MooPig 12 Days of Doom Prep :: DAY TWO "Climate Refugees"

Doomed due to Climate, and other Algore-rhythms
By Pat Darnell | Dec 9, 2012 | Bryan TX

[Picture LINK] "...Back on April 11th, 2011, Gavin Atkins of Asian Correspondent asked this simple question: What happened to the climate refugees?..."


Seventy percent of the earth is covered by water. Most of the land is carved by water and wind to be watersheds. Eighty percent of world's population lives near coastlines. This correlation of humans living by the water ways is producing a new class of people worldwide: "Climate Refugees."

There is nothing much more scary to witness as 'rising water.' When it rises, it comes in 'volumes' most of us are unwilling to accept as possible. Water seeks its own level, so it fills up all void space, corner to corner, bottom to top. Rising water knows no boundaries, as it erodes coast lines, or bulwarks, with ease and rapidity. It 'sweeps' away your domicile.

Water, can't live without it, can't live on it.

" ... "Climate Refugees," people who are displaced by climatically induced environmental disasters. Climate change, both incremental and rapid, is resulting in increased droughts, desertification, sea level rise, and the more frequent occurrence of extreme weather events such as hurricanes, cyclones, fires, mass flooding and tornadoes. (Burkle Center for International Relations, UCLA International Institute, November 17, 2010. HERE) ... "

Incremental and rapid change in waterways is forcing people to move away and this is causing border conflicts everywhere it is happening. So much so that " ... The Pentagon now considers climate change a national security risk and the term “Climate Wars” is being talked about in war-room like environments in Washington D.C. ... "

Most Americans make catastrophic decisions, but make few decisions about catastrophes. We depend on others to gather information for us so that we can make up our own minds. Then we do something, or brush it under the rug. The UN is just about the same as all that: headline from 2011, 'The UN ‘disappears’ 50 million climate refugees, then botches the cover-up...'

The problem here is that the UN made a boo boo. What they had advertised is that there would be 50 million refugees by the year 2010.

" ... In 2005, the United Nations Environment Programme predicted that climate change would create 50 million climate refugees by 2010. These people, it was said, would flee a range of disasters including sea level rise, increases in the numbers and severity of hurricanes, and disruption to food production. (Anthony Watts. 04/16/2011. HERE) ... "

That has been updated to be 50 million 'Environmental Refugees' by the year 2020. " ... When people are not living in sustainable conditions, they migrate," she [University of California, Los Angeles professor Cristina Tirado] continued, outlining ...how climate change is impacting both food security and food safety, or the amount of food available and the healthfulness of that food. (Karin Zeitvogel (AFP) – Feb 21, 2011. LINK) ... "

" ... [O]ften it's just poor people saying 'I've got to survive, I've got to eat, I've got to feed my family' that ignites things." (Michigan State University professor Ewen Todd)... "

Where are the "Climate Refugees," or, "Environmental Refugees," depending on which Algore-rhythm you follow...? "What we saw in Tunisia -- a change in government and suddenly there are a whole lot of people going to Italy -- this is going to be the pattern," says Ewen Todd. It has been food shortages that put people into 'refugee mode.' Africans have moved to Spain, and Germany, and points along the mediterranean.

"... These are people who can no longer gain a secure livelihood in their homelands because of drought, soil erosion, desertification, deforestation and other environmental problems, together with the associated problems of population pressures and profound poverty, ... says Norman Myers of Oxford University ... "In their desperation, these people feel they have no alternative but to seek sanctuary elsewhere, however hazardous the attempt." ..."

CONCLUSION
MooPig Bombast Watch Department thinks that this issue is not very well funded. "We don't see a money trail for the '2.2 million deaths in developing countries that are caused each year by food and water-borne diseases.'" It doesn't seem to be a priority among nations who have surplus food, to help Climate Refugees.

The UN is powerless to do anything in a material sense, because of this under-funding trend. So, we just sit back and wait until we experience rising water.

MooPig's Economic Trends Compendium

They just want data
Retrieved by Pat Darnell for Ed Purposes | [SOURCE]

" ... An algorithm," [Felix Salmon] explains, "can analyze data much faster than the human mind ever could — and can therefore respond instantly to market conditions. ... "

" ... [A]lgorithms, -- the lines of code that govern an increasing amount of global trading activity — ... don’t read news the way humans do. They don’t need their information delivered in the form of a story or even in sentences. They just want data—the hard, actionable information that those words represent. ... "

Today on Fresh Air Interviews, we hear an explanation of what happened on May 6, 2010, when the Dow Jones "flash crashed."

" ... In 14 seconds, the futures contracts changed hands over 27,000 times. After an automatic stabilizer paused trading for five seconds on the futures exchange, the market steadied and then recovered. ... " (Salmon, Felix. Jan 13, 2011 HERE)

" ... But even after the SEC/CFTC report was issued in September, "no one really knows why that [crash] happened," says financial reporter Felix Salmon.

"What we do know is that there were some crazy trades which happened in those 5 minutes. We had stocks trading for a penny a share or $100 a share, and no human would do that." (ibid.; Salmon)... "

It turns out, " ... Last spring, Dow Jones [had] launched a new service called Lexicon At the most basic level, computers help prospective buyers and sellers of stocks find one another—without the bother of screaming middlemen or their commissions. ... "

" ... [S]ays Harold Bradley, former head of American Century Ventures, a division of a midsize Kansas City investment firm, “So I had to change the rules.” ... "

WHY?:
" ... Bradley was among the first traders to explore the power of algorithms in the late ’90s, creating approaches to investing that favored brains over access. It took him nearly three years to build his stock-scoring program. First he created a neural network, painstakingly training it to emulate his thinking—to recognize the combination of factors that his instincts and experience told him were indicative of a significant move in a stock’s price. (Salmon, Felix. December 27, 2010. wired, HERE) ..."

Film Industry Breakthrough: No more Surgery on Boobs

Attention Women Film Actresses: Don't Implant, don't Cut anymore, I have an idea. With special computer graphics reaching heights as they are, you can be an actress of regular non-enhanced boobs, and let the technicians put algorithms to show your breasts in films at what ever level of bounce, bump and flounce required in the script.

Just Say "No More Boob Jobs!"
I sincerely hope you will all wake up to regard your assets as properly endowed, and level off on those implants and tucks.

Yes! Eye candy is the key in movies that "made you look!" I accept that. But you don't need that OC housewife look anymore. You just need to find a good programmer who can write your graphics interface formulas. I sincerely think GFX will supplant plastic surgeries.

Wah La! Another big problem solved by MooPig. Now, don't you feel smarter? pd http://crave.cnet.co.uk/0,39029477,49285318,00.htm

"Cartoon Cosmetic Secrets Revealed: Part 1 (retrieved today)
November 16, 2007
This is the first in a multiple-part series dedicated to exposing the truth behind cartoon character makeovers — from back alley liposuction to designer boob jobs, and all the juicy tidbits in between.

"Over the course of a lengthy investigation, our Dirt Team has uncovered mouthwatering rumors and astonishing, potentially-career-ending accusations about some of the hottest animated stars around and their purported “hand-drawn” good looks. We assembled a panel of the most esteemed and scrupulous plastic surgery experts and asked them this question: Real or Digitally Enhanced?

"In our opening stanza, we have decided to focus on one of our most beloved cartoon stars. From her humble beginnings as a cocktail waitress and sometime body double for some of the more modest celebs in Toontown, through her rapid ascent into animated high-society, to her precipitous fall from grace following her husband’s accusation for murder, we admired her innate ability to maintain her sultry, strawberries-and-whipped-cream appeal. But it now appears that she had a little help.

"These are the cosmetic chronicles of Jessica Rabbit --

• Those come-hither LIPS: BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments, Restylane® injections, fat grafts, collagen.

• Those voluptuous BREASTS: breast lift, breast augmentation with saline implants

• That callipygious BOOTY: liposuction, fat grafting, Brazilian butt lift

• That smooth, lustrous SKIN: laser skin resurfacing, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, laser hair removal

• That larger-than-life, curvaceous FIGURE: body lift, bariatric surgery, tummy tuck

• That pouty, yet striking FACE: blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty, chin augmentation with implants, brow lift, laser hair removal, BOTOX®, Restylane® and collagen (dermal fillers), cleft palate reconstruction." (http://www.cosmeticsurgeryinfocenter.com/webmaster.php )
