Fwd: Fukushima Anniversary: How Climate Change Endangers Nuclear Safety

Hi!

Watching how Fukushima was unexpectedly devastated was a sobering experience last year as was the destruction of Christchurch in New Zealand. 

This got me thinking about our own vulnerability.  Fact is that a hurricane hitting Grand Bend and Western /Southern Ontario is more than feasible given past experience! Now its probable and getting distinctly so!

The signs are already there that a freak storm enjoys warm waters such as have been building up this winter over the great lakes and further north! Should we also get a series of Caribbean heat waves, we have to consider that Western Ontario is once again vulnerable to increased threat from hurricane and tornado occurences. 

We saw what happened in Goderich last year. 

Our biggest threat here is possibly hurricane damage. No one can put a probability on such storms, but my guess is that they have gone up!

1.  This week, we have just been bombarded with a record breaking heat generating solar storm and others will continue to hit earth as the sun spot electrical storm cycle rises to its peak in 2012 and 2013! Watch out for sun related cancer! 

2. Tornado alley has moved north, and during this spring/summer we may see higher frequency of tornados in our region.

3. There is a history of very large destructive storms hitting Western and Southern Ontario about once in 50 years. We are overdue.

4. A hurricane is so infrequent that no one believes one will ever strike.

What precautions can we take?

It's important just to realize that a hurricane here is feasible and that the likelihood because of warm waters has increased dramatically.

Our biggest concern would be Bruce Nuclear! What are the risks if it were to be hit very hard by 200 mph winds?  Can we see the cost of nuclear fall out stretching all the way across Ontario towards the golden horseshoe?

Subject: Fukushima Anniversary: How Climate Change Endangers Nuclear Safety

Is Ontario, Canada prepared for a hurricane off Lake Huron combined with a hot 2012 summer bringing hot Caribbean air north? I wonder whether Western Ontario will be habitable in three years time? Scratching your fears or scratching at a hidden truth of Bruce Nuclear's vulnerability to a hurricane as occured with Hazel in 1956! Are you ready for such a storm?

Scratch your lawn, garden or field surface to sketch your own future with small plants, reptiles and animals and thereby to sustain natural life in a more balanced, productive and diversified way. Enliven your immediate natural world and strengthen the rainbow of vegetation and creatures that sustain you in a myriad of hiddenways Think and act to renaturalize your homestead and community. For example, that cedar in your garden may be protecting your lungs from cancer?

Wuhlax asks gardeners that they think of new ways that they can further renaturalize your surroundings. You, yourself can think. Do I really need to support as much lawn? Perhaps, in its place, I could create a canopy for wild life by planting a hardwood tree that would actually produce food or provide shelter. Open your seedbank to nature and explore hidden strengths and weaknesses.

Wuhlax asks farmers to discover and let others know what their soil is capable of sustaining without fertilizer? Can your farm reduce it's dependence on energy by self sustaining practices. Does your farm really need a ploughed field? Are there hedge rows that can be nurtured for diversity?

Wuhlax asks everyone whether there are there enough small wild birds and creatures nearby that feed on the flying insects and mosquitoes that bother you? Give your surroundings a chance to rebalance naturally and at the same time help your own health through love of your living spaces. Can you grow food plants, protect the tiny lizard under a log or stone? In what ways can you recapture the strength of the soil around you to feed your natural community. Perhaps, you would share your findings with us here at Scratches to Sketches!

Cut off rather than pull up toxic plants such as wild garlic. Knowing how to control toxic vegetation is as important as knowing how to sustain benign vegetation. As you learn, inform others and share your insights.

Realize that the smallest of birds travel 7,000 kilometers in a single migratory flight across the North Atlantic into deepest Africa. Some fly as much as 14,000 kilometers twice a year!

If you can diversify your landscape for perennials and life that is self sustaining, perhaps you have ideas that you would like to share. If so, I have a gmail address that starts with wuhlax! Or, you can twitter me at @renaturetek.

Perhaps, in its place, I could create a canopy for wild life by planting a hardwood tree that would actually produce food or provide shelter. Open your seedbank to nature and explore hidden strengths and weaknesses.

Wuhlax asks farmers to discover and let others know what their soil is capable of sustaining without fertilizer? Can your farm reduce it's dependence on energy by self sustaining practices. Does your farm really need a ploughed field? Are there hedge rows that can be nurtured for diversity?

Wuhlax asks everyone whether there are there enough small wild birds and creatures nearby that feed on the flying insects and mosquitoes that bother you? Give your surroundings a chance to rebalance naturally and at the same time help your own health through love of your living spaces. Can you grow food plants, protect the tiny lizard under a log or stone? In what ways can you recapture the strength of the soil around you to feed your natural community. Perhaps, you would share your findings with us here at Scratches to Sketches!

Cut off rather than pull up toxic plants such as wild garlic. Knowing how to control toxic vegetation is as important as knowing how to sustain benign vegetation. As you learn, inform others and share your insights.

Realize that the smallest of birds travel 7,000 kilometers in a single migratory flight across the North Atlantic into deepest Africa. Some fly as much as 14,000 kilometers twice a year!

If you can diversify your landscape for perennials and life that is self sustaining, perhaps you have ideas that you would like to share. If so, I have a gmail address that starts with wuhlax! Or, you can twitter me at @renaturetek.

Britain Threatens Nuclear Attack on Argentina: How little islands are causing big problems…again | Critical Analysis |Axisoflogic.com

Does one have to be on any particular side? In the case of the Falkland Islands, the Marinas Islands distant to Argentina the fishing, settlement and mining issues are heated. The solution is, of course, a moratorium on development and a creation of an international preservation without commercial use other than is suffient for self sustenance of a smallish population. The idea that the islands resources are to be used as commercial enterprises is pretty outlandish and just an expression of competitive land grab mentality of large business! Put the conflict to rest and let no one cash in on these islands.

Vandana Shiva: The Future of Food-Part 2 | Environment/Nature |Axisoflogic.com

We need to think about the food we eat. How is it produced? By whom? Who owns the production? We are blinded by what we remember as an idilic past, and forget the present is pretty barbaric for too many creatures. Or, perhaps we just have not noticed! We need to wake up to the real dangers of our everyday world and how nasty it is, needlessly nasty! Eating squirrels is only a symptom of the modern sickness. It is an expression of how insane our world has become. That is why we need to create pockets of sanity in which we nourish diversity, protect small holdings and a sustainable life style. Your future world is not startrek, but earthtrek, and you really need to be proud of how you shelter the creatures around us.

YOU HAVE REACHED WOOH'S STREAM
The Internet User's Best Kept Secret

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth. ... more!
