The environment does not wait

The authorities can claim what they want but environmental disasters are ultimately caused by their fault as well

The US authorities together with the British Petroleum Company informed the general public that "most of the oil that flowed into the Gulf of Mexico broke up or evaporated and disappeared (?) in various ways..."

Not exact ! A team of scientists from Georgia claim that the authorities and society interpret the data with a bias in their favor... simply lying! Because about 80% of the oil that flowed is in the Gulf. Most of it is under the surface of the water and the part that has sunk pollutes the bottom of the bay.

This is how it will be done to the polluter that the king no longer wishes to visit

China is the number one polluter in the world, after catching up with the USA. In order to lower the level of pollution, the authorities require all industrial establishments to become more efficient and reduce emissions.

Recently, the "shelter" was lowered for 500 factories that do not meet the emissions requirements, metal, cement and other factories were shut down. The Chinese Minister of Industry stopped the flow of electricity to the polluting factories for a month and only after they see the canalization will they be able to receive electricity and resume production.

The power cut will also allow compliance with the high requirements due to the heat wave that is sweeping the country. When we consider the situation with us... Who will take down the "shield" for the electricity company?

Trans Serengeti Road

Despite the vigorous opposition of green bodies all over the world, despite the opinion of international experts - zoologists and ecologists, despite the opposition of nature conservation bodies in East Africa in general and Tanzania in particular, the President of Tanzania decided to allow the construction of a highway that would cross the Serengeti, the reserve described as "the concentration The largest in the world of mammals", the reserve to which all possible crowns have been tied will be crossed by a highway, today when in the reserve there are only dirt roads more than 200 animals are trampled every year.

The road that is supposed to connect the provincial town of Arusha with Lake Victoria will cross the northern Serengeti in an area that constitutes the seasonal migration route of about one and a half million wildebeests, joined by about two hundred thousand zebras and thousands more deer. It must be assumed that the seasonal migration will not stop, therefore the question that arises is: how many accidents will they cause, how many zebras, wildebeests, deer and others will pay with their lives to shorten the connection between the centers by fifty kilometers? Today, thousands of visitors make a lot of money in the Serengeti every year and provide a livelihood for the residents in the area, will the tourists continue to come to see animal carcasses?

The floods in Pakistan

The causes of floods in Pakistan began to emerge already at the beginning of the 20th century - when the British dammed rivers, drained swamps and developed the vast agricultural areas in swamps and shallow lakes, areas that would absorb flood water.

Global warming causes extreme weather phenomena - torrential rains and the melting of the Himalayan glaciers. Rain events and glacial melting cause strong flows that before the "development" would drain into swamps and lakes, but today are led through narrow channels that are blocked by drift. The result... floods!

  1. Sometimes there is good in bad.
    You should calculate the fuel and pollution that will be saved by shortening the road.

  2. There is an idea how to solve the problem of a highway crossing the Serengeti, to allow motorcycles and scooters to move on this road and to prohibit the movement of vehicles with 4 wheels and more.
