Polar Bears Starving, Turning to Cannibalism

Posted by Marcia Divack on September 23, 2008 at 10:59pm

By Marsha WaltonCNN(CNN) -- Summer is over in the northern hemisphere, but it's been another chilling season for researchers who study Arctic sea ice.Disappearance of Arctic ice cover may affect storm systems, storm tracks and crops, according to researchers.1 of 2 "It's definitely a bad report. We did pick up little bit from last year, but this is over 30 percent below what used to be normal," said Walt Meier, a research scientist with the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colorado.This past summer, the Arctic sea ice dwindled to its second lowest level. Arctic sea ice is usually 1 to 3 meters, or as much as 9 feet thick. It grows during autumn and winter and shrinks in the spring and summer.Scientists have monitored sea ice conditions for about 50 years with the help of satellites. Changes in the past decade have been alarming to climate researchers and oceanographers."It is the second lowest on record. ... If anything, it is reinforcing the long-term trend. We are still losing the ice cover at a rate of 10 percent per decade now, and that is quite an increase from five years ago," Meier said. "We are still heading toward an ice cover that is going to melt completely in the summertime in the Arctic."Arctic ice helps regulate and temper the climate in many other parts of the world. The less ice there is, the more dramatic the impact. Huge sheets of ice reflect solar radiation, keeping our planet cool. When that ice melts, huge expanses of darker, open ocean water absorb the heat instead, warming things up.Although few humans live in the Arctic, the disappearance of this ice cover can have effects far beyond the few residents and the wildlife of this harsh region. Ice cover loss can influence winds and precipitation on other continents, possibly leading to less rain in the western United States and creating more in Europe.So, just how much ice is disappearing?Less than 30 years ago, there would still be 7 million square kilometers or 2.5 million square miles of ice left at the end of an Arctic summer. That's now dropped by almost 40 percent. See how much Arctic sea ice has disappeared »"Seven million square kilometers roughly corresponds to an area of the lower 48 United States. So back in the early 1980s, the lower 48 states would be covered in sea ice in the summer," Meier said. "Now we've essentially lost sea ice east of the Mississippi River and even beyond. So that's a significant amount of area."The best known consequence of disappearing sea ice in the Arctic is the loss of the polar bear habitat."The Arctic sea ice melt is a disaster for the polar bears," according to Kassie Siegel, staff attorney for the Center for Biological Diversity. "They are dependent on the Arctic sea ice for all of their essential behaviors, and as the ice melts and global warming transforms the Arctic, polar bears are starving, drowning, even resorting to cannibalism because they don't have access to their usual food sources."Scientists have noticed increasing reports of starving Arctic polar bears attacking and feeding on one another in recent years. In one documented 2004 incident in northern Alaska, a male bear broke into a female's den and killed her.In May, the U.S. Department of Interior listed the polar bear as a "threatened" species under the Endangered Species Act. In a news release, U.S. Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne stated, "loss of sea ice threatens and will likely continue to threaten polar bear habitat. This loss of habitat puts polar bears at risk of becoming endangered in the foreseeable future, the standard established by the ESA for designating a threatened species."What is the future for Arctic sea ice? Some scientists believe that in just five years, the Arctic may be ice-free during the summer."The Arctic is kind of the early warning system of the climate," Meier said. "It is the canary in the coal mine, and the canary is definitely in trouble."

This lady makes me fuckin' twitch!! - ...and my friend Iliade sent me this: article - so I'm sharing it...And here's another ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT piece.... article2THIS IS YOUR NATION ON WHITE PRIVILEGESeptember 13, 2008By Tim WiseFor those who still can’t grasp the concept of white privilege, or who are constantly looking for some easy-to-understand examples of it, perhaps this list will help.White privilege is when you can get pregnant at seventeen like Bristol Palin and everyone is quick to insist that your life and that of your family is a personal matter, and that no one has a right to judge you or your parents, because “every family has challenges,” even as black and Latino families with similar “challenges” are regularly typified as irresponsible, pathological and arbiters of social decay.White privilege is when you can call yourself a “fuckin’ redneck,” like Bristol Palin’s boyfriend does, and talk about how if anyone messes with you, you'll “kick their fuckin' ass,” and talk about how you like to “shoot shit” for fun, and still be viewed as a responsible, all-American boy (and a great son-in-law to be) rather than a thug.White privilege is when you can attend four different colleges in six years like Sarah Palin did (one of which you basically failed out of, then returned to after making up some coursework at a community college), and no one questions your intelligence or commitment to achievement, whereas a person of color who did this would be viewed as unfit for college, and probably someone who only got in in the first place because of affirmative action.........--> Continue on"WHEN ATHEISTS ATTCK" by Sam HarrisLet me confess that I was genuinely unnerved by Sarah Palin's performance at the Republican convention. Given her audience and the needs of the moment, I believe Governor Palin's speech was the most effective political communication I have ever witnessed. Here, finally, was a performer who—being maternal, wounded, righteous and sexy—could stride past the frontal cortex of every American and plant a three-inch heel directly on that limbic circuit that ceaselessly intones "God and country." If anyone could make Christian theocracy smell like apple pie, Sarah Palin could. continue reading

Tribute to Pink-Floyd's Rick Wright who died last week.

Posted by URNotMYfellowDJ on September 21, 2008 at 9:00pm

It's Wright's Dissonant Piano Tones that add the hallmark atmosphere to 'Echoes'. I saw this performed live.Plus fact: In 'Us & Them' from Dark Side, "For want of the price of Tea and a Slice the old man died", refers to the death of Roger Water's Father on a WWII battlefield in a firefight after he ran out of bullets, which cost that much to produce.Also this insight into Wright's personal role within the Pink Floyd over their lifetime.

Grizzly Bears on the Rebound

Posted by Marcia Divack on September 17, 2008 at 11:30pm

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The majestic grizzly bear, once king of the Western wilderness but threatened with extinction for a third of a century, has roared back in Montana.The finding, from a $4.8 million, five-year study of grizzly bear DNA criticized by Republican presidential candidate John McCain as pork barrel spending, could help ease restrictions on oil and gas drilling, logging and other development.Researchers with the U.S. Geological Survey announced Tuesday that there are approximately 765 bears in northwestern Montana. That's the largest population of grizzly bears documented there in more than 30 years, and a sign that the species could be at long last rebounding.The first-ever scientific census shattered earlier estimates that said there were at least 250-350 bears roaming the area. More recent data placed the minimum population at around 563 bears."There has never been any baseline information on population size," said Katherine Kendall, the lead researcher, who said the results speak for themselves. "There has been huge investments of time and money to recover (the grizzly bear) but they don't know whether their actions have been successful."McCain, in stump speeches and in an advertisement earlier this year, erroneously said the study cost $3 million, adding "I don't know if it was a paternity issue or criminal, but it was a waste of money."The study was backed by Montana ranchers, farmers and Republican leaders as a step toward taking the species off the endangered species list. Since 1975, the bear has been threatened in the lower 48 states, a status that bars hunting and restricts any kind of development that could diminish the bear's population."If it is going to remove it from the list, it is money well spent," said former Montana Gov. Judy Martz, a Republican, McCain supporter, and backer of the research. When asked about McCain's stance, Martz said "unless you live among these issues it is pretty hard to understand what is going on."Former Sen. Conrad Burns, the chairman of McCain's campaign in Montana, helped secure the funding. It was paid in part through add-ons to the U.S. Geological Survey budget, and a $1.1 million earmark for the Forest Service in 2004.The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which is in charge of regulating endangered species, is currently reviewing the bears' status in Montana as part of a five-year review required by the Endangered Species Act. The study's results will help biologists determine whether the bear still needs federal protection, a conclusion due out early next year.Chris Servheen, the Grizzly Bear Recovery Coordinator for the service said the study "was an investment in the recovery of an icon of the American West, which is the grizzly bear.""All the things people have been doing are making a difference," he said of the findings. "This gives us some feedback that the bears are doing really well."The second paragraph concerns me. I find it astounding that after all the years of work to restore the bears and ensure their well-being, we'll rush right out and set about destroying their habitat all over again. It is both very sad and extremely ludicrous.

Posted by Rachel on September 15, 2008 at 3:53pm

Les enceintes grésillent sur Four Tet - Unspoken, un son suave, pour s'éveiller.Le nez dans le café fumant, le regard perdu dans les profondeurs des vibrations du café, je rêve à un tas de choses.Je rêve, je respire, je rêve, ~~je meurs~~.Un coeur bien trop fragile, quelques morceaux dispersés, un gros bout de coeur dans la tête, en danger. Le coeur de paille. Une chaleur étouffante, des rayons nocifs, et puis, une chaleur réconfortante parfois. Le soleil de plomb.Pas vraiment besoin de faire un dessin.La fumée de cigarette s'évapore de ma bouche, et je crois me débarasser naïvement d'un flux important d'émotion.Envolée de tabac, effacer toutes ces petites voix. Après tout, pourquoi pas ?Le bonheur éphémère laisse alors place à la mélancolie, la douloureuse, celle qui fait couler les larmes bien trop vite et si facilement.

my mind works at a slow pace

Posted by sll on September 15, 2008 at 4:00am

I realize how slow and how abstract my thoughts are. But that doesn't mean that they are unimportant or less worthy than well-reasoned intellect. Just because I have these vague thoughts, that everything in my eyes is just a different shade of color, I am not less creative. Because this is what defines me, the ambiguous, the floating air. I am this empty, sure, but I am filled with emptiness. Do you understand?Let me explain. I am my living emotions, and my background is white. I think in colors and have a limited fourth grade vocabulary. I don't believe in this physical reality. Life is happening to me and I'm not letting it, thus indirectly defending the opposing side of apathetic death. But there are more gaps to this opposition, more sides to see. I am air.

There exists an incomplete owl,making a nest,living in my fucked up consciousness,And its telling me:stop playing cat and mouse.this is not life or how its supposed to be."but I'm that fragile,simply an old soul out to dry," I sigh.but it keeps telling me:stop picking bones, stop pissing stones,start erasing the messes you're drowning in"I have a purpose down here. Though.""Something is pulling my pinky. Though.""There has to be beauty in the deep."but the owl keeps repeating:stop playing cat and mouse.start erasing the messes you're covered in"But there has to be beauty in the deep.""Though. Though. Though. Though.""I can see the edge of the universe, here in the deep.""And sure enough, a force will take me,like that of wind, like that of ocean waves,like that of sand and stone, green blue and grey.""It's drawing me in, like a tornado, and I'm dust.With it, I can shrivel into irregular rust.""This is though. This is though.""There is a life down here, in the deep.Its hidden beneath all this darkness,so let me sleep, let me sleep."and the owl starts to disappear,whispering into my ear:you've gone off the edge of sanityyou've erased yourself completely.you're suffering for your suffering.But I close my eyes and get back to my dream,lost between the sounds and sights of the deep, of the deep.
