2)There is this European Union website http://ec.europa.eu/health/opinions2/en/electromagnetic-fields/l-2/9-environmental-effects.htm
Why is there no apparent connection between 1) and 2) ?
Moreover, Tina Kelley asserts there is no connection between the disappearing bats and bees.

December 29, 2007
Tens of millions of the most common birds in North America have disappeared, and their absence is signaling a silent alarm bell about the state of our ecosystem.
According to a report by the National Audubon Society, the numbers of some species of birds have plummeted by 60 percent to 80 percent. Read the rest of this entry »

In a Fortune interview, noted climatologist John Christy contends the green crusade to fight climate change is “all cost and no benefit.”NEW YORK (Fortune) — With Congress about to take up sweeping climate-change legislation, expect to hear more in coming weeks from John Christy, director of the Earth System Science Center at University of Alabama-Huntsville. A veteran climatologist who refuses to accept any research funding from the oil or auto industries, Christy was a lead author of the 2001 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report as well as one of the three authors of the American Geophysical Union’s landmark 2003 statement on climate change.

| Dr Carlo Speaks: Radiation Is Killing the Bees Despite the Cell Phone Industry’s Disinformation Campaign |
| Von: Paul Doyon |

After the first news cycle, the mobile phone industry ‘hit squad’ went into action. First, they planted stories that cast doubt on the Einstein quote. Never before have I seen such a desperate attempt to distance a quote from a figure as revered as Albert Einstein. In the process, his name was besmerched. Very sad. Next, they conscripted scientists from a number of universities to begin going public with other explanations…viruses, bacteria, pesticides etc., etc., etc.. These alternatives have been making the rounds over the past month. The mobile phone industry is putting quite a bit of money into the pockets of these scientists by supporting their work regarding viruses and alternative explanations. The industry is dealing with it as a politics and public relations problem….thus, manipulation of the public perception is the appropriate remedy for them. Sadly, this is business as usual for the mobile phone industry. Read the rest of this entry »

http://www.pcouncil.org/bb/2008/0308/E1c_PC.pdf states
“EMF’s DO affect Salmon. All salmon fishermen know this and understand the importance of
monitoring and controlling the EMF around our vessels. We, as a fleet, spend thousands of
dollars every year to minimize and/or take advantage of the EMF produced by the low voltages
produced by the electrical systems on our vessels. Any unwanted electrical leakage in our
vessels’ systems has a strong negative impact on those vessels’ ability to consistently catch fish.
These vessel electrical charges and the resulting EMF’s are measured in Milli-volts and Milli-
amps. The Wave Energy Buoys will be operating at much higher voltage and amperage.
All of the concerns about EMF’s impacts on the species listed in this section of the FERC letter
also apply to Salmon. In addition, I have a deep concern that any unnatural, new EMF created by
Wave Energy Buoys will interrupt a Salmon’s ability to home on it’s natal stream and be
detrimental in the fishes’ ability to return home for spawning. Most of the proposed Buoy sites,
including the OPT site, are adjacent to the mouths of highly productive coastal Salmon streams. The question of Wave Energy Buoy produced EMFs’ affects on a Salmon’s homing
ability must be answered prior to siting and placement of buoys.”

WHERE HAVE ALL THE SALMON GONE?
Fewer Chinook salmon returning from the ocean to spawn in the rivers means that fishing will be closed for two successive years. What happened, and what role might Tuolumne and Calaveras counties play in restoring the salmon fishery?
In the fall of 2007, fish biologists counting the number of Chinook salmon returning from the ocean to spawn via the Sacramento River got an unwelcome surprise. Only 87,881 salmon were found in the river – way below the predicted 265,000, and below the minimum goal of 122,000 considered necessary for conserving the fishery. A year later, counts were even lower, with only 66,286 spawners found – the lowest number ever recorded. Read the rest of this entry »

Another causal explanation other than rain(butterflies tend to avoid
the rain) is electropollution https://inthesenewtimes.com/2009/04/29/the-birds-the-bees-and-mankind/

Have two wet summers rendered the butterfly extinct?
British butterflies have been declining steadily for years. The new statistics show that recent wet summers have accelerated these declines. Heavy rain makes it hard for butterflies to survive – they can’t fly in the rain and that means they can’t reach the nectar they feed on. Rain also reduces breeding success.
The relative absence of breeding during the dire summer of 2007, the wettest on record, impacted seriously on butterfly numbers last year.

The statistics confirm conservationists’ fears that 2008 was the poorest summer for butterfly numbers for more than 25 years.
For 12 species 2008 was their worst year since records began in the mid 1970s. Read the rest of this entry »

While ITNT has shown that bees are affected by electropollution , the case for pesticides has been hurled across the Mainstream media in recent documentaries and articles. Much of the Alternative media too seem to have concluded that the problem has been solved. Yet when we first investigated CCD we were struck by how beekeepers reported that pesticides caused piles of dead bodies outside the hive. This is not the case with CCD. This Spanish study raises strong doubts as well.
I have learned over the past decade if I want to know what’s really going on in the United States, I have to cruise through the foreign media to see what’s creating a furor or causing a stink. So, while searching for the status of Spain’s on-again, off-again criminal proceedings against six Bush Administration war criminals, this headline in Der Spiegel caught my eye — “Frankenfood Ban is Neither Populism nor Panic-Mongering.”

Rumours, spread by the medical community and big pharma, that Tamiflu can treat the Flu are just that, rumours.
Tamiflu is not here to help us fight the war on swine flu, bird flu or any other flu. It’s just another weapon being used in the war on humanity.
A new warning label has been added to the influenza drug Tamiflu following reports of delirium and hallucinations among people – mostly children – taking the medication. Read the rest of this entry »

“First of all, most agricultural crop production does not depend on pollinators. On top of that, while honey bees may be dwindling in some parts of the world, the number of domesticated bees world-wide is actually on the rise, their new report shows.
“The honey bee decline observed in the USA and in other European countries including Great Britain, which has been attributed in part to parasitic mites and more recently to colony collapse disorder, could be misguiding us to think that this is a global phenomenon,” said Marcelo Aizen of Universidad Nacional del Comahue in Argentina. “We found here that is not the case.”
says this recent report from Science daily
This plays down their earlier findings.
“Claire Kremen, an assistant professor at UC Berkeley’s Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management, is co-author of this new study.
“There’s a widely stated phrase in agriculture that you can thank a pollinator for one out of three bites of food you eat,” said Kremen, who is also a member of the Committee on Status of Pollinators that produced the NRC report and leader of a group at the National Center for Ecological and Analysis and Synthesis that co-sponsored the work. “However, it wasn’t clear where that calculation came from, so we set out to do a more thorough and reproducible estimate, and we wanted to look at the impact on a global scale.”
What the researchers found fell in line with the dictum to which Kremen referred. Out of the 115 crops studied, 87 depend to some degree upon animal pollination, accounting for one-third of crop production globally. Of those crops, 13 are entirely reliant upon animal pollinators, 30 are greatly dependent and 27 are moderately dependent.
The crops that did not rely upon animal pollination were mainly staple crops such as wheat, corn and rice.”. Science daily
The list of foods bees pollinate is here.
It includes alfalfa primary used as feed for dairy cattle—because of its high protein content and highly digestible fiber—and secondarily for beef cattle, horses, sheep, and goats.
Three quarters of food production (76%) is dependent on bees and 84% of vegetables grown in Europe depend on pollination.”
According to a National Geographic report accepted by the European parliament.
We are told by Science Daily that despite the problems of the US and Europe, the rest of the world is fit for bees. Yet this contradicticts this report from Argentina, which reports the problem is indeed global.
One wonders if the first piece of misinformation on the extent we use pollination is as false as the misinformation on how widespread the problem has become.
We are also in the last day of bee week in New Zealand.

The disappearance of wild bees isn’t particularly suggestive of a pesticide connection. Nor is this “let’s have more research to show why it’s pesticides” a particularly scientific approach. It’s a disappointing one from the Moray beekeepers who are perfectly aware of the EM radiation hypothesis as this article by beekeeper, Marion Lang, shows. I would have thought political correctness a scant compensation for the disaster we’ve got coming to us and that the failure of the experts to produce a coherent explanation for CCD was a good reason to consider all possibilities.
