650+ Scientists Urge Stop to Burning Trees for Energy

More than 650 scientists have signed a letter to world leaders asking them to stop burning trees to make energy as the 15th Meeting of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD CoP15) begins this week.

While scientists have rallied to highlight the detrimental impacts of biomass energy in the past, they’ve typically focused on its horrific climate impacts. Indeed, bioenergy worsens climate change, emitting as much CO2 at the smokestack as coal.

650+ Scientists Urge Stop to Burning Trees for Energy

The Natural Resources Defense Council works to safeguard the earth - its people, its plants and animals, and the natural systems on which all life depends.

Ecology shows repeatedly that systems cannot be altered one element at a time without system-wide effects. It also shows us that we are elements of the environment - not outside of it, or above it - we are natural. Any definition of nature that denies this is profoundly wrong. As parts of the environment we can be forces of enrichment or degradation. What we cannot do is avoid having any impact whatsoever. Dams, especially older dams, degrade environments. We need to use other low-zero emission energy production methods. Even pumped hydro would be a better alternative. These dam demolitions are a very good thing.

US regulators approved a major milestone Thursday in a plan to demolish four dams on a California river and open up hundreds of miles of salmon habitat that would be the largest dam removal and river restoration project in the world when it goes forward.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission vote on the lower Klamath River dams is the last major regulatory hurdle and the biggest milestone for a $500 million demolition proposal championed by Native American tribes and environmentalists for years.

The project would return the lower half of California’s second-largest river to a free-flowing state for the first time in more than a century.

Native tribes that rely on the Klamath River and its salmon for their way of life have been a driving force behind bringing the dams down.

ANNOUNCEMENT

I regret to announce the discontinuance of 'Food for Thought'

Unfortunately, as some of you already know, I’m currently suffering severe liver cancer, and although undergoing chemotherapy, it is unlikely that I shall live for more than another four-five months. Obviously I need to use the time I have left in other ways.

Could it be that the more accommodating our #environment is, the more we lose the ability to take care of ourselves? Could there be importance in the latrine communication of European rabbits that shifts along a rural-to-urban gradient? Can that express the upcoming shift of humanity into The Great Reset?

"The unbelievable power of nature; how stress guides animals and plants", puts forward the notion that the concept that we call "Stress" is not the evil villain we have been made to believe, instead is an integral part of life, often poorly represented and misunderstood.

Madlen Ziege is an active Biologist since 2009. Her last name "Ziege" in German translates to "Goat" in English; perhaps she was pre-determined to be a Biologist.

She has worked and studied in #Germany, #France, #Mexico, #Canada, #Japan and #Tasmania. Specializing in the #behaviour of #animals and #ecology of #plants, Madlen created the "urban to rural gradient", She has written 2 books and has authored over 30 scientific publications.

The original reason she wanted to become a Biologist was to learn to connect to nature and reality. Madlen now realizes that the scholastic approach to #biology often severs that connection and creates generations of numb scientists disconnected from reality, who are more than glad to work for big pharma and harm life in the process.

She now even questions while being on the board of directors for an organization that aims to protect wildlife against the ill effects of GMOs and #pollution, if environmentalism is nothing more than an extension of scholastically trained narcissism.

Completing her PhD in 2016, Madlen suffered massive #health issues. She suffered from Hormonal imbalances, hair-loss, anxiety, depression and eating disorders. The unfortunate reality is how common these health symptoms are amongst post-Docs!

Internationalists from many countries around the world are fighting in defence of the #Rojava #revolution or helping to build it. One of them is Heval Agit (Jozef Krol), an internationalist from #Poland. Agit is 33 years old and joined the ranks of #YPG -International in 2018. He told the daily ÖzgĂŒr Politika that he was confronted with the Kurdish #freedom struggle for the first time during the #war for #KobanĂȘ. Then, when Afrin was attacked, he said, he decided to take part in the defence of the region." The war crimes committed by the Turkish #state and the silence of the world public opinion about it are unbearable," Agit said in view of the occupation of #Afrin and criticised the support of the invasion by the #EU, #Russia and the #UN through their approval and silence.
