Cod population rebounding

The Atlantic cod is making a comeback off the coast of Nova Scotia. A new study has found that groundfish such as cod, pollock and haddock on the Eastern Scotian Shelf are showing promising signs of recovery since their dramatic collapse two decades ago , said Kenneth Frank of the Bedford Institute of Oceanography.

“It was felt that those stocks and the food chains supporting it might never recover, so we’re happy to report that we’re beginning to see the initial signs of recovery of this ecosystem,” said Frank, lead author of the study.

I suppose that the mainstream media’s spellcasting to paint the world as more and more violent, when in fact it is becoming more and more peaceful, is and will continue to create a backlash that will take the realization of Peace in Our Time forward in a way that it could not have otherwise. Sort of like how water piling up behind a dam will eventually break that dam when the level gets high enough.

Certainly, the Boy Who Cried Wolf was, at a certain point, no longer believed by the villagers, despite his having won them over previously with his fake acting, as he played upon their better sensibilities.

And so, bask in the reality of plummeting violence worldwide:

[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/2]

WASHINGTON – It seems as if violence is everywhere, but it’s really on the run.

historically, we’ve never had it this peaceful. Statistics reveal dramatic reductions in war deaths, family violence, racism, rape, murder and all sorts of mayhem.
In his book, Pinker writes: “The decline of violence may be the most significant and least appreciated development in the history of our species.” And it runs counter to what the mass media is reporting and essentially what we feel in our guts.

Pinker and other experts say the reality is not painted in bloody anecdotes, but demonstrated in the black and white of spreadsheets and historical documents. They tell a story of a world moving away from violence.

The number of people killed in battle – calculated per 100,000 population – has dropped by 1,000-fold over the centuries as civilizations evolved. Before there were organized countries, battles killed on average more than 500 out of every 100,000 people. In 19th century France, it was 70. In the 20th century with two world wars and a few genocides, it was 60. Now battlefield deaths are down to three-tenths of a person per 100,000.

The rate of genocide deaths per world population was 1,400 times higher in 1942 than in 2008.

Murder within families. The U.S. rate of husbands being killed by their wives has dropped from 1.2 per 100,000 in 1976 to just 0.2. For wives killed by their husbands, the rate has slipped from 1.4 to 0.8 over the same time period.

Rape in the United States is down 80 percent since 1973. Lynchings, which used to occur at a rate of 150 a year, have disappeared.

It’s hard for many people to buy the decline in violence. Even those who deal in peace for a living at first couldn’t believe it when the first academics started counting up battle deaths and recognized the trends.

The “Human Security Report 2009/2010,” a project led by Mack and funded by several governments, is a worldwide examination of war and violence and has been published as a book. It cites jarringly low numbers. While the number of wars has increased by 25 percent, they’ve been minor ones. The average annual battle death toll has dropped from nearly 10,000 per conflict in the 1950s to less than 1,000 in the 21st century. And the number of deadliest wars – those that kill at least 1,000 people a year – has fallen by 78 percent since 1988.

For the record, I got kicked out of the page I was editing as I composed this. I’m glad some hacker somewhere is on the ball at their morally bankrupt, $42K a year job. But it’s a nice confirmation and I’m happily recomposing it. While boosting the hacker and those they are energetically conntected to. I wonder if they have to read these posts out loud at their staff meetings?

But on to business. Unmentioned, remarkably, in the article that follows is the fact that Gleick was the Chair of a Task Force on Scientific Ethics at the American Geophysical Union (AGU). I say ‘was’ because his lying and theft led to his being removed from said Task Force. I’d note further that virtually all of the references to it I found pointedly failed to mention his position as Chair. This is called ‘spin control’. Engaging in scientific lying and theft while chairing a Scientific Ethics committee is called ‘hypocricy’.

Climate Scientist Admits To Lying, Leaking Documents

Peter Gleick is not just any scientist. He got his doctorate at the University of California, Berkeley and won a MacArthur “genius” award. He is also an outspoken proponent of scientific evidence that humans are responsible for climate change.

And earlier this week, he confessed that he had lied to obtain internal documents from the Heartland Institute, a group that questions to what extent climate change is caused by humans.

“ For Peter Gleick, it’s going to be a personal tragedy. For [the American Geophysical Union], it’s very unfortunate. Situations like this damage our credibility. And that really hurts."

Here we see, as part of a larger pattern, dire official predictions based on a: baldfaced lies and, b: assiduously ignorning the actual data of their own scientists showing the opposite of what the officals are predicting:

In Spite of Widely Publicized Fears, Bluefin Tuna Populations Are Actually Rebounding

Released:4/20/2011 11:20 AM EDT

Newswise — A study released on April 19 by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) offers a dire prediction: More than 40 species of marine fish currently found in the Mediterranean could disappear in the next few years. According to the report, commercial species, including the Bluefin Tuna, are considered threatened or near threatened with extinction at the regional level, mainly due to overfishing.

“The Mediterranean and Eastern Atlantic population of the Atlantic Bluefin Tuna (Thunnus thynnus) is of particular concern,” says Kent Carpenter, IUCN Global Marine Species Assessment Coordinator. “There has been an estimated 50% decline in this species’ reproduction potential over the past 40 years due to intensive overfishing. The lack of compliance with current quotas combined with widespread underreporting of the catch may have undermined conservation efforts for this species in the Mediterranean.”

This statement is baffling given the best available information on the issues of the Mediterranean and Eastern Atlantic Bluefin stock. The “widespread underreporting” and “lack of compliance with current quotas” must refer to incidents before the 2008-2010 reform of ICCAT, as no reports of illegal fishing have been filed since 2009, according to ICCAT’s illegal vessel list (http://www.iccat.int/en/IUU.asp), in spite of much strengthened policing of the waters and tighter control of the fishing. The study also contradicts the result of ICCAT’s scientific body, SCRS, which published a report (http://www.iccat.int/Documents/Meetings… RS_eng.pdf) in autumn 2010, the most comprehensive assessment of the status of the stock ever made.

A stock assessment conducted by SCRS in October 2010 calculated the Mediterranean stock of Atlantic Bluefin Tuna at approximately 175,000 metric tons, a significant improvement over a 2007 estimate of 78,000 metric tons, 57% of the historical highpoint of the stock in 1955-1957.

25

And it’s not just Tuna they’re lying about. Following you’ll see the steady comeback of Cod, interspersed with baldfaced lies and official warnings of doom, and the closer that they’re going to stop you from fishing for them because, you know, they really care about Mother Gaia, and the cod:

1992 – Forget about the cod shortage; within a few years, the Norwegian quota will be 250,000 tons – and by the end of the decade, it should reach 350,000,

1999 – A year ago, the fishermen working in the Gulf of Maine and their regulators seemed to be looking at different oceans . Federal biologists, armed with evidence that the gulf’s cod population was collapsing after years of overfishing, called for a drastic cut in fishing in the gulf, which extends from Cape Cod to Canada. Angry fishermen cited only what they saw in their nets and said cod stocks were in the midst of a strong recovery. The gulf was so full of cod, the fishermen said, that even the lobster traps were full of the fish.

2004 – WWF, Worldwide Fund for Nature: “WORLD’S COD STOCKS COULD BE GONE BY 2020, GROUP WARNS.”

2007 – Cod fish numbers remain stable in the south and have increased in the central to western parts of the North Sea,

2008 – ScienceNOW: “after 15 years of little to no fishing, local populations show no sign of rebounding.”

2008 – Garden State bottom bouncers are seeing more cod numbers than in recent memory .

2009 – North Sea Cod Stocks See Big Improvement

2010 - the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization’s scientific council reported that the cod population in the Grand Banks, an underwater plateau southeast of Newfoundland, had grown 69 per cent since 2007.

2011 – Grand Banks Cod Stocks Rebound After Thirty Years
Cod, Haddock Stocks Recovering Off Canada’s East Coast

2011 – The NOAA analysis, released last month, asserted that even if all fishing of Gulf of Maine cod was prohibited, it would be unlikely that the stock would be rebuilt by 2018, some four years after NOAA had expected cod to rebound to healthy amounts.

2013 – The journal Science: “Study: Cod stocks may never rebound”

2013 - New England fishermen and their political allies rallied at a Boston fish pier Monday to make an urgent call for relief from deep and imminent cuts to their catch limits.

You may recall Al Gore, who purports to really care about Mother Gaia, and polar bears, and you, showing an animated clip of a polar bear in danger of drowning, trying to get onto a tiny ice flow made smaller, presumably by global warming. He cited a study by the guy who was subsequently canned for scientific misconduct, below. Meanwhile, an honest, non-felon zoologist presents the truth, of a polar bear population that is literally as large as it can get:

[http://dailycaller.com/2013/06/13/polar]
Despite being listed on the on the endangered species list, polar bear populations in certain areas have reached their “carrying capacity” — the maximum environmentally sustainable population size.

Dr. Susan J. Crockford, a zoologist with more than 35 years of experience, found numerous signs that the polar bear population was reaching its limit. “We have at least two reports in the peer-reviewed literature that state flat-out that the presumed negative effects of declining sea ice on a population’s size are indistinguishable from a population that is as large as it can get,” Crockford wrote in a blog post.

“ Rather than being proven victims of Arctic sea ice in a ‘death spiral’ due to global warming, when they finally present the data, biologists have to admit that they cannot actually tell the difference between a polar bear population that is so large that it can no longer increase and one that is suffering a population decline because of reduced sea ice,” Crockford added.

http://www.adn.com/2011/07/28/1989382/a … ation.html

Just five years ago, Charles Monnett was one of the scientists whose observation that several polar bears had drowned in the Arctic Ocean helped galvanize the global warming movement. Now, the wildlife biologist is on administrative leave and facing accusations of scientific misconduct . The federal agency where he works told him he’s being investigated for “integrity issues,” but a watchdog group believes it has to do with the 2006 journal article about the bear.

I saw a great protest sign the other day, “it’s not a downturn it’s a scam.” Here we see, despite the full court press being placed on incomes by lying bankers and politicians, the public continues to step up and pay MORE for healthy, non-weaponized food:

US: Organic sales grow by 17.1 percent in 2008. Sales of organic products in the USA, both food and non-food, reached 24.6 billion US Dollars by the end of 2008, growing an impressive 17.1 % over 2007 sales despite tough economic times , according to the Organic Trade Association (OTA).

The Organic Trade Association says organic food sales grew 7.7 percent in 2010 to $28.6 billion.

Jun 18, 2010 – The US has seen “phenomenal” growth in organic food products in the past year

Organic Food Sales Hit Record in 2011; Sales Jump 15-20 Percent

Apr 24, 2012 - The organic industry showed signs of breaking free from the effects of the recession in 2011. U.S. organic food sales of $29.2 billion in 2011 marked an increase of more than 9% from $26.7 billion in 2010, according to the Organic Trade Association’s 2012 Organic Industry Survey released April 23. Organic food share grew to 4.2% of total food sales in 2011, which was up from 4% in 2010 and compared with 1.4% in 2001.

Dave Dewhurst and others have been distributing inexpensive, simple orgonite throughout Australia for some years, now, rendering the supposedly benign ‘weather radar’ arrays all along the coasts unable to perform their actual, malefic function: using Dead Orgone Radiation to stop rain, create drought and perform other ill-intended feats of weather engineering.

Australia’s inland sea, Lake Eyer, which is the size of Wyoming, has been full for three years in a row. It has only been full 3 times in the last 150 years. Birds have turned up from as far away as Russia and Japan.

Floods Create Wildlife Boom

December 2, 2010

Sydney, Australia Morning Herald: "A once-parched flood plain has become a bustling ”mini Kakadu” after farmers used irrigation infrastructure to mimic Murrumbidgee flows, writes Debra Jopson.

In a remote reach of NSW, a city of birds has suddenly appeared, building prime waterfront residences in which to pamper their young and feasting on a smorgasbord that floods and rain have brought to the Murrumbidgee. A wildlife boom inspired by an abundance of water has turned the Lowbidgee flood plain into a noisy, bustling ”mini Kakadu” as about 20,000 ibises and thousands of other waterbirds including spoonbills and musk ducks make their nests on wetlands which until recently were parched by drought and dams.

”If you had been here 12 months ago you would have seen it at its absolute worst. It was a moonscape,” said Michael Spinks, a member of a group of landholders on this flood plain between Hay and Balranald. They use irrigation infrastructure to channel environmental flows to keep the birds happy, mimicking the flows of the mighty Murrumbidgee before it was dammed.

29

Type the words “increased rainfall” into your search engine and you will experience a (pun-intended) flood of misinformation telling you that GLOBAL WARMING is causing the increase - with a few half-hearted ‘the Clean Air Act did it!’ stories thrown in for good measure. In one of the most humorous stories, the cooler, rainier clime in Northern Australia we were just discussing was promptly attributed to it being driven by ‘warming in the pacific ocean’ nearby.

I’m guessing you might have noticed the ‘it’s hiding in the ocean!’ tactic that the liars and scoundrels have been forced to retreat to vis a vis ‘global warming’, given that even their own deviously-placed collection instruments (next to heat sources wherever possible) show flat temperatures and even cooling over the last ten years.

[http://toryaardvark.com/2013/01/04/ther]

There Is No Link Between Rising Temperatures And Increased Rainfall

“In viewing the three portions of the above figure, it can readily be seen that from approximately 1939-2009, there were no significant trends in any of the three precipitation parameters over that seven-decade interval, when the bulk of the global warming most recently experienced by the Earth has been claimed by climate alarmists to have been unprecedented with respect to the past millennium or two. In addition, they note that the most intense events (those over the 90th, 95th and 99th percentiles) have small trends over the full period analyzed, which are rarely significant even on a local scale. And these sets of observations cast a huge amount of doubt upon climate-alarmist predictions of greater precipitation – including more intense precipitation extremes – occurring in tandem with rising temperatures.”

It’s beautifully cool and raining in perfect measure here in Pittsburgh, despite the ‘Nation Broils!’ neurolinguistic programming blasted from every media outlet. I was on a conference call yesterday and everyone parroted the Party Line, “can’t stand the heat!” and “can you believe how hot it is?” When in fact this weekend, early July, the high was a perfect, breezy 87, one of the nicest Summer days I can remember. For the record, I did use the Power of Utterance and rebutted them, saying just what I did in the preceding sentence. No one replied.

Life gets better when crops do well, or that’s the way it used to be, anyway, before lying scoundrels took control of the world’s economies and mainstream media organs in toto.

That said, witness the rising tide of a healing world taking the game away from the aforementioned liars and scoundrels:

2012 – The gross production value of all the county’s wine grape crops in 2012 was $821.3 million – an increase of 41 percent over the $581 million gross value in 2011

July, 2013 – the U.S. Department of Agriculture is estimating an average rice yield of 6,400 pounds per acre in Louisiana, overtaking the current record of 6,300 pounds,

31

Here, note particularly the firm assertion by the UN delegate that cool temperatures are caused by global warming . Black is white, ignorance is strength, indeed.

Meanwhile, the mainstream media is bravely trumpeting that it’s hot in Death Valley . Unfortunately for them, as DOR-based weather warfare apparatus continues to be rendered ineffective via the distribution of simple orgonite, it’s only a matter of time before the deserts of the American southwest are themselves regreened.

As all of the mainstream news outlets continue to tell me that ‘the Nation Broils!’, it’s unseasonably cool again today in Pittsburgh, and raining nicely.

You may have noticed that, more and more, all over the world, people of conscience are stepping up and publishing information that runs counter to baldfaced lies being told by their scoundrel employers. To me this is a very positive trend, because seeing evidence that a formerly trusted person or institution has in fact been serially lying casts them in their true light, that of a con artist. And a public that wakes up to the fact that it’s been conned is going to be difficult or impossible to trick in the same way in the future.

Draft UN climate report shows 20 years of overestimated global warming

January 28, 2013

A preliminary draft of a report by the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was leaked to the public this month, and climate skeptics say it contains fresh evidence of 20 years of overstated global warming. The report – which is not scheduled for publication until 2014 – was leaked by someone involved in the IPCC’s review process, and is available for download online.

A chart comparing the four temperature models the group has published since 1990 (shows that)… each has overstated the rise in temperature that Earth actually experienced.

33

In the World’s Most Important Movie, ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ (which for some reason never shown on TV), Al Gore said: “Now I’m going to show you, recently released, the actual ocean temperature. Of course when the oceans get warmer, that causes stronger storms. We have seen in the last couple of years, a lot of big hurricanes.”

One positive change you may have noted that is occurring is that global hurricane activity has decreased to the lowest level in 30 years . Perform a search on this forum and read about the distribution of simple orgonite in the Caribbean, and the scuttling of the DOR-based weather weaponry previously used to great success to augment and steer those storms. Here’s one such link for your convenience:
[http://www.ethericwarriors.com/ip/viewt]

Just two years later, needing to answer for the dropping hurricane numbers, the National Geographic scrambled in the opposite direction: “Global warming reducing hurricanes in U.S., report says - a new report concludes that global warming is diminishing the number of hurricanes that strike Florida and the rest of the United States. Warmer oceans are producing stronger crosswinds that tend to suppress the development and growth of hurricanes. “We found a gentle decrease in the trend of U.S. landfalling hurricanes as global oceans warmed up," said Chunzai Wang, an oceanographer and climate scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Some previous studies found that global warming was increasing the number and intensity of hurricanes, a conclusion that supported the conventional wisdom that warmer seas automatically turbocharge hurricane development.”

O.k., I’ve visited the Ministry of Truth for my reeducation, I’m with the program. But, wait, now, what’s this? From USA Today, two days ago: "Storm warning: Climate change to spawn more hurricanes.”

So, wait, I’m confused - is Global Warming er I mean ‘Climate Change’ causing more, or less hurricanes? What a tangled web we weave, when we practice to deceive!

June, 2013: Beware deadly hurricane season, researcher warns
June, 2013: Hurricane Season 2013: Experts Expecting More Bad Storms
June, 2013: Hurricane season likely to be ‘extremely active,’ say meteorologists - Meteorologists say the confluence of warm tropical waters and the slim chance of a cyclone-suppressing El Niño event may fuel three to six major hurricanes over the course of the summer

Oh, boy, here comes Tropical Storm Chantal! Media frothing…yesterday, CBS News: “Not yet a hurricane, but Chantal still wreaks havoc in Caribbean - The storm may grow to hurricane strength when it reaches the island of Hispaniola, consisting of the Dominican Republic and Haiti, on Wednesday, according to the Hurricane Center. Chantal is the first storm of what is expected to be a busy hurricane season, which begins June 1st and lasts through the end of November.”

Wow, they’re really pulling for her to increase in strength, aren’t they? ‘not yet!’, ‘going to be a busy hurricane season!’

This is from a Miami newspaper, this morning: “ Weaker Tropical Storm Chantal may be breaking up - Tropical Storm Chantal, weakening significantly overnight, has likely dissolved into a far less dangerous but still very wet mess of storms. At 8 a.m. Wednesday, the National Hurricane Center said that Chantal’s maximum winds had dropped 20 mph to 45 mph and the storm may have lost the closed circulation that defines a tropical cyclone. A Hurricane Hunter plan has been dispatched for a closer look but the prognosis was poor.”

Yet, still bravely keeping up the front, USA Today posted this three hours ago: “Tropical Storm Chantal roars toward DR, Haiti”

Rest assured, these people will go out of town on a rail, tarred and feathered. Keep distributing simple orgonite and spreading the good news.

34

I don’t think Monty Python could reach the level of comedy of those guys!

"A Hurricane Hunter plan has been dispatched for a closer look but the prognosis was poor.” ; I can almost see them frown!

Great work, Jeff - please, keep them coming!
Carlos

35

but they never mentioned a word about the full scale hurricane just off the coast of New York on 911.

36

Re: 9/11, yes, it must have been an exciting time for them, late 1900’s, early 2000’s. Hurricane Andrew, 1992, was a real tour de force of DOR-based weather weaponry. It would be almost a decade before the widespread distribution of simple orgonite would cause their mojo to “no longer worky”, to quote Don Bradley from 2003 or so.

In 1998, a friend and I stood on his back porch and marvelled at the sunset, and some gigantic thunderheads. The gist of our conversation was ‘my God, some kind of amazing positive transformation is underway!’ We both saw and thought the same thing - we’d never seen a sky that beautiful, heavenly. That was the year the spray planes started coming over our town, and then it got ugly, fast, as Don alluded earlier in the thread. White skies, trees covered in weird green fuzz/scum, drought followed by pelting rain.

The movie ‘Finding Forrester’ was released in 2000, and it was the first film I knew of in which they digitally replaced the sky. The sky was so amazingly messed up with the nonstop spraying they couldn’t show it in a film without people being jarred to awareness, I guess. Funny, just like ‘An Inconvenient Truth’, it’s a movie you never see on TV.

Throughout my youth I was fascinated by Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster and such things but thought ‘people who believed in conspiracy stuff are paranoid’ and ‘who’d waste their time reading that stuff?’ I was addicted to disinformation websites in the early 2000’s. Read about CB’s in 2002 or so, and thought “I don’t GET it” and “are these people FOR REAL?” Started buying TB’s from DB and gifting my town in 2003. started pouring in 2005.

So somehow I think that there is some major positive transformation underway and that all the DOR-based etheric/energetic shenanigans we’ve been seeing have been a last-ditch effort to stop it. Last year or two? Man, I think the scoundrels have a runaway train on their hands. Peace train, sounding louder…everyone jump upon the Peace Train. Yes, it’s the Peace Train.

balderdash, noun, stupid or illogical talk; senseless rubbish

Note, as part of the ongoing trend we’ve been discussing, the disparity between the more-negative, media-painted picture and the actual, more-wholesome reality. Note also the fact that the rate of the decrease is speeding up, and finally note the fact that the amoral mainstream media shills attempt to pin the decrease on ‘the economy’:

[http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2010/08/] /
August, 2010

the divorce rate is at its lowest point since the early 1970s. And infidelity has continued to decline.

“It runs counter to this image people have of Tiger Woods and divorce,” Prof. Bradford Wilcox, director of the National Marriage Project, says. “They get a sense from the media that divorce is prevalent but the reality is we’re not experiencing divorce that way.”

As the downturn wears on, the divorce rate decreased more from 2008 to 2009 than from 2007 to 2008. Legal fees, a dreary real-estate market and other economic malaise might be causing some couples to hold off from divorcing. Others may be banding together in tough times.

4% drop in soda drinking, see all the needles moving, moving. All of the shrill ‘sugar is sugar!’ advertising desperateness aside, more and more people are discovering that high-fructose corn syrup is bad for you, and are choosing not to consume it.

NEW YORK (AP) — Coca-Cola says its profit dipped in the latest quarter, as the world’s largest beverage maker blamed bad weather and challenging economic conditions for weak volume growth

Coca-Cola’s shares fell nearly 3% in premarket trading. It is one of the 30 stocks in the benchmark Dow Jones industrial average.

The Atlanta-based company, which makes Sprite, Powerade and Dasani, says global volume rose 1% in the period. But in its flagship North American market, volume declined 1%, including a 4% drop in sodas.

India bans captive dolphin shows, says dolphins should be seen as ‘non-human persons’

in a bold move to protect the well-being of dolphins, India has moved to ban dolphin shows – a push that helps elevate their status from creatures of mere curiosity to one that borders more closely to that of personhood.

In so doing, India became the largest of four countries to ban the practice – which includes Costa Rica, Hungary, and Chile. But the ministry didn’t stop there; their thoughtful reasoning behind the ban seems squarely aimed at the dozens of countries across the globe, like in Europe and the United States, where dolphin shows are big business.

“Whereas cetaceans in general are highly intelligent and sensitive, and various scientists who have researched dolphin behavior have suggested that the unusually high intelligence; as compared to other animals means that dolphin should be seen as ‘non-human persons’ and as such should have their own specific rights and is morally unacceptable to keep them captive for entertainment purpose,” reads the ministry’s statement.

In the U.S., similar efforts on the part of animal rights organizations have failed to gain traction in courts, leaving the door open for both dolphins and orcas to be held in captivity and paraded for our entertainment. The stark realities of this life, held in small pools on the grounds of marine parks, can best be seen from overhead – as with this facility in Florida, a stone’s throw from animals’ vast ocean habitat.

It’s no wonder then, that India’s move to abolish captivity for dolphins is being looked upon, among animal rights supporters, as a big step in the right direction.

“This is a huge win for dolphins,” says Ric O’Barry of the Earth Island Institute’s Dolphin Project. "Not only has the Indian government spoken out against cruelty, they have contributed to an emerging and vital dialogue about the ways we think about dolphins – as thinking, feeling beings rather than pieces of property to make money off of.”
