Scientists identify 'more aggressive' coronavirus strain!!!



As scientists around the world work to better understand the COVID-19 disease, scientists in China believe they have discovered a mutation in coronavirus that is fuelling the global outbreak.
The deadly coronavirus has mutated into two strains, one of which appears to be far more aggressive.
That’s the preliminary findings from researchers at Peking University's School of Life Sciences and the Institute Pasteur of Shanghai in China, in a paper examining the “origin and continuing evolution” of what’s been officially dubbed SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2).

A Women's & Men's Land Army to stop anthropogenic global warming & climate change.

A Women's & Men's Land Army to stop anthropogenic global warming & climate change. Why not? We have done this before, so we can do it again. This time though we need to tackle anthropogenic global warming & climate change, so we need people to fast track solar to the grid & help people adjust to a new old society. We need to help farmers go back to using horse & human power instead of fossil fuel power. We could do this, our government could do this, so why is our government NOT doing this???

Could this become a Pandemic!!! Coronavirus


 130 people have died from it and over 6000 cases have been confirmed in 17 countries. Those numbers are climbing by the day. 
The World Health Organization (WHO) has just changed its ranking of the virus's global threat from 'moderate' to 'high'.

The Coming Pandemic, Only a Matter of Time!


Outbreak from Wuhan coronavirus rises to 440 in China, with 9 dead
Officials in China are racing to contain the outbreak of a new virus that has left at least nine people dead and sickened more than 440, after it was confirmed the infection can be passed between humans.
The spread of the respiratory virus to Thailand, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and now the United States, is fueling fears of a broader epidemic, as China enters its busiest travel period of the year.
Wuhan, the central Chinese city where the coronavirus was first detected, announced a series of new measures Tuesday, including the cancellation of upcoming Lunar New Year celebrations, which had been expected to attract hundreds of thousands of people.
With our modern fast transport systems, diseases can spread worldwide in hours!!!

Stopping Global Warming, avoiding a worldwide mass extinction of all life on earth!

Stopping Global Warming, avoiding a worldwide mass extinction of all life on earth!
So what is it these protesters want? They are asking the government to act on global warming climate change, to stabilise it, to stop it before it goes any further. But in order to do this, the government would have to shut down all coal powered electricity generators, they would have to stop the destruction ( burning, clearing, logging) of all native forests & woodlands, & they would have to ban the further use of all motor vehicles excepting those for essential services. Are the people really prepared for this? Do they really expect the government to do this?

If we do not stop burning fossil fuels completely NOW, & stop destroying our native forests & woodlands, then Australia is going to become uninhabitable, global warming will cause teotwawki, & after that quite possibly a mass extinction of humankind! Yes this will cause chaos in the cities, UNLESS, the government fast tracks solar power to the electricity grid; this can be done, we have the technology, we have the solar panels, & we have the massive battery storage facilities required.

But solar power is not a magic wand; solar power cannot stop global warming if we are going to continue to burn fossil fuels, if we are going to continue to use coal powered electricity, & if we continue to use combustion engine vehicles.
Society needs to change, & it needs to change now. We do not have enough time left for reductions, for cut backs, for promises of what we are going to do by the year 2021-2022-2023 etc etc. We have literally run out of time, we have left it too late to act. Ten years ago we could have started a progressive program to change our society, to change the way we work & live. Ten years ago we could have started working on solar & wind power for the grid. But this was not done. The government was totally focused on the economy, focused on keeping corporatism on side, focused on attracting votes, & the general public kept on demanding more & more. More jobs, higher wages, more housing, lower taxes, better health services; all of these wants & needs were totally justified, but amongst the clambering for a perceived higher standard of living, the majority of people forgot about the cost to our environment, they forgot that humans are just another species of animal that relies on the earth’s environment to keep us alive!

Humans have polluted the earth, contaminated the natural environment. We have built cities that shut out the natural environment & the people in those cities have lost contact with nature. Until these present bushfires filled these cities with smoke, they had completely forgotten about the world outside of their city. They have become totally dependent on modern technology, & if that technology should now come to an end through global warming, then society will collapse, & the people will die! It is as simple as that. You now have to choose between life or death. Life in a changed society that may not be to your liking, or life living a “Stone Age” lifestyle in a world that is coming to an end. More heat, more storms, more droughts & perhaps more floods. In some places more intense cold, because that is what climate change is doing, it is creating more extreme weather conditions worldwide.

Australia is going to become uninhabitable if we do not stop global warming NOW, & with global warming affecting the whole of our world, there may be no place for us to migrate to. Think about that, but don’t take too long, we are fast running out of time!

Climate Change Emergency is Real. Our very lives depend on us acting NOW!!!

This was Wychwood Forest some years ago, now it is dying. There is no longer any green grass & the wildlife is suffering. The trees are literally dieing from the heat & the lack of rain. On top of this we are now threatened by catastrophic bushfires. All this is caused by human made climate change. 

Long before the cattle industry, the world was populated with large numbers of ruminants, but the world seemed to have no issues with methane. American plains Africa and other continents had millions of buffalo, so how & when did the problem arise?
The world was a different place back then, large grassy plains managed by the indigenous peoples, huge wide spread forests, & healthy oceans. All these were producing oxygen & absorbing methane/Co2.
Then came the industrial revolution & the invasion of America & Australia. The industrial revolution marks the time steam engines were invented & coal was being burnt for energy. The invasions killed off many of the indigenous peoples & changed their lifestyles for ever. The grassy plains were no longer being managed to produce more green grass for the wildlife, now it was overrun by cattle & sheep. The forests were being logged for timber & destroyed & cleared to make more land for settlement & farming. The oceans lasted a little longer, but eventually humans also managed to pollute & contaminate with radio active waste, oil spills, garbage disposal, & single use plastics.
The herds of herbivores were mostly killed off & replaced with cattle & sheep in far greater numbers. The world was/is no longer green & the carbon dioxide levels rose & the oxygen levels in the oceans reduced. Now we have human made climate change, which is further destroying our forests through creating catastrophic conditions for bushfires. We have the internal combustion engine churning out Co2 into the atmosphere. We have coal burning electricity plants churning out more Co2 into our atmosphere. The planet is warming which is melting the ice & the permafrost. Melting ice has created black water which absorbs more heat. Melting permafrost is releasing more carbon into the atmosphere & releasing long buried pathogens & viruses.
Our world can no long keep up with the massive production of Co2 from livestock & other sources. The planet will survive when most, if not all humans have died due to climate change.
Keith.
The world's people, the Australian people, need to act now. If they do not take control of this human made climate change situation, then we may all quite possibly die in a mass extinction event!!! This is NOT paranoia, this is NOT sensationalising, this is NOT bullshit! This is REAL! If the people wait for someone else to fix this, they are going to find themselves trying to survive TEOTWAWKI, & after that possibly a mass extinction!
I have done all I can through popular media channels to warn the population about climate change global warming, apart from preparing my own home in the forest off grid to help my children & grandchildren survive, there is nothing else that I can do. You NEED to take control of your lives, you NEED to take control of climate change by stopping the burning of fossil fuels, & by stopping the logging & destruction of our native forests & woodlands. Your future & your children's future depends on it!!!

Climate change: Sea level rise to affect 'three times more people'



Millions more people will be at risk of coastal flooding from climate-driven sea-level rise later this century.
That's the conclusion of new research conducted by Climate Central, a US-based non-profit news organisation.
It finds that 190 million people will be living in areas that are projected to be below high-tide lines come 2100.

PLEASE Don't Ignore This Warning!!!

I realise that most of the people who follow me on this blog already know about the imminent threat from Global Warming, so I am preaching to the converted, but I am making this post on the off chance that others may check this out when they see it on popular media.

Right now nothing else really matters, not gun control, not water pollution, genocide in West Papua or anything else, because Global Warming is speeding up, & it will be an End Of The World event!!!
Not TEOTWAWKI, that implies a change in climate conditions that we can survive with a change of lifestyle, Global Warming will not be survivable!!! There is a strong probability that all life on earth will die, except maybe the cockroaches!

According to scientists around the world we have approximately 12 years in which to stabilise Climate Change, after that, we have past the tipping point & there will be no turning back!!!

No one can predict with any accuracy if it will in fact be 12 years or more, in fact it could be a lot less! Climate Change is moving faster all the time, as more ice melts, more C02 is released. China has closed some coal powered electricity generators, but it is constructing more & is still using coal! Australia is one of the major contributors to Global Warming, we have few people in Australia, but per person we are right up there with China!!!

If you think that this is all bullshit & that if Global Warming was real the government would be doing something about it, you are wrong!!!   The government & Corporatism are corrupt to the core, they are greedy & money & power hungry & they DO NOT give a damn about the common people's welfare! Yes they are going to die too, though they may have the money to extend their lives underground for longer than we can survive on the surface. But by the time the end comes, most of these money hungry mongrels will already be dead anyway, & they know this!!!

The only way in which Global Warming can be stabilised, & I mean stabilised, not stopped & not reversed, just slowed down & kept at present levels, is for a majority of people to take control of this situation!

For those people who still do not believe in Climate Change, look at it this way. If Climate Change is not happening, & we do all we can to stop it's progression, we will have at least made this world, this country, a better place to live in. We still have pollution & contamination to worry about, this is effecting the quality of our drinking water supply & the food we eat. It is effecting the very air we breath. So doing something about Global Warming is not a waste of time & money, we will be making this a better country to live in.

The spread of superbugs that are resistant to all known drug treatments.


Antimicrobial resistance is on the rise, and in the future, many infectious diseases will once again be untreatable, forcing more people into poverty and costing nations dearly, a World Bank-led study warned.
