BellingenNSWStop logging native forests in a climate and biodiversity emergency Pt 1
Logging NSW native forests - How is the air pollution and greenhouse pollution monitored?
Logging operations by NSW State Forestry involve road enlargements lasting months before the actual extraction takes place. The forests paths are trailblazed to push the huge and heavy machinery into biodiversity habitats. All this is done with fossil fuel-powered heavy-duty vehicles and machinery. These actions contribute to the emission and/or creation of health-harming air pollutants and greenhouse gases.
“Heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) disproportionately contribute to the creation of air pollutants and emission of greenhouse gases—with marginalized populations unequally burdened by the impacts of each.”
Traffic-related pollution leads to premature deaths through direct air pollution.
“Traffic-related pollution can trigger a variety of health problems, including asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, heart disease and ultimately premature death. Air pollution from heavy-duty vehicles is higher in urban settings, in areas close to interstate highways and along truck routes.”
Climate disruption leads to weather extremes and disasters (bushfires, floods, drought and heatwaves) All involves human suffering, and impoverishing the web of biodiversity.
These 'extras' or externalities are not on any balance sheet. The robbing of habitat and the associated impacts on residents and wildlife deminish the web of life.
There seems to be no monitoring of the pollution cause inside wildlife habitats, the human habitat (Bellingen/ Gleniffer homes) and the global atmosphere. (Climate Change Detection and Attribution)

Put power lines underground
In NSW trees are easily declared a ''safety risk to electrical assets.” Trees and wildlife habitats are regularly vandalised with fossil fuels or eliminated.

Manly BlogStop blaming the climate for disasters - Accept responsibility
"Disasters occur when hazards meet vulnerability. We must acknowledge the human-made components of both vulnerability and hazard and emphasize human agency in order to proactively reduce disaster impacts.
Natural hazards such as floods, droughts and heatwaves become disasters as a result of societal vulnerability, that is, a propensity of people, societies and ecosystems to be harmed.
Here we argue that a discourse in which the role of human activity in disasters is clearly communicated—as opposed to blaming Nature or the Climate—will be more conducive to a proactive, equitable and ultimately successful approach to reducing impacts of disasters.
Pointing the finger at natural causes creates a politically convenient crisis narrative that is used to justify reactive disaster laws and policies"

CelloMom On Cars"#Massachusetts recently established a “#GreenBank” to help finance new #climate-friendly #AffordableHousing and retrofit existing #buildings so that they’re more #EnergyEfficient and #FossiFuel-free.
If you’re the type of person whose eyes glaze over at terms like “leverage private capital” and “de-risk loans,” here’s what you need to know."
"A new report by the #Australia Institute found #subsidies for #FossiFuel giants in federal and state budgets will soon cost #taxpayers 14 times more than the Disaster Ready Fund."
“Australian governments are now planning to spend more on exacerbating #ClimateChange through these subsidies than they are on getting ready for #climate #disasters.”
That does not sound like a smart policy.
A SUV (armoured vehicle) was unwilling to stop at the only pedestrian crossing today - a near fatal 'accident'.
Cavalcades of B-double trucks shooting through Bellingen #HydeStreet. A diesel generator pumping #FossiFuel to power the only traffic lights in #Bellingen. A forest of signs is ignored by all. Speeding of trucks and cars is not monitored on #RosesRd. It's the #WildWest... Roads are there to get 'stuff' out and smash a few more suburbs in.
Slow down at pedestrian crossings

Of course, "The #FossiFuel industry is really winding up the scare campaign in the face of increasingly urgent calls to accelerate the switch from #coal, #gas and #oil to a #CleanEnergy future."
They're telling lies, trying to cover up the fact that we're living the dystopia today, burning stuff that causes asthma, cancer, wildfires and floods.

The one hyped by the #FossiFuel industry:
"#BlueHydrogen: Almost universally, steam #methane reforming linked to carbon capture and storage. Despite significant hyperventilation and hand waving, to date not so much as one single molecule of blue hydrogen has ever been created."
They hype it, they can't hack it, they end up selling you their dirty #hydrogen: "grey" from fossil gas, or worse, "brown", from #coal. Without mitigation.
