astronauts became sick with colds or other infections within a week after returning from space. Some astronauts have also experienced reactivation of dormant viruses, such as the chickenpox virus.
...
Jordan Spatz, Ph.D., a space scientist and UCSF medical student who became co-PI of the study after Hughes-Fulford’s death, noted that “as space travel becomes increasingly commercialized and more common, concerns over the health status of space travelers are likely to grow.”

“Early in the space program, most astronauts were young and extremely healthy, but now they tend to have much more training and are older. In addition, apart from astronauts, with the commercialization of space flight, there will be many more older and less healthy individuals experiencing microgravity. From space medical perspective, we see that microgravity does a lot of bad things to the human body, and we are hoping to gain the ability to mitigate some of the effects of microgravity during space travel.

How about simply giving up space travel in the first place? Oh, I forgot: you are Westerners.....

Bird dies after getting tangled in coronavirus face mask:

Leave it to Western Civilization to screw up even face coverings. This is why I prefer cloth masks. BTW face coverings in non-Western countries long predate the invention of plastic masks, so the West should look to those cultures instead of promoting plastic masks because of "science".

Westerners and their hobbies:

Quote
An attempt at setting a world record for longest dirt-to-dirt motorcycle ramp jump has reportedly ended in tragedy.

Stuntman Alex Harvill, 28 years old, died Thursday while attempting a 351-foot motorcycle jump at the Moses Lake Airshow in Washington state's Grant County International Airport, according to the Columbia Basin Herald's Charles Featherstone.

The deadly crash reportedly occurred when Harvill landed short of the downward slope of the landing ramp on a practice run. While the bike stopped when it hit the ground, Harvill flew over the handlebars and another 20 feet before landing. His helmet reportedly flew off during the crash.

However, the problem is not solved:

Harvill is reportedly survived by his wife, Jessica, and children Willis, five years old, and Watson, a newborn.

Quote
For generations, marginalized communities in Canada have feared that heavy industry is slowly poisoning their air, land and water.

Aamjiwnaang First Nation, a small Indigenous reserve in Ontario surrounded on all sides by chemical facilities, has recorded anomalies in birth rates. Residents in Lincolnville, a Black community in Nova Scotia, suspect that a nearby landfill is the source of high cancer rates.

Ingrid Waldron, a sociology professor at Dalhousie University, has spent years interviewing residents of such communities, collecting data on environmental racism – the disproportionate presence of heavy industry and waste close to Black and Indigenous communities.

“It’s a term that brings them together with this collective shared experience around pollution and contamination in their community,” said Waldron, who turned the years of research into the book, There’s Something in the Water, and a documentary directed by actor Elliot Page.
...
In a visit to Canada, human rights expert Baskut Tuncak found “blatant disregard for Indigenous rights”.

“Canada has the financial ability and the technical capacity to do things better. It still lags behind many of its peers in terms of industrialized countries. When it comes to environmental performance, its record on compliance leaves a lot of room for improvement,” he previously told the Guardian.

But rightists will continue with their narrative that the reason why "non-whites" try to move into predominantly "white" neighbourhoods is because "whites" are "better neighbours".....

Quote
Hundreds of dead sea animals have washed up in Sri Lanka, weeks after a cargo ship carrying dangerous chemicals caught fire and sank.

The X-Press Pearl sank in early June off the coast of Colombo after it had been on fire for days.

The remains of 176 turtles, 20 dolphins and four whales have washed ashore since, a court has heard.

Experts fear the ship, which carried tonnes of oil in its tanks, will remain an environmental hazard for decades.

The X-Press Pearl had had been carrying 278 tonnes of bunker fuel oil and 50 tonnes of gas oil when it caught fire on 20 May. It was also carrying 25 tonnes nitric acid, along with other chemicals and cosmetics.

One environmental group had earlier said the ship's toxic cargo threatened to create "a chemical soup" in the area.

...
There is now growing anger in Sri Lanka that the ship was allowed to enter the country's waters.

The Russian captain of the vessel - who has been bared from leaving the country - appeared in court on Thursday although he yet has to be charged.

'Eye of fire' after underwater gas leak in Gulf of Mexico – video
Quote
An underwater gas leak caused a whirling vortex of fire to spew out of the ocean surface west of Mexico's Yucatán peninsula on 3 July. The fire began in an underwater pipeline connected to a platform owned by the state oil company Pemex. The fire took more than five hours to put out and no injuries were reported

So, which civilization is to blame for this?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipeline_transport

Quote
Credit for the development of pipeline transport is disputed,[citation needed] with competing claims for Vladimir Shukhov and the Branobel company in the late 19th century

Quote
Crystal meth is turning brown trout into drug addicts, a study has found.

The drug, also known as methamphetamine, is increasingly polluting waterways and researchers are investigating the impact it has on marine life.
...
Drugs reach waterways through a variety of routes. Improper disposal, such as being washed down a sink or toilet, is one, while the drugs can also invade the habitat of fish via the urine of people taking them, which re-enters the water system despite being filtered.

Which civilization is to blame?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphetamine#History,_society,_and_culture

Quote
Amphetamine was first synthesized in 1887 in Germany by Romanian chemist Lazăr Edeleanu who named it phenylisopropylamine;[203][227][228] its stimulant effects remained unknown until 1927, when it was independently resynthesized by Gordon Alles and reported to have sympathomimetic properties.[228]

Going back to the first link, so how do Western scientists research this? You guessed it: by getting even more fish addicted! (And of course cutting up their brains afterwards.) What else do you expect from Western civilization FFS?!

Quote
Researchers from the Czech Republic took 120 juvenile brown trout that were bred in captivity and kept them in two different tanks, each containing 60 fish and 350 litres of water.

One tank was then laced with methamphetamine to a concentration of one microgram per litre, a level often found in freshwater rivers in Europe and the UK.

Some water systems in the world have been found to be poisoned with amphetamine levels 25 times this.

The fish in the experiment stayed in their tanks for eight weeks before they were transferred to a different, drug-free aquarium.
...
Researchers also took samples from the brains of the fish to see how far the drug had permeated.

“Methamphetamine preference was positively correlated with levels of amphetamine residues in fish brains, suggesting that addiction is linked to the presence of this drug metabolite in nervous system tissue,” the researchers said.

“Amphetamine was only identified in brain tissue of exposed trout.”
...
A separate study recently found antidepressants are putting crayfish at increased risk of predators by making them more brazen. The crustaceans were found to spend more time searching for food – thereby putting themselves in danger – when water was polluted by Prozac.

For irony, check out this enemy headline:

https://vdare.com/posts/sailer-in-taki-s-magazine-no-forgiveness-for-1492-the-point-is-to-punish-whites-for-having-the-best-countries

No, the point is to punish "whites" for turning the entire planet into a toxic dump in ways that no one else could ever have imagined.

1 Billion Sea Creatures Cooked To Death In Canada In Record Pacific Northwest Heat Wave
...
As he discovered endless rows of gaping dead mussels, along with dead clams, snails, sea stars and barnacles on Vancouver’s Kitsilano Beach in late June, Harley said he was “stunned.”
...
Mussels can tolerate temperatures as high as 86 degrees Fahrenheit for short periods of time. But Harley and a colleague using a thermal imaging camera found temperatures as high as 122 degrees along the rocky shoreline of the Salish Sea.
...
The deaths are just the latest dramatic sign that the environment is suffering severe consequences from climate change, Harley said.

“If we don’t like it, then we need to work harder to reduce emissions and take other measures to reduce the effects of climate change,” he told the CBC.

Which civilization made emissions a significant phenomenon?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_Revolution#Effect_on_environment

Quote
The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain, and many of the technological innovations were of British origin.[3][4]
...
The emergence of great factories and the concomitant immense growth in coal consumption gave rise to an unprecedented level of air pollution in industrial centers; after 1900 the large volume of industrial chemical discharges added to the growing load of untreated human waste.[172]

Thought so.....

Bottled water:



Before we continue, which civilization is to blame for introducing PET into the world?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyethylene_terephthalate#History

Quote
PET was patented in 1941 by John Rex Whinfield, James Tennant Dickson and their employer the Calico Printers' Association of Manchester, England.

Yep, the same one as usual. Continuing:





And here is our enemies' reaction:

The upshot is always coming up with a new reason to guilt trip you and make you feel horrible.

To rightists, our pointing out of their bad behaviour is the problem, never their bad behaviour itself. This is why it is a waste of time trying to reason with them. We simply have to eliminate their bloodlines.

Close your eyes and open your ears. What do you hear? Do the sounds you hear bother you? And, more importantly, do you have control over those sounds? As more and more the population migrates to urban environments - the urban population of the world has quadrupled

The Longest Running US Oil Spill You've Never Heard Of
Quote
When Hurricane Ivan knocked over an offshore oil platform off the coast of Louisiana in 2004, oil started leaking into the Gulf of Mexico. The company that owned the platform went bankrupt and never had the well capped. It wasn't until 15 years later that the US Coast Guard hired Timmy Couvillion to use his specially designed containment device to start collecting the leaking oil. But to this day, the leak continues from America's longest running oil spill.

What The Rubber ‘Apocalypse’ Means For The U.S. Economy
Quote
The global economy now faces a rubber shortage because of multiple supply chain disruptions. "We could be on the cusp of a rubber apocalypse," Ohio State University professor Katrina Cornish told CNBC. Rubber producers are working against all odds: climate change, disease and the fight for shipping containers. The global rubber market was valued at nearly $40 billion in 2020, but one analysis predicts the natural rubber market could be worth nearly $68.5 billion by 2026.

Rubber is a critical raw material needed for car tires, personal protective equipment such as masks and gloves, and many more everyday products. Anytime you’re going anywhere, you’re using rubber. Now, supply chain disruptions have thrown the rubber industry into a tailspin.

“We could be on the cusp of a rubber apocalypse,” Ohio State University professor Katrina Cornish told CNBC.

Rubber producers are facing climate change, the Covid-19 pandemic, a destructive fungus and the fight for shipping containers.

The global economy remains dependent on Asia for 90% of the natural rubber supply. For example, the U.S. imported $140 million worth of natural rubber in March 2021 alone, according to Census data.

The global natural rubber market was valued at nearly $40 billion in 2020, and demand for rubber is expected to increase. One analysis predicts the natural rubber market could be worth nearly $68.5 billion by 2026. One reason for the increased demand? Car tires.

“We are using tires more and more,” Stefano Savi, director of the Global Platform for Sustainable Natural Rubber, told CNBC. “The amount of mileage that we’re going to do as a global population is definitely bound to increase, and that’s why the demand for rubber is really continuing to increase.”
