    Thank you for this quick little video. I'm getting into bird watching because of two birds that wake up every morning. At first I purchased a bb gun to get rid of them then I learned I probably will never heart any bird or animal. So came to RUclips to learn about the bird and see if there's any cool things about it.

    I don't understand why they are so concerned about the red-bellied turtles. A few years back, I was biking over there and ran into one of the workers digging up turtle eggs. She told me they will be incubated so the foxes and raccoons don't dig them up and eat them. Isn't that Nature's plan? WTF. Why are the foxes and raccoons being denied nutritious turtle eggs, so they can dig in your trash and kill your pets for sustenance? Don't even get me started about their plan to eliminate snakeheads and carp. The reason it stinks like shit over there in the summer is from all the rotting vegetation that the carp they remove aren't eating. The Northern Snakehead is the best thing to ever happen to game fishing in this area and they're here to stay. Maybe they'll help control the red-bellied turtle over-population those nitwits created.

    1% of people control 75% of farmland -- 80% of food grows on small farms 0.5% of vehicles are electric, 2% of energy is solar & wind 20% of energy is electricity, 100% renewable electricity = 20% of energy *Direct Impacts of Climate Heating* ▷ Heat stress is reducing crop yields. ▷ Heat stress toll on farmers (sometimes fatal). ▷ Heat stress tolls on livestock (often fatal). ▷ Altered precipitation: not enough rain; drought. ▷ Altered precipitation: too much rain; flooding. ▷ Weather whiplashing between drought and flooding (or heat and cold) ruining crops. ▷ Extreme weather physically damaging crops: hail storms, late Spring frosts, early Fall frosts, early warmth confusing plants to bud prematurely, followed by killing frosts. ▷ Wildfires physically destroying crops and livestock and polluting water supplies. ▷ Smoke and other wildfire pollutants damage crops hundreds of km from the burn areas. ▷ Extreme weather damaging food storage infrastructure, disrupting food transportation systems, breaking down “cold chain” systems. All of these above effects are already cascading into a variety of secondary effects. Secondary Impacts ▷ Crop and farm failures, financing challenges, farmer migration and suicides, general strikes. ▷ Loss of agricultural labour and resource conflicts. ▷ Crop stress causes stress on seeds and seed viability damage, causing poor crop yields in subsequent years. ▷ Drought and sea-level rise causes salinization contamination is soils and farmland, reducing crop yields for years. ▷ Heat, drought, and overuse of pesticides wipes out good beetles, butterflies, bees, and other pollinators. ▷ Changing precipitation patterns leads to increased breeding of locusts and other crop harming pests. ▷ Drought dries out soils leading to wind blown soil loss and desertification. ▷ Drought and decreases glacial water storage and groundwater infiltration, drying up rivers and amplifying water stress in subsequent years. ▷ Torrential rain leading to flooding caused soil erosion, destroys crops and infrastructure, and carries over to subsequent growing seasons. ▷ Crop losses impact feed prices and supply for the following year. -- Beckwith et al 2020 YT Oceans took 89% of the heat and they're going to blow, see Loki's Revenge Green Energy Fraud I don't how to say that in academic gibberish, so I'll just let the gibberish do the talking...

      Volunteer for the fridge here. Volunteers are instructed to throw away food that isn’t labeled with a date or ingredients.

If you tell people that they can help, they will.
