It's time to save #whales again
July 22, House #NaturalResources #subcommittee, GOP Rep. #NickBegich (AK) introduced draft legislation that would scale back #MarineMammal Protection Act. Among other things, it would limit ability of #US gov to take action against “incidental take,” killing of whales, #dolphins and #seals by sonic blasts from #oil exploration, ship and boat strikes or by drowning as accidental catch (#bycatch) in #fishing gear.

A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

Of all the questions which can come before this nation, short of the actual preservation of its existence in a great war, there is none which compares in importance with the great central task of leaving this land even a better land for our descendants than it is for us, and training them into a better race to inhabit the land and pass it on. Conservation is a great moral issue for it involves the patriotic duty of insuring the safety and continuance of the nation.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)
Speech (1910-08-31), “The New Nationalism,” John Brown Memorial Park dedication, Osawatomie, Kansas

I did not understand why this article was entitled "Goodbye to Everest." Thought it was about climbing new, uncharted mountains in a different range. Nope, it's about the possibility of mining a large, newly discovered lithium deposit above 18,000 feet (5,500m) near the Qomolangma nature preserve — and Everest.

A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

Conservation means development as much as it does protection. I recognize the right and duty of this generation to develop and use the natural resources of our land; but I do not recognize the right to waste them, or to rob, by wasteful use, the generations that come after us. I ask nothing of the nation except that it so behave as each farmer here behaves with reference to his own children. That farmer is a poor creature who skins the land and leaves it worthless to his children. The farmer is a good farmer who, having enabled the land to support himself and to provide for the education of his children leaves it to them a little better than he found it himself. I believe the same thing of a nation.

🧵2/ In addition to golf courses, Alfalfa farming is very #water intensive, using much more of our valuable underground aquifer water to irrigate crops. Many of these alfalfa farms in the USA are either owned by Saudi Arabia - which uses our water then exports the alfalfa to the Middle East - or directly export their crops to foreign countries.

1.6 trillion gallons of water from the Colorado river goes into irrigation for alfalfa. Google's total water consumption across all data centers in 2023 was 6.4 billion gallons… #environment #NaturalResources #drought #conservation

Ferrallitisation (Biogeochemical cycle 🔄)

Ferrallitisation is the process in which rock is changed into a soil consisting of clay and sesquioxides, in the form of hydrated oxides of iron and aluminium. In humid tropical areas, with consistently high temperatures and rainfall for all or most of the year, chemical weathering rapidly breaks down the rock. This a...
