Our Oceans are Under Attack

Lake Karachay | WIKIPEDIA

By the way, myark, the photo you included appears to be Phantom Ship Island, in Crater Lake Nat'l Park, Oregon, not Lake Karachay.


Phantom Ship Island




Lake Karachay in Russia is considered the most polluted spot on Earth. The lake was used as a dumping site for Soviet radioactive waste for decades.

Lake Karachay, Chelyabinsk, Russia: These days the lake is mostly covered with concrete. In 1990 standing on its shore for more than an hour would be lethal


Irradiated: The ruins left by an explosion of nuclear waste storage tanks at the Mayak nuclear facility in 1957

Is this the most polluted place on Earth? The Russian lake where an hour on the beach would kill you

Reducing Red Meat Consumption Key To Keeping Greenhouse Gas Emissions Manageable | RED ORBIT

 

Is there nothing AGW fans won't control?
They favor depriving us of our money, our liberty, and all choices, even what we'd like to eat.
I'm tempted to ask, "How many squares of toilet paper can I use to clean myself?"

I rather live on a scorched planet than allow these X$P&Y&#'s to take over and run things THEIR way!

"There are people who strictly deprive themselves of each and ever eatable, drinkable and smokable which has in any way acquired a shady reputation. They pay this price for health. And health is all they get for it. How strange it is. It is like paying out your whole fortune for a cow that has gone dry.
- Mark Twain's Autobiography"

I agree we should cut down on beef, substitute a different red meat. Also, you can help reduce political tensions while helping preserve the country.
Invite AGW folks over for dinner. (Can we have an animated salivating smiley please? This Bared Teeth emote get's confused with smiling!)

Death in the Meat

Research has shown that all meat eaters have worms and a high incidence of parasites in their intestines. This is hardly surprising given the fact that dead flesh (cadaver) is a favorite target for microorganisms of all sorts. A 1996 study by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) showed that nearly 80 percent of ground beef is contaminated with disease-causing microbes.
The primary source of these bugs is feces. A study conducted by the University of Arizona found there are more fecal bacteria in the average kitchen sink than in the average toilet bowl.
This would make eating your food on the toilet seat safer than eating it in the kitchen.

The livestock industry is now consuming nearly four-fifths of the antibiotics used in the U.S., and its appetite for them is growing.
Feeding antibiotics to animals, besides the obvious harm these drugs can cause to humans who consume tainted meat, is the rapid emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Continued overuse of antibiotics for many decades has led to the inception of "super" bacteria strains, or "superbugs," that no longer respond to antibiotic treatment,

 

Complete, utter and absolute codswallop. I've walked on the Monte Bello Islands where the British tested atomic weapons back in the 1950's and I believe Kwajalein Atoll is partially open for recreational diving these days too.

Then there's Hiroshima & Nagasaki. Thriving cities.

I would not camping on that island

 

If the full sized version had been detonated over the city of Ontario in Southern California the zone of total destruction would have been 100 miles in diameter, as indicated by the yellow circle in the following image:
Los Angeles and all of it's surrounding cities would have been wiped from the face of the earth, killing fifteen million people in the blink of an eye.

 

New Zealand use a huge amount of nutrient. If you go back 30 years, cow numbers were less than half per hectare on average what they are now because we bring in a whole lot of feed. We're the biggest importer of palm kernel. We've had an 800 per cent increase in the past 20 years in nitrogen use.
The cows make milk out of that but that extra number of cows pee out a huge amount of nitrogen. Because they pee in such a small area and in such a large volume, only 20 per cent of it is taken up by the grass; the rest of it goes down into groundwater or streams. The nutrients themselves are not toxic until they get to high levels, but at low levels they grow heaps of algae which takes oxygen out of the water.
How polluted are our lakes and rivers?
Forty-four per cent of our lakes are eutrophic or worse. They've flipped from their natural state, because they can't handle the amount of nutrient coming in.
Eighty-four per cent of those lakes are in lowland pastoral catchment and most of the nutrients coming out of lowland pastoral areas are from dairy.
Most of our lowland rivers are still below the Yangtze river in China and the Mississippi in the US, famous for its nutrient pollution.
We're about a third of those on average but creeping up all the time.
And there's a lag time.
Movement in the nitrogen through the soils can take between a year or 100 years, so a lot of what we're seeing is only the front end of what we've been doing.

Blood, liver, heart, tongue, kidney and all other animal organs and their flesh have the same structure and functions as human body parts.
To not understand this very, very simple fact shows how human greed can conquer their minds to justify gruesome behaviours that are identical to cannibalism.

“I have from an early age abjured the use of meat, and the time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men.”
― Leonardo da Vinci

 

You fail to understand me completely.
I have eaten MANY strange things in many parts of the world. If you want to form relationships with people, learn their language and eat their food with them.
Among the exotic dishes I've tried, is monkey cooked various ways. Tastes like very fine pork.
South sea islander cannibals called manflesh "long pig".

My Sioux ancestors called cannibals "holy" (Manitou) since God must have great plans for someone, inspiring them to live via such repugnant means.
Huron Amerinds were cannibals by choice. Liked it.
I won't starve. The world is FULL of game!
Seriously!
Where do I mail the dinner invitation? Don't worry, you won't be asked to eat meat. You ARE the entrée. LOL

 

So you think its funny ?
