If you damage your ground water resources, YOU CANNOT FIX IT

Is Australia heading down the path of the USA, Are we going to have another “GASLANDS” here

Quotes from Malcolm Turnbull in the video above

“We are talking about our most precious resource is water”. “We are the driest continent on Earth”. If you damage your ground water resources, if you contaminate aquifers, whether its by chemicals. whether its by allowing contaminated water from a coal seam to get into a fresh water aquifer, YOU CANNOT FIX IT. YOU CAN’T REHABILITATE IT.

More video of our Rainforest

Video: Craig Williams Cisco Flip Video via YouTube

I have included some more video of the Rainforest on our property, It’s a small snippet only.

Please allow a little indulgence as all I am trying to show is that it’s this sort of natural beauty that is being destroyed in many parts of the world where rainforest is not protected.

This type of rainforest is home to many birds and animals and needs to be protected.

Please relax for 2 and a half minutes and enjoy the footage. More footage to come in the future.

Our Waterfall

This is a waterfall in the rainforest on our property. I never get tired of walking to this spot and just sitting and watching the water flow over the rock face.

Kumi Naidoo, Head of Greenpeace leads from the front in daring Arctic action

Video: YouTube

Kumi Naidoo is the Global head of Greenpeace. He is shown in this video being hit with freezing water fired from water cannons as he tries to draw attention to the madness of drilling for oil in such an ecologically fragile area.

If you agree that this madness must stop please comment away.

The choice is obvious, it’s staring us all in the face, ACT on Climate change, The risks are too great to gamble with

Video: YouTube

As one of the comments states, humans are natural procrastinators! Please spread the word, get your local members of parliament to vote to do something real about managing global warming. We seriously need to implement real change to stop climate change.

The Size of the Universe

Video: YouTube

This is just another in a line of “We are not that big in the whole scheme of things”. I would’nt like to be an early explorer trying to circumnavigate some of these huge planets or stars.

Six Degrees Hotter, Our Planet just isn’t going to be the same

Video:YouTube

Just what will we experience here on Earth if the temperature rises by Six Degrees. Watch the video and you may get some idea.

Global Warming is happening. Places are drying up. Just to give an example that I have experienced, When I was a young kid I lived in Canberra, which is the capital city of Australia. We would regularly travel past a place called Lake George when visiting relatives who lived about 6 hours north of Canberra. My memory is that the Lake always semed to be full everytime we would pass it. For a number of years in the period around 1975 to 1983 this lake was regularly full or close to it. For the last 20 years or so that I have regularly travelled past the lake, it always seems to be dry or almost dry. Now this is just one example, however many people that I speak to have mentioned similar stories about more regular dry spells in the last 20 years or so, especially in Southern New South Wales in Australia.

You may have similar experiences from when you were younger, or you may disagree with me, either way I would like to hear from you through our comments.

The Sun is a little quiet lately

Apparently our own Sun has been a little quiet of late. With fewer sun spots and magnetic fields which are a little weaker than usual.

During this quiet period the Sun is displaying less intense solar flares, Sun spots and storms.

According to NASA scientists this is the quietest period of solar activity since 1913 and it is good news for us here on Earth. The less solar activity means better GPS navigation, Satellites stay in orbit longer and even the effects of Climate change are minimised, although only marginally with a 0.3 degree cooling at the most.

The Amazing Lyrebird mimicking a chainsaw, camera and music

Video: David Attenborough via YouTube.com

The Australian Lyrebird would have to be one of the most amazing animals on Earth. It can mimic virtually anything it hears. So don’t be fooled if you are in the bush and hear a pack of wild dogs coming toward you, it might just be a lyrebird, OR it may be a pack of dogs, who knows you had better get out of there anyway, just in case.

Disappearing World

Video: YouTube

This video gives us a small insight into some of the beautiful and the not so beautiful things in our world. I feel the same way as the creator of the video. On one hand I am sad when I see the destruction and total disregard for our Planet and on the other hand I am angry at the greed and callousness that causes the problems that we have in many parts of our wonderful World.

Big business leaders and politicians that contribute to the destruction of our habitats and environment need to stop their behaviour or be held accountable. Our planet can only take so much abuse. Those of us who care need to ensure that we act as protectors.

Blue hats cause climate change!

Video: YouTube

So there you have it, blue hats cause climate change, now what are we going to do about it?. Seriously, what is really scary is the number of people who still deny that climate change is real and who think that they can continue to keep their heads in the sand. Well I would like to challenge anyone and everyone to start conserving power, walk instead of drive where possible, spread the word to your friends and most of all let your local politicians know that you are not prepared to take inaction anymore. We must act and we must act now.

Why are we are destroying our planet ?

Video: YouTube

Our planet has a finite number of animals and plants. If we keep going the way we are, eventually there will be nothing left.

There is only so much oil, only so much coal, only so much uranium. And yet there is abundant sunlight (at least for another few billion years) and by that time we could have transferred us all to another solar system.

Why is it that Australia especially is not going all out to replace the fossil fuel power stations with Solar, Wind, Geothermal and Tidal/Wave power generation. MONEY, that’s why, big business are just too greedy.

Any politicians reading this please wake up and stop the senseless destruction of the only planet that we currently know we can exist on.

Any big business people reading this please take your oportunity to jump on the green bandwagon as that is where your future business will have to operate.

Any other people reading this post, please speak up and let your local member of parliament know how you feel and that you will not except anything other than total respect for our environment.
