On this edition of Enviro:

John and the team discuss

• The Fukushima Nuclear disaster-We referred to The fact that this nuclear station was build on a known fault line by General Electric who have a very poor record environmentally. Some of the facts-are set out in the website www.kicknuclear.com
• Chemtrails– ‘What are Chemtrails and How Are They Harming Our Food and Water’? Se Ty Bollinger “Just when you thought Monsanto was under wraps, you find out they’re up to something even more horrific. What’s even worse is that it all started a long time ago”!

“In the late 1960s Monsanto supported the secret Maud’ Dib Geoengineering Lab to develop “chemtrail” technology; their crown jewel program to protect earth from global warming via weather control. Sounds so humanitarian, right? Wrong! Most folks discover the reality of “chemtrails” by initially reading about it online and then going outside, looking up into the sky, and noticing the crisscrossing streaks of white clouds trailing behind jet aircraft, stretching from horizon to horizon, eventually turning the sky into a murky haze. Chemtrails are like science fiction turned reality. I once thought they were harmless condensation trails in the sky, but after further investigation, not anymore! In this article I’ll answer the question “what are chemtrails?” I’ll share the effects of chemtrails on your environment, food, water and their connection to cancer. This information is meant to increase your awareness of the toxicity in our environment and encourage you to eliminate toxins that are within your control whenever and wherever you can”.

The program quoted from a two page excellent article which appeared in the Daily Express Friday July 6th 2018 entitled ‘Brutal…how plastic is killing off Arctic wildlife’ by john Ingham and Jonathan Buckmaster about a settlement called Svalbard.

Reference was also made to the astonishingly positive response to Sir David Attenborough’s Planet 11 which was covered in an article in the Daily Telegraph on the 23rd. June 2018-07-09. The program also pointed out that air pollution is responsible for the development of some forms of Diabetes and this is now well documented.

The listeners were made aware of the Court case coming up on Monday 16th. July about Coillte’s use of what are alleged to be persistent carcinogens that damage the immune system. Hearing taking place in the Court of Appeal, the Four Courts July 16, 10.30 am. This is a very historic case and should be of interest to all citizens of Ireland and elsewhere. Please attend this case if you have the time.

Reference was made to the fact that in the US there are many environmental and humanitarian groups fighting the measures designed to damage both. Not least NRDC The Natural Resources Defence Council and their very detailed newsletter setting out the achievements in fighting damaging policies on a case by case basis. Pruitt who was head of the EPA has just been sacked, something to be celebrated. But Ryan Zinke the Interior Secretary is equally culpable from an environmental point of view, by opening up vast areas of protected land and ocean for drilling and development reversing progress that had been made under Obama.
