STOP CENSORING THE REAL NEWS
WordPress is HACKING this blog!
WordPress continues to hack FIRE-EARTH & affiliated blogs at the behest of its corporate clients.
Blog Moderators condemn in the strongest terms the blatant removal and manipulation of content.
Starting January 29, 2013, Google & WordPress have restricted access to FIRE-EARTH reducing blog traffic by up to 95 percent, enabling their affiliated sites and commercial partners to hijack (and twist) the news, analysis and core ideas presented here.
Blocking information, hacking websites and twisting the facts concerning harm inflicted to Earth by humans are major crimes against nature, punishable by drought, famine, disease...
Caution
Technical information and scientific data from the US Government agencies (NASA, EPA…) are subject to variation due to political expediency.
This caution also extends to the UN organizations (e.g., FAO, WHO…).
As of August 2011, FIRE-EARTH will no longer reprint photos from NASA, due to the agency's wanton crimes against nature.

GLOBAL CONFLICTS FOR NATURAL RESOURCES & ‘STRATEGIC ADVANTAGE’ STATE TERRORISM MASS MURDER
HUMANITARIAN CATASTROPHE SCENARIOS 909, 444, 222, 219, 200, 069, 04, 02 .
The number of people killed in eastern Ukraine has doubled since July 31 to 2,086, according to the UN estimates, said to be “very conservative.”
“This corresponds to a clear escalating trend,” UN human rights spokeswoman told Reuters.
In addition to the 2,086 killed, about 5,000 others have been wounded.
The figures comprise civilians, self-defense forces and Ukrainian military. However, those are “very conservative estimates,” said the spokeswoman.
N early a million people have abandoned their homes, including 730,000 people that have fled across the border into Russia, and at least 110,000 others who have been internally displaced in the conflict, according to reports.
South Sudan is weeks away from worst famine in recent African history: UN
Unless comprehensive action is taken to address hunger in South Sudan before the planting season ends in May, the country faces one of the worst famines in African history, UN agencies have said.
“If we miss the planting season, there will be a catastrophic decline in food security,” said Toby Lanzer, the Deputy Special Representative to the Secretary-General for the UN Mission in South Sudan. “What will strike that country, and it will hit about seven million people, will be more grave than anything that continent has seen since the mid-1980s.”
Based on the UN assessment, the crucial planting season in South Sudan will end in less than 5 weeks.
South Sudan: 7 Million at Risk of Hunger and Disease

At least 1 Million people have been forced from their homes due to the ongoing conflict in South Sudan, said the UN
More than quarter of million people have taken refuge in neighboring countries and at least 800,000 have been displaced internally.
Fighting erupted between the troops loyal to Salva Kiir, the president of South Sudan and and his deputy, Riek Machar, in December 2013.
Despite a ceasefire agreement in January, fighting has continued.
Food security
The conflict has caused “a serious deterioration in the food security situation” leaving around 3.7 million people at high risk,” said the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
“Fighting between government and opposition forces has continued, especially in Jonglei, Unity and Upper Nile state, where towns and rural areas have been ravaged by the violence.”
Nearly 5 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance, however “the remote and dispersed placement sites make it difficult to reach many of South Sudan’s conflict-affected people,” says the UN.
A large number of South Sudanese war refugees have crossed the border Ethiopia since fighting erupted in December. Many others have fled to Kenya, Sudan and Uganda, while the internally displaced have sought shelter in UN bases, according to reports.
Inter-community clashes in the Central African Republic (CAR) has left at least 600 dead and about 160,000 others displaced, with continuous reports of killings and looting, according to the U.N.
“The number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) continuous to increase as violence persists. There are now over 160,000 IDPs in Bangui gathered in over 40 sites, with the highest concentration in churches, religious sites and the Bangui international airport.”
The following information release in September 2013 illustrates the severity of the situation in CAR
4.6 million Central Africans—the country’s entire population—are affected by the crisis
1.6 million are in “dire need of assistance.”
206,000 people have been internally displaced, many of them living in the bush with little or no access to humanitarian assistance. 100,000 of them are children.
60,000 have sought refuge in neighbouring countries, mostly the Democratic Republic of Congo.
11,252 refugees live in three camps in CAR, to which aid workers have very limited access.
650,000 or more children are unable to attend school.
484,000 people (10.5% of the population) are severely food insecure.
3,500 children have been recruited into armed groups
3,652 military and civilian personnel will make up the African-led International Support Mission in CAR, drawn largely from multinational forces already on the ground under different authorities.

Fighting between armed factions leaves 80 dead, many injured in Central African Republic (CAR)
Renewed fighting follows a U.N. warning that the landlocked central African country was on the brink of collapse.
The latest clashes occurred near Bossangoa about 300 km north of the capital Bangui between fighters loyal to former President Francois Bozize and the ex-rebels who ousted him, reports said.

The former rebels who are now in power have been accused by residents, United Nations officials and non-governmental organizations of a wave of killings and abuses, said a report.
“Houses were burnt, people were burnt alive including children, women and old people who had nothing to do with the fighting. It is really disgusting,” said an observer.
CAR is facing a major and multifaceted humanitarian and security crisis exacerbated by a coup d’etat in March 2013, said IRIN.
Human rights abuses such as “arbitrary arrests and detention, sexual violence against women and children, torture, rape, targeted killings, recruitment of child soldiers and attacks”, are becoming ever more common, according to a recent report to the UN Security Council.

Exile inevitable for America’s first climate refugees: Report
The impact of climate change is more intense in the far north, where temperatures are warming faster than the global average, causing rapid thawing of the sea ice, melting the permafrost and forcing residents of remote Alaskan areas out of their villages, said a report.
Some 184 Alaskan villages, or 86% of all native communities, are at risk because of climate change.
It cost $100 to $400 million just to relocate one village [See full report.]
ALASKA NATIVE VILLAGES: Most Are Affected by Flooding and Erosion, but Few Qualify for Federal Assistance—GAO
Approximately 6,600 miles of Alaska’s coastline and many of the low-lying areas along the state’s rivers are subject to severe flooding and erosion. Most of Alaska’s Native villages are located on the coast or on riverbanks.

Permafrost (permanently frozen subsoil) is found over approximately 80 percent of Alaska. It is deepest and most extensive on the Arctic Coastal Plain and decreases in depth, eventually becoming discontinuous further south. In northern Alaska, where the permafrost is virtually everywhere, most buildings are elevated to minimize the amount of heat transferred to the ground to avoid melting the permafrost. In northern barrier island communities, the permafrost literally helps hold the island together. However, rising temperatures in recent years have led to widespread thawing of the permafrost, causing serious damage. As permafrost melts, buildings and runways sink, bulk fuel tank areas are threatened, and slumping and erosion of land ensue. —GAO.
