restrictions imposed by the Coast Guard subject journalists and photographers to as much as a 40,000-dollar fine, and from one to five years in jail as a class-D felon if they violate the 20-metre rule, that Unified Command calls a "safety zone."

"There have also been restrictions placed on the airspace above areas where clean-up and containment operations are occurring. The Federal Aviation Administration has placed restrictions prohibiting media flights below 900 metres over oil-affected areas."

Overwhelmed by Oil and Toxic Pollutants: The Destruction of an Entire Coastline

"Fifty dolphin have so far, been reported found dead. Experts estimate only one tenth of species which die will be washed up. The full toll of big oil's "collateral damage", now, previously and in the future, will likely never be known."

After the oil rush: BP news

Doubt rises that BP relief wells won't work. Beyond oil, is transition to a clean economy - if we don't crash first. Dr. Kessler just back from the Gulf talks methane. Will the BP spill damage the climate, as much as the oceans? Alex wraps up the big picture - including record heat, extreme floods, record Arctic ice melt, & the dying economy.

The anguish of the age: Emotional reactions to collapse

We live amidst multiple crises -- economic and political, cultural and ecological -- that pose a significant threat to human life as we understand it.

There is no way to be awake to the depth of these crises without an emotional reaction. There is no way to be aware of the pain caused by these systemic failures without some experience of dread, depression, distress.

To be fully alive today is to live with anguish, not for one’s own condition in the world but for the condition of the world, for a world that is in collapse.

Eye witness: Sea Shepherd frees 800 endangered bluefin tuna

29-06-2010 13:51 | Animal Liberation | Ecology | Ocean Defence | World

This is an eyewitness account from an action by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, which set out onto the Mediterranean Sea last month in search of bluefin tuna poachers. As one of the most valuable fish in the world, the bluefin populations in the Mediterranean region have been reduced by over 85% in the last 50 years due to relentless industrial overfishing. Crew member Wietse van der Werf reports.

BP Hires CIA General Counsel Stanley Sporkin As Lobbyist

Poster's note:
Stanley Sporkin was General Counsel for the CIA 5 years under William Casey during
the Iran Contra years. This is the same CIA which with MI6 responded to Iran's
sovereign right to nationalize oil by overthrowing her elected government in 1953-4 and
installing the torturing Shah of Iran and BP. Next Sporkin, like
several other CIA employees, was moved DIRECTLY into federal
judgeships through Orrin Hatch, Mormon Republican from Utah,
then head of the Judiciary Committee.

Shell due to start work next week

Things are getting very busy here - after a peaceful June Gathering the camp is once more set to become a focal point for resisting Shell pipeline work. Shell are due in the estuary any day now to drill 80 boreholes - pipeline survey work that should take all summer. Yesterday we shut down the Shell office in Belmullet. Today Maura Harrington was jailed for non payment of fines. Niall and Pat are still in jail. Generally it seems that lots of people are wising up to the oil industry in the wake of the BP disaster in the Gulf of Mexico....

DANGER DEEP IN THE GULF

While crackpot radio warns millions will die - I interview experts. Dr. Joye just returned from the Gulf measuring plumes. Hirshfield just testified to Congress. Mencimer writes: Tea Party fears Gulf spill leads to FEMA camps.

Oil Is Not The Worst Part of British Petroleum's Gulf Gusher!

It is bad enough that British Petroleum (BP) doesn't want to attempt to use high explosives drilled deep down into the bed rock beside the pipe to bend it closed. It is incredibly psychotically cynical of BP to collect 15 to 20 thousand barrels of oil a day from the well head and sell that oil into the market at $77 barrel as a means to save the company from bankruptcy while 90 percent of the rest of the oil and gas from the well head leak into gulf waters.

Gulf species face unprecedented disaster

22-06-2010 21:46 | Ecology | Energy Crisis | World

The ultimate ecological impact of the oil spill on wildlife in the Gulf of Mexico is unknown, and will likely remain so for years to come. Still, two months into the worst oil spill in US history, indications are that the ecological impact will be nothing less than disastrous.

On the 17th of May, the action group Round Up Monsanto successfully shut down the main Monsanto plant in the Netherlands, formally De Ruiter Seeds. Forty activists blocked the entrance gates at the wake of day and prevented personnel from entering the office buildings and greenhouses.
Thiery Boyer, head of Monsanto's European vegetable division, contacted his superiors and decided not to press charges. As a result the police did not interfere.

HEAT STROKE: When Heat Kills

Scientists predict more deadly heat waves. Now they have found the upper limit our bodies tolerate - and we'll get there without stopping our emissions. The "skeptical scientist", John Cook, and Stuart Staniford, the technical investigator, talk it through. From Chicago to Europe's deadly 2003 heat wave to cooking our grandkids.
