Dead Fish Cover 60-mile Stretch of Louisiana’s Pearl River

“This is really sickening”

“Black liquor” spilled by paper mill killed “every breathing organism” including hundreds of thousands of fish

Disaster Calendar 2011 – August 22 Entry

• Louisiana, USA. Hundreds of thousands of fish, “including federally protected Gulf sturgeon as well as catfish and flounder,” were killed after a large spill of a high concentration of waste material from paper mill in Bogalusa, Louisiana, into the Pearl River sucked the oxygen from the water,  a report said.
• “This is really sickening,” said St. Tammany Parish President Kevin Davis, who put the number of dead fish at “hundreds of thousands.”
• Ontario, Canada. A deadly tornado tore through the town of Goderich, a port town of 8,000 on Lake Huron, about 250 km west of Toronto, killing at least one person, injuring dozens more and destroying or damaging hundreds of building, reports said.
• According to Environment Canada, the town was buffeted by winds of up to 280 km per hour (174mph), an EF4 tornado on the Enhanced Fujita Tornado Scale.
• According to the town’s official website, Goderich is now in a state of emergency.

WARNING: Global Disasters – June 21, 2011

***PLEASE DISTRIBUTE WIDELY***  

WARNING: About 20 percent of the global population could perish by 2016

FIRE-EARTH’s population model shows mass die-offs resulting from human impact on the planet and the planetary response to the anthropogenic harm  could occur by early 2016.

• RANDOM. The mass die-offs would occur randomly.

• UNSTOPPABLE. Once triggered, the chain-reaction created by the dynamics of mass die offs would burst out of control.

On May 15, 2011 symbolic countdown to the ‘worst day’ in human history began...

FIRE-EARTH Climate Models show climate change forcings and feedbacks switching global weather patterns onto “primordial tracks.”

The extreme weather events triggered by anthropogenic climate change have a four-prong impact on humans over the next 50 months. FIRE-EARTH models forecast:

Food production:

• Average decline of 22% in the global agricultural output
• Loss of topsoil and worsening of soil quality
• Increases in the size and occurrence of dead zones
• Large decline in marine food sources

Spread of Disease

• Substantial increases in the spread of diseases
• vector borne
• Air borne
• water borne
• food borne
• Increase in the spread of human immunodeficiency
• Significant decline in air quality (and corresponding increase in chronic respiratory diseases)
• Worsening of water pollution

Physical Safety

Major increases in the number of deaths and injuries, as well as large scale displacements due to the loss of shelter and livelihood caused by extreme weather and geophysical events including:

• Tornadoes
• Hurricanes
• Storms and Extreme Weather
• Flash Flooding
• Drought and Deluge
• Extremes of Temperature
• Wildfires
• Loss of “Seasons”
• Earthquakes*
• Tsunamis*
• Volcanic activity*

The Combined Effect

Social upheaval, regional conflicts and wars caused by mass migrations and scarcity of basic resources resulting from the combined effects of the above.

The Eight Steps that Help Kill More of Our Fish

How Your Car’s Exhaust Emissions Helps Create Dead Zones and Kill Our Fish

Step One: You fill up the tank (gasoline is a processed fossil fuel product).

–
Step Two: As you drive around, your car burns the fossil fuel and produces greenhouse gases and other harmful pollutants, which are spewed out through the exhaust pipe.

–
Step three: Sunlight interacts with greenhouse gases emitted from your car, producing ground-level ozone.

Only about 12.6 percent of the gas your car consumes is used for driving!

–
Step Four: High ozone levels damage crops such as corn, wheat, and soybeans, reducing growth rates and crop yields, as well as making the crops less resistant to insects and pests. (In 1995, ground-level ozone caused $2.7 billion in crop damage nationwide, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.) Current estimates for the crop damages caused by ground-level ozone stand at about $3 billion each year in the US alone.

Step Five: To increase growth rates, boost crop yields and fight pests, farmer use increasingly larger amounts of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

Step Six: Nutrient-rich chemical runoffs (pollution) from agricultural fields are washed by rain into streams, storm sewers and rivers and end up into our oceans, seas and other water bodies.

Summer rains wash nutrients, dissolved organic matter and sediment out of the mouths of rivers, into the sea, sparking large phytoplankton blooms. South America presents two excellent examples of river outlets where phytoplankton tends to thrive. Along the northern part of the continent the mouth of the Orinoco River opens into the Caribbean. Along the Eastern side of South America, the mighty Amazon exits its thousand mile journey. (Text NASA)
–

Step Seven: Dead Zones that cover tens of thousands of square kilometers of waterways are created by pollution-fed algae, which deprive fish and other marine life of oxygen.

Step Eight: Deprived of oxygen, fish and other marine life die.

Dead fish are seen on a basket of a fish farm off a coast of Menidi village in the Amvrakikos Gulf, some 350Km northeast of Athens February 28, 2008. Local marine biologist Vangelis Dimitriou said that up to 800 tonnes of fish including sea bass and sea bream died from a lack of oxygen [hypoxia], after swimming through a large pocket of water where the temperatures suddenly dropped at a drastic rate.

But it doesn’t have to be that way!
