CORAL
A Scientific American article from December 2013 said “Damaged Reefs Show Resiliency in Cayman Islands”.
Did you notice how the author used the hedging generality “show resiliency” to blunt any specific awareness as to the scope of the positive change underway?
The article goes on to say “A 13-year study of coral reefs spontaneously recovering in the Cayman Islands offers hope of refuting often doomsday forecasts about the worldwide decline of the colorful marine habitat. Scientists monitoring the Cayman reefs noted a 40 percent decline in live coral cover between 1999 and 2004 during a period of warmer seas in the Caribbean.”
Did you notice how coral reefs decreased 40% in the four years after the literal forest of what we collectively refer to as “wireless communications infrastructure” was thrown up virtually overnight in every city, town and village on Earth in the late 1990’s?
The article goes on to say “However, seven years later, the amount, size and density of the live coral had returned to 1999 levels as sea temperatures eased, according to Tom Frazer, professor of aquatic ecology at the University of Florida and part of the research team.”
Wait, what? The author is writing the article in 2013, which, to this moment, is straight-fadedly claimed to be the hottest in all history.
“People have said these systems don’t have a chance,” Frazer told Reuters. “What we are saying is: 'Hey, this is evidence they do have a chance.”
He’s saying they “have a chance” when they’ve returned to the level of health they’d seen previously.
Essay: Without saying “because the heat from global warming is hiding in the deep oceans”, explain how ocean temperatures could return back down to late 90’s levels during the hottest year in the Earth’s history.
A NEW WORLD COMING INTO BEING
In 2005, NBC News said “Ethiopian girl reportedly guarded by lions”.
The article goes on to say “A 12-year-old girl who was abducted and beaten by men trying to force her into a marriage was found being guarded by three lions who apparently had chased off her captors, a policeman said Tuesday. The girl, missing for a week, had been taken by seven men who wanted to force her to marry one of them, said Sgt. Wondimu Wedajo, speaking by telephone from the provincial capital of Bita Genet, about 350 miles southwest of Addis Ababa. She was beaten repeatedly before she was found June 9 by police and relatives on the outskirts of Bita Genet, Wondimu said. She had been guarded by the lions for about half a day, he said.
“They stood guard until we found her and then they just left her like a gift and went back into the forest,” Wondimu said.
“If the lions had not come to her rescue, then it could have been much worse. Often these young girls are raped and severely beaten to force them to accept the marriage,” he said.
‘Some kind of miracle’
Tilahun Kassa, a local government official who corroborated Wondimu’s version of the events, said one of the men had wanted to marry the girl against her wishes.
“Everyone thinks this is some kind of miracle, because normally the lions would attack people,” Wondimu said.
Stuart Williams, a wildlife expert with the rural development ministry, said the girl may have survived because she was crying from the trauma of her attack.
“A young girl whimpering could be mistaken for the mewing sound from a lion cub, which in turn could explain why they didn’t eat her,” Williams said.
Ethiopia’s lions, famous for their large black manes, are the country’s national symbol and adorn statues and the local currency. Despite a recent crackdown, hunters kill the animals for their skins, which can fetch $1,000. Williams estimates that only 1,000 Ethiopian lions remain in the wild.
The girl, the youngest of four siblings, was “shocked and terrified” after her abduction and had to be treated for the cuts from her beatings, Wondimu said.
He said police had caught four of the abductors and three were still at large.
Kidnapping young girls has long been part of the marriage custom in Ethiopia. The United Nations estimates that more than 70 percent of marriages in Ethiopia are by abduction, practiced in rural areas where most of the country’s 71 million people live.”
PEOPLE ARE GETTING INVOLVED
In November 2013, a yahoo blog said “Newly released surveillance video shows the terrifyingmoments an armed robber boarded a Seattle bus and how passengers took him down.
The incident began Nov. 25 when a masked man got on the bus at a stop in downtown Seattle and, at first, sat down like a fellow passenger.
“We noticed that his face was kind of covered and he was wearing a hoodie, too, so you couldn’t quite tell what was going on ,” passenger Chris Briggs told local ABC affiliate KOMO.
The gunman, identified by Seattle police as 19-year-old Trevonnte Brown, then pulled out a handgun and demanded that two passengers hand him their cellphones.
“He came up to me … stuck the gun at me and took my phone,” said Briggs, one of the two passengers robbed. “He jabbed me a little harder and said, ‘Don’t make this any harder than it has to be.’”
As Brown made his way to the front of the bus, a seated passenger lunged at him and his gun, even as Brown pointed it in the passenger’s face, according to KOMO.
Other passengers, including Briggs, then jumped into the fray and pinned Brown down to the ground.
“People were kind of committed at that point,” Briggs said. “It was just kinda one of those things that no one gave any thought to once things started happening.”
Brown was arrested and charged with three counts of robbery and one count of attempted robbery, according to KOMO. He pleaded guilty to all counts, reports KOMO.
Brown is being held on $350,000 bail. The next hearing in his case is scheduled for Dec. 30.”
