Scream of the Environment 2020

Either...

Obituary

 

The first international conference on nature conservation took place in Bern (Switzerland) as early as 1913. The result, to establish a functioning development process for the conservation of our nature, was not only missed, but mankind has irretrievably destroyed a large part of nature since this conference. Many animal and plant species are already extinct or threatened with extinction, the ecosystem Earth is endangered.

 

Industrial corporations, accompanied by corruption, are oriented towards growth and profit. In order to keep up on the world market, their production and manufacturing processes are predominantly subject to the use of the cheapest and most environmentally harmful raw materials; pure poison for our environment. Agreements made to protect the environment are neglected.

Information gaps, lack of knowledge or environmental awareness lead to many large corporations and lobbyists being able to further expand their power. The health of humans and nature is secondary for them; only profit counts.

 

We must clearly distance ourselves from such practices.

 

...or

Resurrection?

 

It seems that most people do not take the time to actually search for news, information and reports on our environment. We all have our daily problems to solve, the news is full of information about political decisions that no one can comprehend or even agree with. This kind of information dominates our thoughts and there is no time left for research and studies about current developments in our environment.

 

That’s when the idea was born to ask for your support. As Guardians of the Environment, we all have an obligation to fulfil. One of them is to disseminate updates and reports on the current environmental situation worldwide through our newsletter.

 

Help us collect this news to share with our readers and members worldwide.

Real Environmental Problems

-just to name a few-

Considerations on the Topic: Recycling of Photovoltaics and its Impact on our Environment and human Health
by: The-Environmentalist
21 January 2022

Downfall Photovoltaics

Fine dust particles are extremely sharp-edged after shredding photovoltaic modules; with their smooth surface, they provide a docking station also for biological pollutants. The hazards are described in detail in this report.

 

Are currently common dust masks necessary and do they really help to protect against fine dust and thus against diseases? Or do they have the opposite effect and impair the human immune system?

Considerations on the Topic Air Pollution

What do we inhale every day?

Air Pollution

What is the biggest Environmental Threat Today?

 

Without any doubt: The human being. Man has been entrusted with the four elements of our Earth; all four elements will be inexorably destroyed.

​

The four elements can destroy and perish, but they can also become carriers of well-being. Our action is the administration of the four elements, in the true sense of our air, our water, our earth and the fire.

Considerations on the TopicIs carbon dioxide a climate killer?

15 December 2021

Climate Killer ohne Rahmen.png

During this research, we very quickly realised: caution should be exercised, doubt and suspicion are advisable.

​

CO2 is predominantly stated in ppm (parts per million), but it is also calculated in mg/m³. At high gas densities and saturated vapour, however, gases can no longer be used as ideal gases for calculations. The mole as the SI unit of the quantity of a substance is used, among others, to indicate the quantity in chemical reactions.

Considerations on the TopicPhotovoltaics

PV ohne Rahmen.png

We humans find ourselves in a hypermodern spaceship on an ominous journey. The completion of the spaceship and the start of this journey began hastily and unprepared. Disoriented, we are gliding through the space of time of modern technologies without having completed the necessary research and development work.

 

Serious mistakes were and are covered up, even worse: they are presented as the "non plus ultra" by the scientific community, which participates with its expertise in the lucrative market of political consultancy.

For many years, The-Environmentalist has been studying the advantages and disadvantages, as well as the effects of photovoltaics on our environment, with a sobering result. Is this technology, which is repeatedly used by politicians to improve election results, shaped and delegated by lobbyists, in the interest of the corporate companies? He has researched this topic with the desire to publish factual and logical results. For this purpose, he has read and saved material of several 10,000 DIN A4 pages; with the aim of keeping this report as short as possible.

 

To summarise the result - combined with his personal opinion: If he had the chance, he would banish photovoltaic immediately, and forever.

Considerations on the Topic: The Interaction between CO2 and Climate Change
by: The-Environmentalist
16 June 2021

CO2 Climate Change?

Is CO2 responsible for climate change, or the warmth caused and released into the atmosphere by humans?

Does this warming additionally regenerate higher CO2 levels?

​

Whether statements, assessments or assumptions about climate change are published; it must be possible to show one's findings from observations and evaluations without being labelled a negative thinker, a lateral thinker or even a right-wing radical and being socially condemned without any grounds.

However, the reality of climate change has reached everyone. Statements and publications must be critically questioned...

However, while the WHO published 7 million deaths from air pollution in 2018, the actual numbers are increasingly alarming, according to Medical News Today, published on March 30, 2020:

 

"New research has found that air pollution is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, far surpassing smoking, malaria, and other significant factors

 

The study found that air pollution is one of the major global causes of death. The researchers estimate that during 2015, around 8.8 million people died as a consequence of air pollution. This represents the shortening of global life expectancy by almost 3 years, on average."*2

Nuclear Disasters

Chernobyl copy

On April 26, 1986, the Chernobyl nuclear power plant experienced a super disaster. The reactor shell explodes, debris and radioactive material are hurled outwards and a nuclear cloud spreads over large parts of Europe.

The biggest nuclear disaster since the Chernobyl meltdown could have been avoided. This is the conclusion of a study about history, design and safety measures of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
