Burial of Nuke Waste in Cumbria

21-08-2010 15:30 | Analysis | Energy Crisis | Social Struggles | World

A West Cumbrian Councillor has proposed that Allerdale should withdraw from the dodgy process designed to force Cumbria into "geological disposal" of nuclear waste.
The new government like the last is desperate to have been seen to have solved the problem of nuclear waste - to pave the way for new nuclear build.

Waders tie down Shell testing rig in Mayo, Republic of Ireland

10 people from the Rossport solidarity camp delayed Shell’s survey work for the dangerous and experimental Corrib gas pipeline yesterday. The campaigners waded out to one of the rigs drilling boreholes in the Sruwaddacon estuarythe rig at high tide, fixed rope around the legs of the rig, and occupied the space underneath it to prevent the being moved to a new site. Work was delayed for around two hours.

UG#508 - Truth & Lies of The Financial "Crisis" (Peak Oil and Peak Ponzi)

18-07-2010 12:10 | Energy Crisis | Social Struggles | Sheffield | World

The show this week looks at the financial crisis from two angles. Most of it is given over to a talk by Nicole Foss about the implications for expansionary debt-based money of hitting the planet's ecological limits. We conclude with a reading of Michael Hudson's 2009 article, The Language of Looting, which explains how the term "free market" is now used to mean the opposite of its historical meaning.

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."

Warning over Nuclear Industry Freshwater Use

10-07-2010 09:52 | Analysis | Climate Chaos | Energy Crisis | World

While Cumbrians face the prospect of £1000 fine for using a hosepipe during
the drought - Sellafield uses the equivalent of Millom, Barrow and
Ulverston's fresh water put together every day. Over 4 million gallons
are abstracted daily from Wastwater, Britain's favourite view, in order to prevent the high level liquid wastes from boiling.

BP, Government Blocking Press from Reporting Their "Ballet at Sea"

06-07-2010 05:56 | Energy Crisis | Ocean Defence | World

"As high tourist season approaches, there will be people who 'come on down to Alabama' regardless of the oil spill. A delicate balance between preparation for the worst and the pleasure of tourists is in the making."

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.

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.

Further evidence of criminal negligence by BP and US government in Gulf disaster

22-06-2010 21:43 | Energy Crisis | World

Evidence of the criminal negligence of BP and the US government in the run-up to the April 20 Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion continues to mount. BP’s decision to ignore important safety warnings for the sake of profit and repeated regulatory green lights from the Bush and Obama administrations made a disaster like that presently overtaking the Gulf of Mexico all but inevitable.

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.
