The reckless depredations of corporate power and neo-Malthusian enthusiasts within the elite threaten our environment and our very survival. EM radiation,disappearing bees and pollinators, heavy metal toxicity, GM crops and soil depletion are amongst the most immediate dangers we face.

Judging from this extract from a Spanish study on CCD, the answer is no. Note that this Spanish team has been studying CCD since 1999, years before it officially came into existence.
From CCD: Considerations on its origin
Depopulation and treatment of sunflower seeds with pesticides
The toxicity of certain pesticides is the cause most often cited for bee losses. For the last six years we have studied the possible effects of certain pesticides such as imidaclopride(Gaucho) or fipronil(Regent), used in the treatment of sunflower seeds and the link to hive populations, following concerns in the sector about their use.

I welcomed the opportunity to represent the Autism Rights group at this
important event. Much of what I had to tell those who attended the Children’s
Session, Chaired by Sabina Frediani of Liberty was probably new to them. In
effect, my short talk was my own witness statement to violations of Human
Rights and Civil Liberties in relation to families, especially families with children
who are autistic or suffer from other disabilities; and unremitting retaliation by
the Government to prevent such violations being proven. The end result being
ongoing damage to families and their disabled children which one could never
imagine would happen in our so called advanced age.

Electromagnetic fields (EMF), in both ELF (extremely low frequency) and radio frequency (RF) ranges, activate the cellular stress response, a protective mechanism that induces the expression of stress response genes, e.g., HSP70, and increased levels of stress proteins, e.g., hsp70.

Elizabeth Barris, director of The Peoples Initiative Foundation, a new non profit organization, is on a mission to change the law and inform the public about the devastating health effects from EMR (electromagnetic radiation), which is emitted from cell phones and Wi-Fi.

Global exposures to emerging wireless technologies from applications including mobile phones, cordless phones, DECT phones, WI-FI, WLAN, WiMAX, wireless internet, baby monitors, and others may present serious public health consequences. Evidence supporting a public health risk is documented in the BioInitiative Report. New, biologically based public exposure standards for chronic exposure to low-intensity exposures are warranted. Existing safety standards are obsolete because they are based solely on thermal effects from acute exposures. The rapidly expanding development of new wireless technologies and the long latency for the development of such serious diseases as brain cancers means that failure to take immediate action to reduce risks may result in an epidemic of potentially fatal diseases in the future. Regardless of whether or not the associations are causal, the strengths of the associations are sufficiently strong that in the opinion of the authors, taking action to reduce exposures is imperative, especially for the fetus and children. Such action is fully compatible with the precautionary principle, as enunciated by the Rio Declaration, the European Constitution Principle on Health (Section 3.1) and the European Union Treaties Article 174.

OTTAWA — An international group of scientists is calling on Canada and other countries to bring in tougher safety standards for cellphone use after a Swedish team found a fivefold elevated risk of malignant brain tumours in children who begin using mobile phones before the age of 20.

This should come as no surprise given the known link between mobile phone use and brain tumours.
18th March, 2009
A national charity has today released figures that show more than 40,000 people affected by brain tumours are missing from the UK’s official statistics each year.

Relay antennas: a new judgement and a
ministerial crisis in France
19th March, 2009
In the face of widespread protest and numerous lawsuits there
is now a ministerial crisis in the country.
Apparently in the last few days the unconfirmed number of 135
lawsuits have been launched! In an effort to clarify the
situation, Next-up Organisation is putting out a countrywide
appeal in order to find out the exact number of lawsuits in
progress or about to be introduced.

International Scientists Find Harmful Effects from Wireless Technologies and Urge New Safety Rules for Cell Phones (This link opens a WORD document containing the press release below. The link to the Pathophysiology Web site is at the end of this document.)
Public health concerns and scientific evidence for risks from cell phones and other wireless devices is published today in the journal Pathophysiology. International researchers have urged quick precautionary action (see Section 17 of the BioInitiative Report) to address a possible epidemic of brain tumors and many other health risks. Over four billion people around the world now use cell phones. They are rapidly eliminating the use of traditional land-line phones throughout the world. Health researchers from six countries give findings in fifteen (15) chapters covering health risks to humans and wildlife from electromagnetic fields and radiofrequency radiation.
