8-19-22 The Russian government issued a dire warning this week as the U.S. and NATO continue pouring tens of billions of dollars worth of support and weaponry into Ukraine. In a statement, the Russian Embassy in the United States said the Biden regime’s ongoing support for Ukraine will eventually result in a “direct clash of nuclear powers” that will likely result in the destruction of the planet, or a major portion of it. “Today, the United States continues to act with no regard to other countries’ security and interests, which contributes to an increase in nuclear risks,” the embassy said in a statement on its Telegram channel.text/html1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00http://www.fourwinds10.net“Environmentally-Friendly Digital Children Who Will Not Deplete the Planet of Any of Its Natural Resources”

6-1-22 The overpopulation crisis could be solved within 50 years thanks to the evolution of “virtual children,” one of Britain’s leading artificial intelligence experts claims. Computer-generated babies that cost about $25 a month are likely to become commonplace by the early-2070s, according to Catriona Campbell. In addition to her expertise in AI, Campbell is also one of the UK’s top authorities in emerging and disruptive technologies, and a former UK Government adviser. She says by 2070, augmented reality (AR) and haptic “touch-sensitive” gloves will make the experience potentially “lifelike.” How will ‘virtual parenting’ work? Parents will see and interact with their offspring through next-generation AR glasses and haptic gloves.text/html1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00http://www.fourwinds10.netChina’s Massive Import of Timber Raises Alarm on Global Forest Industry

9-18-21 Sawmill industry in mortal danger: French wood manufacturers China’s recent years of dramatically purchasing log material have caused a survival crisis in the wood processing industries in many countries. French wood manufacturers have launched a petition calling on the EU to restrict the exportation of log material. “It’s time to wake up to the fact that European sawmills are now facing closures and liquidation if nothing is done to stop the hemorrhage that is taking place before our eyes,” states the “Stop Log Exports” petition, launched by French wood manufacturers. “The log supply crisis is already threatening downstream lines such as industry, crafts, construction, and logistics, which have to rely on imports from outside Europe due to a lack of raw materials.” “All the qualities of logs … even industrial logs for panels and paper are leaving by the shipload,” the French wood manufacturers said in the petition.text/html1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00http://www.fourwinds10.netScientists: Mass Extinction Is Coming as Organisms Flee the Equator

12-5-20 he current year marks the 15th anniversary of the U.S. shale boom, a period in which fracking technology across such states as Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, North Dakota, and Wyoming helped establish the nation as a top oil and gas producer. Unfortunately, high costs of production compared with conventional drilling has led to the sector consistently printing red ink and resulted in considerable destruction of shareholder value. The Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent oil price crash has led to investors souring on the industry further, credit becoming harder to come by, and a cross-section of Wall Street calling the end to the sector.text/html1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00http://www.fourwinds10.netChina Ramps Up U.S. Crude Oil Imports As Elections Near

2-28-20 Three of the most valuable metals in the world are so rare that they could become a factor in the difference between global technological dominance and military superiority on one hand, and the loss of superpower status on the other. Yet, for all their critical importance, even the most powerful nations are struggling to secure a stable supply. That's because one of these metals is so rare that total historical production wouldn't even cover your ankles in an Olympic-sized swimming pool The second is even rarer than the first. And the third … is so secretive that it's almost impossible to put a market price on it at all. #1 Platinum (Pt) This metal is as scarce as gold, representing .text/html1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00http://www.fourwinds10.netChina, USA and the Geopolitics of Lithium

Lopez, eastwindreplyctr@gmail.com Freelance blogger, retired columnist Philippine Daily Inquirer ORIGINAL POST – FACEBOOK PAGE “Eastwind Journals” / TIMELINE “Bernie Lopez” Back in my days as a journalist in the 80s, I met a fisherman on a beach in a sleepy village in Mindoro, Philippines, who was cleaning five large shells. When he saw my eyes almost popped out, he smiled and led me to a small shed where he kept about 40 more shells.text/html1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00http://www.fourwinds10.netCatastrophic Fresh Wave of Logging Threatens US National Forests
http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/environment/humans/natural_resource/news.php?q=1558105783
5-17-19 (April 12, 2017) A fresh wave of logging is hitting America’s national forests, writes Brett Haverstick. But this time it’s all for the sake of ‘forest health’ and ‘fire prevention’. It might look like industrial clear-cutting to you and me, but really, it’s in a good cause. And if the forests and precious ecosystems they harbor just happen to perish in the process … well ain’t that just too bad? National forests across the West are facing dire threats from politicians, the timber industry and the Forest Service. The public is currently being misled into thinking that our forests are ‘unhealthy’, and that they need to be ‘restored’ due to ‘beetle infestations’ and ‘insects and disease’.text/html1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00http://www.fourwinds10.netEarth Week

4-27-19 Monday, April 22 was Earth Day. We think Earth should be celebrated more than just once every 365 days. In fact, if we don’t start celebrating Earth—or at least respecting it—every day, we may have nothing left to celebrate. After the first designated Earth Day, April 22, 1970, Congress set up the U.S.
