Lemmings in Norway hit by global warming: study
By Alister Doyle, Environment Correspondent

OSLO (Reuters)-Lemming numbers are dwindling in
Norway because of climate change, ending a
historic cycle of population booms and busts that
inspired a myth of mass suicides by the rodents,
scientists said on Wednesday.

Fewer lemmings-small brown, black or yellowish
mammals-in the mountains of south Norway meant
predators such as the Arctic fox were forced to
eat other prey including grouse and ptarmigan
birds.

Climate Change and Fresh-Water Fish

EXCERPTS

Changes in the number, size and representativeness of fished species  have been
observed for approximately 20 years.

It appears that the proportion of South-living and warm-water fish in  French rivers
has increased from 20% and 40%, respectively, to 50%  between 1979 and 2004. Whereas
large numbers of these small fish tend  to become predominant within the
communities, large fish, more sensitive to the temperature increase, tend to
disappear little by  little.

ARE ZIONISTS BACKING A 4 PRONGED PLOT TO TRAP US IN PALESTINIAN-STYLE ENCLAVES? – Lobbying, Media Relations, Fund Raising & Government  – for our land and resources

MNN. Nov. 4, 2008. Obama’s election can’t solve everything. Colonialism has left a complex and troubling legacy. We have to work together to solve it. There’s no quick fix. We have to stop the post-911 psychomania that has tried to make fascism a necessity? 

Panic and fear produce strange reactions. After MNN’s November 1 story about training of Ontario police on Israeli security tactics, an MNN staff received a strange call from “Pres. and L. Bush” with no message. Another MNNer was followed by a strange “cop” looking woman and photographed. The colonial Mohawk police visited another staff member’s home with a bunch of papers in hand. Then a few choppers circled over Katenies’ house. Finally a strange wooden sculpture was left in front of the MNN publishers house.  All within a 24-hour period.
