Civilization: Paris Agreement targets need to be 5 times stronger to actually work

Please view the brief Grist article in the link below. Excerpt: "Even if all of the countries involved in the Paris Agreement bring emissions down to the levels they initially pledged to meet, the world would still be on track for 3.2 degrees C of warming. That's 5.76 degrees F, a scenario that would make the wildfires, hurricanes, heat waves, and droughts of 2019 look like child's play."

Subject: Please help: Two deadly threats to Tongass wolves
To: 

As we enter this season of giving, Alexander Archipelago wolves in the Tongass National Forest face two deadly threats: loss of their habitat and people who want to kill them. Their numbers have plummeted from roughly 350 in the 1990's to just 170 last month(1), and with a no-quota kill season now underway, we could lose even more. Today, efforts to allow new roadbuilding in the Tongass could make it easier for people to kill wolves in the short term and could destroy the habitat they need to survive in the long term. Between now and Giving Tuesday, a generous donor has agreed to match any gifts to fight this plan and ensure that Tongass wolves have the wild lands they need to roam. Donate to preserve protections that make our Tongass National Forest a safe place for wildlife. From now until Giving Tuesday, your gift will be matched! Like salmon and Sitka black-tailed deer, Tongass wolves on Prince of Wales Island strongly prefer intact old-growth forest. They den amidst the roots of ancient trees where they feed on deer that the forest sustains.(2) And they avoid roads that bring them into contact with people.(3) This is not surprising; when studying Tongass wolves, researchers identified that wolf deaths from trapping and hunting rose and fell in correlation with the amount of roads in study areas.(4) Roadless areas give wolves the space they need to roam...and steer clear from people. If President Trump succeeds in exempting the Tongass from the Roadless Rule, new roads will allow people deeper into the forest to not only kill more wolves, but decimate the old-growth forest that deer and wolves need for long term survival. On Giving Tuesday, protect the ancient trees and the wolves and deer that depend on them. Donate to protect the Tongass National Forest and help us keep the Roadless Rule in place. Thank you, Adam Executive Director P.S. Did you know that the Forest Service lost an average of $20 million per year on timber sales in the Tongass over the last decade? American taxpayers footed the bill to destroy our own forest. Stand up for our old-growth Tongass and the wolves that rely on this landscape by giving generously today! Your gift will be doubled!

World: Best Shielding Materials Against EMFs?

Subject: Friday Q&A: Best Shielding Materials Against EMFs?
To:

Time for another edition of this weekly-ish Q&A session. Today, Brandon asks: "What material is effective to protect us from EMFs?" Good question Brandon, but the answer is charged to say the least. I'll try to be concise. First things first -- after years of studying EMFs, I'm convinced that 99.9% of people (this probably includes you and me) shouldn't play around with shielding materials without the help of a qualified EMF professional. By "Qualified EMF Professional", I mean: - A Shielded Healing consultant - A Geovital consultant - A Building Biologist There are other types of EMF professionals, and if they have at least several years of experience and good testimonials you can probably go for it. There are several reasons I'm really not fond of people purchasing and installing their own shielding materials at the home or office: 1) Most people don't own the expensive EMF meters (such as those from the Gigahertz Solutions line) required to do a proper EMF assessment and really know what they're being exposed to. Depending on a lot of factors including the angle at which the signal is coming from (for example, from a specific cell tower nearby), the building materials used where you live, and the frequencies you're being exposed to… your shielding materials needs might vary greatly. Also, meters are ESSENTIAL to assess whether your shielding job (such as applying shielding paint to a bedroom + EMF-blocking curtains) has been done correctly. I heard from several let's say "EMF-amateurs" who ended up finding that the materials they used to shield their home in fact increased their EMF exposure and made them feel worse! (+ they flushed thousands down the drain) 2) There's very rarely a "one-size-fits-all" solution to your EMF problems. Again, refer to my first point above. The interactions between dozens of cell towers, wifi routers, cell phones, utility so-called "smart" meters, and interconnected wireless sensors and gizmos are complicated... and that's why people can spend a lifetime studying and learning how to properly apply shielding materials. So all that being said, there are several types of materials that can be used in certain situations: - Good old tin foil (seriously) - Fabric lined with silver, copper and/or stainless steel - Mesh made out of different kinds of metals - Shielding paint, such as the T98 Alpha from Geovital, or the YShield - G-iron flex to shield against magnetic fields (several other materials exist, but I've been told shielding against magnetic fields is generally a losing battle, and an expensive one) All that to say that there's no magic bullet when it comes to shielding yourself against EMFs. Find a consultant to work with. Have them assess which materials would work best considering your specific EMF situation and your budget. Purchase materials from their prefered source; you might have access to better prices. If you still want to explore shielding by yourself, then Safe Living Technologies (SLT.co) is a great website to visit if you order from the US or Canada. I hope this helps! Nick

North Dakota and North America and Ocean: 378,000 gallons of the 'dirtiest oil on the planet' spilled and Drumpf wants more?

Subject: 378,000 gallons of the 'dirtiest oil on the planet' spilled – and Trump wants more?
To:

DONATE Stop Trump From Moving Forward With Keystone XL President Trump is illegally moving forward with plans to review the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline. Help stop him.  TAKE ACTION  Dear liz, It happened again. Just two weeks ago, the Keystone Pipeline leaked over 378,000 gallons of toxic tar sands crude — the "dirtiest oil on the planet" — into a wetland in North Dakota. This was the twenty-first time Keystone has spilled on American soil since 2010. Yet, despite this, the Trump administration is moving forward with plans to build another tar sands pipeline, the infamous, ill-fated Keystone XL — which would carry even more dirty, dangerous tar sands oil through America's heartland. Trump's State Department just published an updated draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for Keystone XL. They're accepting public comments on this review until November 18. Take a stand NOW: Submit an official public comment reminding President Trump of overwhelming public opposition to the disastrous Keystone XL pipeline. The Keystone XL tar sands pipeline would carry 830,000 barrels per day of dirty tar sands crude oil from Canada's boreal forests through the heart of America to the Gulf of Mexico. The North Dakota tar sands spill is just the latest incident casting serious doubts on whether tar sands can ever be safely transported or cleaned up when spilled. The Keystone XL pipeline is also a ticking climate time bomb. Tar sands crude oil releases significantly more greenhouse gas than conventional oil, so this pipeline would pull us further away from a clean energy future — and derail progress in the fight against climate change. This pipeline would be devastating to our environment and wildlife, to our global climate and drinking water supplies, and to local and Indigenous communities. We cannot allow this dangerous project to ever see the light of day. Stand with NRDC and the millions of Americans who oppose dirty energy — tell the Trump administration to stop Keystone XL. NRDC and our partner groups have been fighting, and winning, against Keystone XL for over a decade. Overwhelming public opposition convinced President Obama to reject the pipeline in 2015. But President Trump — at the behest of his oil industry patrons — is trying to bring it back from the dead. Last year we won several federal court victories that blocked construction on Keystone XL. The court ruled that the Trump State Department's original environmental review was flawed and outdated, and required the State Department to issue this new draft environmental review. But the State Department's analysis can't hide what we already know: Keystone XL would be a disaster for our planet. We will keep fighting tooth-and-nail for as long as it takes to kill the Keystone XL pipeline. But right now, we need concerned NRDC activists to send a message to the Trump administration that it should scrap this dangerous project once and for all. Can we count on you to add your voice to this crucial fight?
