Avian Flu Updates

Even though I try to post daily updates for the spread of H5N1 on the "Animal Death and Disease Log for 2012," I want to provide this link so that you can check the progression of the disease yourself.  H5N1 and all its variants are horribly insidious.  (Click on the title for the link.) 

The Next Bump in the Bumpy Plateau

I have never believed that a sudden, all encompassing, and acute “collapse” would occur on a global basis after the world reached global peak oil.  I do believe, however, in the inevitable decline of functioning economies that present in fits and starts in reaction to having passed peak oil.  What looks like credit, housing, unemployment, hunger, and governing crises, are in reality the world’s attempts to reset to the restrictions placed upon it by the continuous reduction of cheap energy.     

White Nose Syndrome

Just a quick update... 

White nose syndrome, responsible for the death of over over 5.5 million bats has been found and confirmed in Maryland.

Watch this one closely.
