“Parkinson’s May Be Caused by a Common Aquatic Bacterium”
https://www.sciencealert.com/parkinsons-may-be-caused-by-a-common-aquatic-bacterium
90
I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s about four years ago. I haven”t given it as much study as perhaps I should have, but it seemed to me that Parkinson’s is not so much a disease as a set of conditions. In my case anyway. I’ve had these problems for over 50 years.
I am very deaf. So I used to take my wife to the doctors with me to make sure I got things right. It turned out to be not such a good idea. My sister was diagnosed with Parkinson’s. I think my wife decided I had it, and the next time we went to the doctor I think a lot of boxes got ticked that I wouldn’t have ticked. I felt I was being bypassed, anyway. Next came the specialist appointment, which was a major disaster. I had been wrestling sheep the day before, and was very, very stiff. (Which was one of my long standing symptoms. I get as stiff after minor exercise as I used to get from playing a game of Rugby) Both hearing aids failed, and I might as well have been vegetable after driving an hour and a half to Dubbo.
They tell me that one of the symptoms of Parkinson’s is a dead pan expression. What kind of expression can a man put on when he hasn’t a clue what the topic of discussion is?
The 50 years. I was a farm boy, fit as the proverbial, then at age 27 something went wrong, and it didn’t recover. The stiffness, a hangover from just one beer, exertion wasn’t fun any more. Several visits to GP left me thinking his diagnosis was mental, so I was up a blind gully.
25 years later a blood test showed I had only 30% kidney function. I gradually became convinced that my earlier problem marked the time when I got my kidney damage. Another 27 years it is now down to 23%, so hasn’t killed me yet.
That conviction came after a specialist asked me did I have any memory problems when this was happening. I later remembered that I couldn’t keep score for a game of tennis. It was a bit embarrassing, but when you look back at it it must surely have impaired my general performance.

A Heavy Dose of Reality for Electric-truck Mandates
Andrew Boyle, first vice-chair of the American Trucking Associations, testified before a US Senate Environment and Public Works Subcommittee on the future of clean vehicles. While acknowledging that cars and light-duty trucks are appropriate for electrification, transport trucks are unsuitable for the following reasons:
* Today, a diesel truck takes 15 minutes to refuel anywhere in the country, giving it a range of 1,200 miles before refueling again.
* Long-haul battery-electric trucks require up to 10 hours to recharge, for a range of 150-330 miles. So, to go 1,200 miles, a BEV truck needs to charge 4-8 times — assuming there are charge points where needed.
* Thus, far more trucks would be needed to haul the same amount of freight, with each electric truck costing $300,000 more than a diesel equivalent.
* Converting all the Class 8 trucks in the US would require a $1 trillion investment, which would flow to consumers, and for which the US would have to commandeer the global production of lithium for seven years.
* A battery for a heavy-duty truck weighs 8,000 lb., which means that much less payload since the maximum gross weight of the vehicle is fixed.
* Local electric utilities can’t handle the loads required for charging stations.

You obviously haven’t seen the swappable battery trucks that are currently operational in Australia and New Zealand.

https://electrek.co/2023/02/28/electric-truck-conversion-battery-swaps-trial-clean-logging-australia/
The biggest issue is battery weight, either payload has to be reduced or the roads have to be improved.
335
Operational, how many and on what routes?
200
Seems like one short trip in the logging trial… I wonder how long that will last.
Remember, once a lithium battery gets a bit of a bump, it can become quite unstable.
Would never happen with fork-lift loading, of course. 😉
And recharged mostly by GAS, if its in SA. 😉
No work on cloudy windless days.
“or the roads have to be improved.”
Improving logging and mining roads…
… LOL.. now there is wishful thinking !
About as likely as unicorn farts.
121
What road authority would allow a 165 tonne B-triple with 3 tonne of lithium ion batteries on a sealed public highway?

In what “real world” is a four possibly five months test a “real world” test ???
101
Don’t expect an answer Dennis. I doubt there is one in his grab bag of links.
30
Not making the battery integral to the chassis structure also makes the chassis heavier and further adds to gross weight and its related issues.
I like the way you make it sound like its a real operational thing though. Just more for the endless pile of wishful thinking,
251
All those extra batteries…. materials mined where ?
As Yarpos aid, a pile of wishful thinking.
91
You have linked to a trial Simon.
I would hardly call it “operational”.
And I am willing to bet that the trial will be a failure.
231
Well, considering long distance routes, if you only have a range of 300km or so, you probably want charging stations every 100km, and along that route you need high-power transmission cables to recharge the batteries at the station. But then you think, we’ve already got high-power transmission cables on long distance routes – its called electric rail….
70
Yeah, no worries Simon. Swapping batteries in and out of trucks means more batteries are needed (I guess at least double because you need one charged and waiting at the next swap stop while you have one in the truck being used. Or some combination of multiple batteries depending on the logistics of trucks coming and going from swap stops and being ready) but let’s assume you have solved that issue with battery swaps. You still have the other issues to solve and you’ve just exacerbated the battery supply problem.
Just admit that it’s not practical with current technology, resources, and dollars even IF there is a genuine climate crisis.
140
perhaps I missed it ( I couldn’t read the 2nd link) but I didn’t see any mention of how long it takes to swap batteries nor the logistics and labor required. A servicing station would require a lot of batteries (standardized or specialized), storage space and charging capability in order to service a small percentage of trucks on the roads and need multiples of them every 500 km. Does a trucker call ahead to see if the battery he needs is available? What if one isn’t available or isn’t charged? Do they reserve them like hotel rooms?
It fascinates me how do gooders cannot evaluate the consequences of their good intentions. But, I reckon they create those “green jobs” they promise.
70
Simon, the biggest issue, is that we are losing focus on your main issue. Climate Change.
I ask you,
Will a full transition to using electric vehicles/trucks change the climate?
I mean that’s the point of all this EV malarky. Isn’t it, to change the climate?
You want me to buy your product, “Saving the planet”
Then sell it to me. Give real quantific answers. Please no media releases, actual data.
I humbly ask a simple question: If we took 100,000 Prime movers off the road, what change in global temperature would that achieve?
Surely you should know. So enlighten me.
Otherwise why waste precious energy, resources and funds on an EV transport dream, when there is already a more efficient transport system available?
210
This was subject to an extensive – and expensive – commercial trial with standard passenger vehicles in Israel a few years ago.
It was a major flop and discontinued.

pollution created from making electric batteries is far worse than co2.
80
But that’s just pollution. CO2 is toxic.
50
yes, that’s why breathing on people is usually considered a crime. 🤣

The Kenworth truck converted was involved in a spontaneous battery fire early on.
I think it will be ages before this takes off Simon.
Insurances companies are very wary of this method of Swap & Go.
130
This EV thing is maybe the worst of the slow rolling disasters being promulgated by progressive politics.
Vehicle production (kee-rist, besides energy production) is being thrown into turmoil and reestablishing production, and parts and repair infrastructure, after the certain failure of the EV scheme, will be expensive and take years.
For God’s sake …
FOOD COSTS … under this fantasy EV delivery trucking wet dream, will go beyond the reach of the average person, not to mention the poor.
Kee-rist, we’re almost there already.
Witness the all out assault on farming.
Sorry ‘Simon’, who or whatever you are, you are representative of either ignorance or evil.
Sorry mod.
It’s just the truth.
151
Simon,
Even “swappable” batteries have to be recharged.
Did you think?
What’s the strategy?
50
Short-haul, back-to-base haulage only.
Initially, probably need 3 batteries per truck, one in the truck, one charging, one ready to go.
Maybe reduce to 2 per truck once they have a few trucks.
Charged mostly by COAL or GAS fired power, with electricity prices increasing.
51
I’m curious what the footprint of these truck battery switching stations are going to be along heavily traveled road corridors where what…hundreds of batteries are to be stored and recharged in heavily populated areas. Can’t store all these potential 4th of July Sparklers next to each other, so what’s the plan for one site to cover how many acres of land?
Oh well there is always eminent domain and shelter in place when a battery lights off, and hope it’s only one truck battery at a time.

Australia Funds mRNA Technology Project to RAPIDLY Produce Emergency Animal Disease Vaccines
On May 2nd, 2023 Meat & Livestock Australia company published a statement titled “MLA funds mRNA technology project to rapidly produce emergency animal disease vaccines”.
Excerpts:
“This project will develop a mRNA vaccine pipeline initially for LSD, but potentially for other emergency diseases,” Michael said.
“This will enable capacity for rapid mass production of a vaccine for LSD in the event of an outbreak.
“No LSD vaccines are registered for use in Australia yet. While some killed vaccines exist overseas, the path to registration in Australia for traditionally-produced is longer than that of an mRNA vaccine.”
“ Australia faces increasing biosecurity threats to its animal populations which have far reaching economic, social and animal welfare impacts. Next-generation (mRNA-based) vaccine technologies may provide a game-changing approach to emergency disease preparedness.
Live vaccines cannot be imported to Australia. The establishment of the capacity to produce a vaccine for LSD is the priority that will provide the Australian cattle and other ruminant industries with insurance against an imminent biosecurity threat that would have far reaching trade, animal health and economic implications.

Freezer full of meat. Check.

Maybe the stupid things will work for Lumpy Skin Disease and not kill 1% of the stock injected. mRNA is certainly useless vs COVID and I have my doubts about all flu vaccines for the last 20 years as well.
111
How many times have we heard the story, “I got my flu vax cause the doctor pushed me and then I got the flu straight after” ? Just heard it again today from a friend of mine.
110
“No LSD vaccines are registered for use in Australia yet. While some killed vaccines exist overseas, the path to registration in Australia for traditionally-produced is longer than that of an mRNA vaccine.”
Strange statement as I would have thought that any vaccine, no matter how it is produced, would be required to follow a strict protocol to test the bleedin obvious.
i.e.Is the vaccine effective against the disease it is developed for? Does the vaccine produce any side effects in the animals it is to be used on? What are the long term effects on multiple generations of animals. etc etc etc.
To say a different method of production simply “makes” a vaccine safe to administer is naive. Long term effects, regardless of good or bad can only be determined after “A long time”
80
don’t worry, the magic mRNA vaxx is always safe end effective ™
no evidence required!

IIRC Moderna gave up on mRNA vaccines for livestock due to lack of survival of the treated – until the miracle of the Peking Pox emergency release?

The 42,000 geomagnetic excursion took a little while to pan out.
‘After calibrating the tree rings to ancient cave dripstone records in China, the kauri record provided an account of atmospheric changes that the tree witnessed at 40-year intervals starting about 42,350 years ago.
‘It took about 240 years for the polar reversal to occur, with the magnetic field strength dropping to just 6 percent of its present-day strength during the transition while the Magnetic North Pole wandered south to New York, then west to Oregon.
‘Then the pole zipped south to Antarctica for just 400 years, developing only about 28 percent of full field intensity.
‘Finally, the pole zoomed northward through the Indian Ocean back up to the Arctic, flipping back to today’s “normal” polarity and strength around 41,500 years ago.’ (Earthdate)
62
Pole flip, I get. It has happened more than a few times.
Any link for the update?

Excursions are more numerous than flips and totally unpredictable.
During the Laschamp excursion the Aurora was on display over the equator.

How determined is the individual to stand up to and defy unjust authority? You might have heard of that famous experiment conducted by Stanly Milgram about obedience to authority. He is reported to have concluded that around 80% of the test subjects did not have the moral fortitude to defy the orders an authority figure gave them even when the orders became potentially life threatening to the person under each subjects supervision. That leaves about 20% of our society who are willing to think critically and defy crazy orders or mandates. How each of us reacted to the Covid debacle and our governments totalitarian mandates and bungling of peoples lives has been a recent and still raw revelation. Chances are if you are in that 20% your defiant stance cost you dearly in many ways. But take heart, that’s the honourable and just cost of autonomy and freedom.

Climate fanatics say there’s no room for personal choice if global warming is to be stopped: Everyone will need to decrease their standard of living by 75% – using force if necessary
In the near future, everyone on earth – except the “elite,” of course – will have to drastically reduce their standard of living in order to save the planet from the devastating effects of warm weather, according to the BBC.
In its “Future World” series, the BBC is telling viewers that it is no longer an option to live an “ultra-low carbon lifestyle” – it is a requirement if the planet is to be saved from man-made so-called climate change.
Right now, the “carbon footprint” of someone living in the developed world ranges anywhere from 4.46 metric tons per year in France, all the way up to 15.43 metric tons per year in Canada.
In the United States, the average person’s carbon footprint clocks in at 14.67 metric tons per year, which is nearly eight times higher than the two metric tons per year limit being proposed by the “green” cult.

Burger lovers rejoice! Lab-grown meat is up to 25 times WORSE for the climate than beef, study claims
Lab-grown meat has been touted as a way to save the planet, but a new study suggests its green credentials are not as solid as many believe.
Researchers have revealed that lab-grown or ‘cultured’ meat, produced by cultivating animal cells, is up to 25 times worse for the climate than real beef.
Production of real meat has a huge carbon footprint because it requires water, feed and the clearing of trees to make way for cattle.
Despite this, experts say the carbon footprint of lab-grown meat could be ‘orders of magnitude higher’ once the industry grows.
Although lab-grown meat is yet to hit the shops, British scientists are among those growing meat products in a lab with a view to commercialise them.

Announcements about all of these ways to save the planet never quite mention the detail and as many of us know, the devil is ALWAYS in the detail.
Hydrogen is the fuel of the future, never mention what will be used for feed stock or where the energy to convert the feed stock will come from.
Fish farms were touted as saving the worlds fisheries, never mention that part of the farmed fish diet is fish meal produced from wild caught sources
Laboratory grown meat will also need a supply of nutrients to produce. Where will these come from, how much energy to produce these nutrients? Hope we wont be using that old out dated method of photosynthesis, converting carbon into stuff that grows.

Back in the 1960s ICI developed a method of producing bacterial protein grown in methanol.
It looked a bit like, and tasted like, baby formula. I don’t know what has happened since then.
The methanol was produced from natural gas and had various nutrients such as nitrogen and minerals added. One problem was in keeping the bacterial strain pure and avoiding contamination by other undesirable bacteria.
One of the suggested uses was as a feed in fish farms, which triggered my memory of it.

A group of 600 Scientists this year signed the Dublin Declaration on the Societal Role of Livestock in the first effort I have seen to protect the farming industry against the moves to restrict it because of ruminant emissions.
The purpose of declaration states –
Livestock systems must progress on the basis of the highest scientific standards. They are too precious to society to become the victim of simplification, reductionism or zealotry. These systems must continue to be embedded in and have broad approval of society. For that, scientists are asked to provide reliable evidence of their nutrition and health benefits, environmental sustainability, socio-cultural and economic values, as well as for solutions for the many improvements that are needed. This declaration aims to give voice to the many scientists around the world who research diligently, honestly and successfully in the various disciplines in order to achieve a balanced view of the future of animal agriculture.
I have been banging on about the fact that ruminant animals sequester carbon, from the vegetation they injest, for years and I am delighted to see, at last, a group of scientists is standing up to support animal husbandry.
100
Logic tells me that a ruminant can do well on poorer feed than other grazers simply because of the predigestion in the rumen and the then slow methodical mastication they employ, [ever seen a cow chewing its cud? Not a pretty sight] a luxury not available to those that must swallow their feed while exposed to predators.
30
Here we may have a kind of standard for the early Bolshevik level of dishonesty that we didn’t experience in the West until quite recently:
Alexander Solzhenitsyn.
But while in most spheres we didn’t have this dishonesty, or indeed much of cancel culture, this level of gold standard Bolshevik lying and US University cancel culture had menaced the world of science for over a century.
21
Copied from the webosphere.
My question – since pre-industrial CO2 levels varied from 170 ppm to 6,000 ppm, which is the consensus pre-industrial level that the coercive climate utopians are aiming for? I would have thought that seeing we are all going to be vegans, possibly a higher “age of dinosaurs” level of 2,000 ppm might be suitable, because there were some mighty big plant-eaters around then.
50
Contrary to received opinion CO2 levels can drop precipitously. So it’s quite irresponsible and dangerous to have levels below 800 ppm. 1500 ppm would be better for nature and greening the deserts. If we are selfish humans we might settle for the lower figure of 800 because we are indoors-centric. From 1500 things can easily rise to problematic levels.
In summary we might want 800 if we only care about the one species and 1500 if we are less selfish. But then again ought we not be able to easily work around this higher level? It’s not as if we can get to 1500 overnight?

The big policy question:
How much wind killing do we want?
By David Wojick
https://www.cfact.org/2023/05/10/how-much-wind-killing-do-we-want/
The beginning: “That rapidly growing wind power development kills birds in ever increasing numbers is clear. That it also kills whales and other marine mammals is becoming clear. So the policy question is how much killing is enough, before we stop killing more? This question seems not to be asked.
The stampede to build huge amounts of wind power, on land and at sea, is potentially devastating to a great many species. Our focus has been on the growing threat to whales and other marine mammals from offshore industrial wind. But this is just part of a much deeper pattern of runaway wind killing. For now let’s consider the indifference of the Biden Administration to land based killing of birds.”
Lots more in the article. Please share it.
The rapid rise in wind killing must be stopped.

The emergency is over. Jabs are no longer essential to stop the pandemic. Vaccine “hesitancy” doesn’t threaten anyone. There’s no legitimate reason — if there ever was — why corporate media won’t cover vaccine injuries. In other words, they can’t claim they are obscuring jab injuries to protect the public.
Who are they protecting now, if not the public? And why?”

The initial water phase change explosions that end up causing coronal mass ejections and so forth. You need to know about enthalpy. About the refrigeration effects of phase change from liquid to gas. How thermal energy tends to move opposite to gravity.
It’s all actually very straight forward. It’s what you think you know but don’t that throws you off course.

Our/their ABC is doing some useful reporting on the war in Ukraine.
It seems the Wagner mercenary army has decided it would rather be somewhere else. Russia’s war is much bigger than people are aware of.
