What Science is Telling Us About Climate Change
( I haven't browsed this yet. If you know my thoughts on climate science, you know I think hype is in. How about some feedback on this post...which looks promotional )
Today is CowBoss' birthday. He hasn't deigned to frequent Care2 after finding vegetarianism promoters have no use for ethical meat animal proponents...tiring of complaints. Missing his input, I decided it was time for a visit. After all, the last really big going over was Aug 13 2009 !

WARNING WARNING --- Sewage Sludge Being Sold at RONA Home & Garden
What Sludge Watch has to say ~ Milwaukee continues to struggle with PCB contamination into Milorganite by Maureen Reilly
While the Milwaukee Municipal Sewerage District brags that they can sell their dried sewage sludge as "Milorganite", the Milwaukee auditors found that turning Milwaukee's sewage sludge into this 'fertilizer' is the most expensive disposal method on their list of possible management venues.Imagine just how much more "Milorganite" is going to cost the taxpayers of Milwaukee as the lawsuits start and the clean up gets underway.
Meanwhile, the lawyers at Milorganite are lobbying the Canadian government to relax the Fertilizer Act to give sludge fertilizers easier passage into this country. With the massive contamination of Milwaukee sewers with PCBs and the closure of countless parks and school fields with contaminated Milorganite, you'd think that Milorganite people would acknowledge the danger posed by their sludge 'product' rather than trying to strip away regulations that protect the public.
The PCB contents in the land spread Milorganite material went undetected until after spreading. Who know what other toxins continue to be found in the sewerage that goes into Milorganite?
In the public interest, and in the name of taxpayer liability, isn't it time to close down Milorganite?
- The past couple of years, the City of Milwaukee has had repeated episodes of high levels of toxic, bioaccumulative PCBs and lead in their sludge "biosolids" In September 2008 the US EPA issued a report listing EMERGING CONTAMINANTS OF CONCERN IN SLUDGE "BIOSOLIDS" AND WASTEWATER. Included were endocrine disrupters, drugs and personal care products, nanomaterials, fluorinated compounds, and pathogens including PRIONS. Milwaukee promotes its Class A sludge biosolids "Milorganite" as being pathogen free. It is not, because PRIONS ARE PATHOGENS. Univ. of Wisconsin researchers found infectious human and animal prions survive up to 3 years in soil and become 680 times more infectious when bound to dirt. Human prions are 100,000 times more difficult to inactiavate than animal prions. An infectious dose is measured in molecules. Recently, researchers at UC Santa Cruz announced that Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a prion disease. Thus, 5.3 million US Alzheimer's victims may be shedding infectious prions in their urine and feces to public sewers. The wastewater treatment process does NOT inactivate prions, They are concentrated in the sludge. http://sludgevictims.com/pathogens/prion.html Milwaukee area sewage plants should focus on using their toxic, pathogenic sludge biosolids as a renewable resource to generate power and energy, and keep it off agricultural land and out of home gardens. http://sludgevictims.com/clean-alternatives.html http://www.usludgefree.org/basic.htm http://www.usludgefree.org/alternatives.htm http://www.usludgefree.org/AlternativesChart.pdf http://sludgevictims.com/documents/ALTERNATIVES_DE_09_UPDATE.doc http://sludgevictims.com/documents/ALTERNATIVE2009III.doc ( Prions ... prion diseases are also called transmissible spongiform encephalopathies or TSEs. i.e. in cattle 'Mad Cow' .....A few molecules of a PrPSc form of the Sup35 protein, when introduced into yeast cells, convert the yeast cell's own Sup35 protein into prion aggregates. The resulting "disease" phenotype is then passed on to the cell's daughters.)
Factory Farms Suck "Big Time"
Fires in factory farms are taking a heavy toll

Canadian Water Supply Contaminated by Radioactive Waste
Something horrible is happening in Canada and most Canadians probably aren’t even aware of it.
An epidemic of factory farm fires have blazed across this country over the past several years, resulting in untold tens of thousands of animals being burned alive.
Did you know 51,500 animals died in factory farm fires in this country in 2009? That figure is up considerably from 3,700 in 2007 and 30,500 in 2008.
Exposing Powertech's Uranium Corp.'s Plans for Mining near Nunn, Weld County, Colorado
NEW NRC STOPS REVIEW OF SAFETY PORTION OF DEWEY-BURDOCK PERMIT APPLICATION
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff take six pages to detail deficiencies in Blubaugh's responses to NRC requests for information; Powertech requests meeting with NRC to discuss issues; NRC sets open meeting for April 7
According to the exhibit, some of the newly identified mine workings appear to be within or in close proximity to proposed wellfield areas. Their exact location (horizontally and vertically), size, and effect on newly proposed project operations were not provided.
- The applicant did not specifically identify those chemicals used in uranium processing that have the potential to impact radiological safety.
- Applicant provided information related to airborne uranium, but did not address radon and daughters as requested in the RAI.

EPA WITHDRAWS UNDERGROUND INJECTION PERMIT FOR PROPOSED AQUIFER PUMP TEST
Withdrawal of final UIC Class V permit issued to Powertech on December 3, 2010 is in response to two petitions for review filed in January; EPA will revise and reissue a new draft permit "within the next several weeks", and the new permit will include a public review and comment period
Posted February 7, 2011, Updated February 11, 2011
"Agency withdraws Powertech test permit - Details left out; EPA to reissue it after making fixes" - by Bobby Magill, Fort Collins Coloradoan - February 11, 2011 In a related news release from the EPA, the Region 8 office in Denver says it will make revisions and issue a draft Class V UIC permit to Powertech within the next several weeks. In accordance with EPA regulations, following publication of the draft permit decision there is a public notice period that runs a minimum of 30 days. During this time, anyone may request that the EPA hold a public hearing to provide further opportunity for commentors to provide objections or information regarding the proposed permit. If the EPA determines that there is a sufficient reason for a hearing, a notice of the hearing must be issued for a minimum period of 30 days. Posted March 5, 2011, Updated March 6, 2011

ANSWER OF THE COLORADO MINED LAND RECLAMATION BOARD - POWERTECH (USA) INC., A SOUTH DAKOTA CORPORATION, Plaintiff, v. STATE OF COLORADO MINED LAND RECLAMATION BOARD AND MIKE KING, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, Defendants. DISTRICT COURT, CITY AND COUNTY OF DENVER, COLORADO - January 25, 2011 (PDF 45 KB, 9 pages) Not surprisingly, the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board flatly denies Powertech's claims that the board's adoption of the new uranium mining rules was arbitrary and capricious, beyond statutory and constitutional authority, in violation of procedural requirements and otherwise contrary to law. Interestingly, the MLRB denies Powertech's assertion that it "owns" the Centennial Project because the board "has insufficient knowledge and information to admit or deny that Plaintiff owns such project." What the MLRB probably doesn't know is that, in fact, Powertech does not control large portions of what it refers to as the Centennial Project. For many sizable parcels of land that are included in maps of the proposed project area, Powertech has been unable to negotiate surface use agreements with landowners. While Powertech may own all or some fraction of the mineral rights, it does not own or control these parcels.
