De
vele ‘ontembare’ bosbranden in Australië maken een rookpluim die zo
groot zou zijn als Europa, In Nieuw-Zeeland zijn ijs en
gletsjers voor een deel al zwart geblakerd van de roetuitstoot
overgewaaid uit Australië……
Ik
vrees dat deze branden de klimaatverandering wel eens sterk
kunnen versnellen, immers de branden zijn al bezig vanaf september en
zijn voorlopig niet te blussen. Als deze branden dergelijke grote
rookpluimen produceren is de kans groot dat zelfs de oogsten zullen
mislukken, eerst op het zuidelijk halfrond en wellicht de oogsten die daarna
volgen op het noordelijk halfrond……..
(Hier een video met satellietbeelden van Australie, beginnend op 18 december 2019 en eindigend op 4 januari dit jaar, let wel de zaak is sindsdien alleen maar verergerd en de laatste verwachtingen van deze dag zijn dat de zaak alleen maar verder uit de hand loopt, de temperaturen lopen weer op en vonkenregens kunnen tot 12 kilometer verderop neerslaan en daar de zaak in brand zetten…..)
Zoals al even over Nieuw-Zeeland gezegd en ook in het artikel hieronder aangegeven: sneeuw en ijs, op een groot deel van het zuidelijk halfrond, zullen waarschijnlijk tot op Antarctica deels zwart kleuren door neergeslagen roet, waardoor de zon niet langer wordt weerkaatst en als reactie gletsjers enz. nog sneller zullen smelten dan ze nu al doen….. Als gevolg daarvan zal de klimaatverandering verder worden aangejaagd, met de volgende reactie: de temperaturen op aarde zullen nog sneller stijgen en er zullen nog meer bosbranden ontstaan, enz. enz……. (dit zijn cumulatieve effecten)
Intussen
gaat Australië gewoon door met het op mammoetschaal exporteren van
steenkool en dat tegen afbraakprijzen, ook daardoor wordt de klimaatverandering verder aangejaagd…..
Heel wat mensen zijn intuusen overleden door de bosbranden, maar echt lijden doen de dieren die in deze bossen leven…… Moederdieren
laten massaal hun jongen achter daar er simpelweg geen eten meer is
en ze moeten vluchten om het vege lijf te redden……
Wordt
2020 het jaar dat het grote sterven pas echt begon..???*

Million Animals Killed as Australia Fires Create “Apocalyptic”
Smoke Plume Wider Than Europe
A
massive plume of smoke spanning roughly 2.1 million square miles has
begun drifting toward New Zealand.
(TMU) — As
Australia’s horrific bushfire crisis continues unabated, smoke
plumes believed to cover an area greater than that of Europe have
been created while glaciers in neighboring New Zealand have been
turned black by soot from the fires.
In the meantime,
nearly 500,000,000 animals have been killed while the human death
toll has climbed to at least 17. Experts have warned of a broader
humanitarian crisis looming over the country, fueling anger at the
government of Prime Minister Scott Morrison.
On Wednesday, experts
noted that a massive plume of smoke spanning roughly 2.1 million
square miles (5.5 million sq km) had begun drifting over the Pacific
Ocean toward New Zealand, which BBC
reports
has been blanketed in smoke and haze from the Australia fires in
recent days. The Guardian
reports
that vacationers have described the hazy skies in New Zealand as
“sepia,”
“orange” and
“apocalyptic.”
Antti Lipponen, a
research scientist at the Finnish Meteorological Institute, wrote in
a tweet
that the smoke plume is well over four times the size of Alaska, 14
times the size of Japan, and roughly equal to the distance between
Iceland and Turkey.

The smoke and soot
have even stained New Zealand’s iconic white glaciers, turning them
black and “caramelizing” the snow in a process that could further
endanger glaciers already threatened by climate change. Former New
Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark wrote in a tweet
that the impact of Australian ash on glaciers “is
likely to accelerate melting.”
Snow and ice usually
reflect the sun’s heat and slows melting while white. However, snow
blackened by ash and dust rapidly absorbs heat and therefore melts at
faster rates.

The environmental
calamity has been stoked by a combination of extreme winds,
record-shattering heat waves, and drought-parched forests,
grasslands, and brush. Australia’s bushfires have also grown so
monstrous that they are generating
their own weather in the form of pyro-cumulonimbus clouds—or
thunderstorms that create more fires—according to Victoria’s
Bureau of Meteorology.
Weather forecasts have
predicted continued withering hot conditions and fierce winds across
southern Australia on Friday as well as dangerous bushfire conditions
in eastern Victoria and New South Wales (NSW) on Saturday. Thousand
of firefighters, including huge numbers of volunteers, have been
fighting the over 100 fires in NSW and over 40 in Victoria.

The nightmarish nature
of the crisis took a new form over the weekend as 4,000
people in the coastal town of Mallacoota, Victoria, fled to the
shore and even into the water as the blaze threatened to consume
their homes.
Tourist Kai Kirschbaum
told ABC
Australia:
“I
think that was our biggest threat in terms of what are we doing with
the children if we need to go in the water to protect ourselves given
the fact that they are only 1, 3 and 5.
If you’re
a good swimmer it doesn’t really matter if you have to be in the
water for a longer time, but doing that with three kids that would
have been, I think, a nightmare.”
In the meantime,
ecologists are fearing a tremendous tragedy for wildlife as nearly
500 million mammals, reptiles and birds—including 8,000
koalas—are estimated to have been killed. The massive loss of life
threatens to forever tip the balance for entire species of animals
and plants.
Over 300 baby flying
foxes were abandoned by their mothers who were trying to survive by
any means, according to experts.
Australia’s bushland is home to a range of indigenous fauna such as kangaroos, koalas, wallabies and possums. Authorities have no exact figure on how many native animals have been killed in the bushfires but experts say it is likely to be in the millions https://reut.rs/2F7gnWB
Wildlife rescuer Jenny
Packwood told
the Sydney
Morning Herald:
“Mothers
are abandoning babies at two weeks after birth because there is no
food for them. Last week we had 300 come in, and we’ve been flat
out feeding since then.
I’ve
never seen anything like this before—we’re calling it a
starvation event.”
Species like bats also
face the threat of local extinction from the massive obliteration of
small creatures such as insects in wildfire-impacted regions,
thre Independent
reported.
Koala Crisis wrote
on Facebook:
“Not
one carer KC has spoken to has seen bees, insects, grubs, worms,
snails, beetles, millipedes, for months. Nothing struggles through
the dustbowls which are now covering millions of hectares in all
states.
There’s
no grass for the ’roos, no insects for the birds, the leaves on
eucalypts are brittle, ensuring starvation for koalas, gliders,
possums, birds, insects.”
The bushfires
devastating Australia have been raging since September, laying waste
to wildlife and
private property alike. Experts are fearing that a humanitarian
crisis is imminent as the country faces the worst fire season in
recorded history with three more months of the summer season left.
Along with the fires,
arid conditions due to a prolonged drought have wrought devastation
on the livelihoods of farmers and local economies.
The Australian
government, headed by Prime Minister Scott Morrison, has been accused
of denying the realities of climate change despite its belated verbal
acknowledgment that changing climate conditions have played a role in
the crisis. The government has been accused of obstructing global
summits on climate change and skirting its obligations under the 2015
Paris accord while doing little to curtail the country’s role as
the world’s number one exporter of coal and liquefied natural gas.
Australians’ anger
toward the prime minister—who has derisively been nicknamed “ScoMo”
or “Scummo”—was abundantly clear Thursday when he was forced to
scrap a meet-and-greet with locals in a fire-scourged NSW town. As
the beleaguered prime minister attempted to reassure residents,
locals showered abuse on him.
The
Guardian
quoted
residents cursing Morrison as “an
idiot,” telling
him that he’s “not
welcome” and
should “piss
off” and
not expect any future votes.
@1bbradfo
Scott Morrison forcing this woman to shake his hand, then ignoring her and walking away when she tells him she doesn’t want a handshake unless he gives more funding to the RFS, is fucking disgusting – even by his low standards. #bushfiresAustralia #auspol

Zojuist hoor ik op WDR dat men in Duitsland in ski gebieden waar geen sneew ligt een groot aantal sneeuwkanonnen heeft ingezet, echter zonder resultaat, nu voeren een groot aantal vrachtwagens sneeuw aan van elders…… Leve de klimaatverandering…… De mens is knettergek!
* Een Duitse
universiteit becijferde dat het niet lang zal duren voordat 90% van
de insecten is uitgestorven en wat doet de politiek, zoals de EU?
Juist, landbouwgif dat verantwoordelijk is voor de grote
insectensterfte nog langer toestaan en waar sommig van het kankerverwekkend gif als glyfosaat over een paar
jaar niet meer mag worden gebruikt, worden de volgende kankerstoffen
alweer goedgekeurd door hetzelfde geteisem in Brussel, zelfs met hulp van
GroenLinks grofgraaier Bas Eickhout……..
