Huge Carbon Release From Massive Permafrost Thaw

Huge slabs of Arctic permafrost in northwest Canada are slumping and disintegrating, sending large amounts of carbon-rich mud and silt into streams and rivers. A new study that analyzed nearly a half-million square miles in northwest Canada found that this permafrost decay is affecting 52,000 square miles of that vast stretch of earth—an expanse the size of Alabama.
According to researchers with the Northwest Territories Geological Survey, the permafrost collapse is intensifying and causing landslides into rivers and lakes that can choke off life downstream, all the way to where the rivers discharge into the Pacific Ocean.

Similar large-scale landscape changes are evident across the Arctic including in Alaska, Siberia and Scandinavia, the researchers wrote in a paper published in the journal Geology in early February. The study didn't address the issue of greenhouse gas releases from thawing permafrost. But its findings could help quantify the immense global scale of the thawing, which will contribute to more accurate estimates of carbon emissions.
Permafrost is land that has been frozen stretching back to the last ice age, 10,000 years ago. As the Arctic warms at twice the global rate, the long-frozen soils thaw and decompose, releasing the trapped greenhouse gases into the air. Scientists estimate that the world's permafrost holds twice as much carbon as the atmosphere.
The new study was aimed at measuring the geographical scope of thawing permafrost in northwest Canada. Using satellite images and other data, the team studied the edge of the former Laurentide Ice Sheet, a vast expanse of ice that covered two-thirds of North America during the last ice age. The disintegration of the permafrost was visible in 40- to 60-mile wide swaths of terrain, showing that, "extensive landscapes remain poised for major climate-driven change." 
"Things have really taken off. Climate warming is now making that happen. It's exactly what we should expect with climate change," said Steven V. Kokelj, lead scientist on the Canadian mapping project. "And the maps that we produced clearly indicated it's not just a random pattern. We're sort of connecting dots here for the scientific community."

Turnbull Government Celebrate Worst Ever Heatwave With Group Coal Fondling Event


THE PSYCHOPATHS LAUGHED AND THEN THE HOMES STARTED TO BURN 
Here we observe a new level of cognitive dissonance in the Turnbull minority government of rabid psychopaths.
On February 9, 2017 Australia's treasurer Scott Morrison entered parliament with a lump of coal. The coal was lovingly stroked by many of the Turnbull front bench. Two days later on Saturday 11 February, Richmond on the outskirts of Sydney recorded 47 degrees (116.6F) in a heatwave that smashed all previous records and made NSW the 'hottest place on Earth' according to climate reanalyzer.
As NSW and Eastern Australia endured a catastrophic heatwave, bushfires broke-out and 30 homes were destroyed. During this heatwave their highly-paid 'representatives' stroked a lump of coal as the catastrophe unfolded. This is worse than Nero fiddling while Rome burned because for Nero it was just Italy, for these yokels it's the planet.


The heat stats are mind-blowing. The town of Walgett hit 47.9 and is close to breaking the record for the highest number of consecutive days over 35 degrees. The record is more than 50 days over 35 degrees.

Back to the Turnbull ministers. Morrison is off with the fairies if he thinks coal will drag Australia out of debt. It's digging us deeper into debt and the fact he is blind to this reality is a tragedy for the nation. Mannequin environment minister Josh Fryemburnt also stroked the coal in a symbolic gesture that the environment means shite in his micro-brain. Barnaby Joyce has recovered from skin cancer long enough to stroke the coal, while Social inSecurity Minister Christian Porter wants a pregnant-looking Minister for revenue Kelly O'Dwyer to look at his chunk.
By Tuesday 14 February thousands of bats were dropping out of trees and dying of heat stress in NSW.
Man-made climate alteration is serious but the Liberal politicians appear to be surgically lobotomised from comprehending science and reality.
Lets be clear? The NSW heatwave was not natural.

Stay tuned for the next Liberal reverie, but it looks like they are not going to to be in government for much longer.

The 'Angry Summer'. 205 Records Broken In 90 Days.
The final word on the Turnbull psychopaths.

The Truth Is Out. Trump Is a Phuktard


We actually support Trump's stance on 'extreme vetting' of Moslem's entering the US, but when Trump failed to include Saudi Arabia in his immigration 'blacklist' we realised he is just another Yankee blow hard. All talk and no brains.
As well as a lot of Neanderthal bullshite Saudi Arabia just happens to practice stoning people to death but Trump registered 8 companies in Saudi Arabia during the US election alone.
That pretty much makes Trump a supporter of terrorism and barbarism in our opinion. Trump's comment that 'torture works' confirms Trump does not have a high IQ as he claims. If intelligent people believed in torture then the Spanish inquisition would have been the golden age of civilisation. The US will never, ever become great again under Trump. The US is phukted and deep down you all know it. It's now just a slow progression to the bottom of the barrel for everybody in the US. We feel sorry for you because most of you didn't even vote for Trump.

Trump uses hormones to grow hair
The Trump hair mystery has finally been solved by his ex-physician Dr Harold Bornstein who told the world Trump uses Finasteride which converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone.
Dr Harold Bornstein
Dihydrotestosterone is listed as an 'endogenous androgen sex steroid and hormone'. Dr Bornstein also takes it which explains why he breached doctor-patient confidentiality with none other than the President of the USA. Do you see a pattern here? (other than male pattern baldness).

Isn't it all great again? A President on hormone replacement therapy?
Unfortunately Finasteride effects sexual performance, especially if is stopped. Does that mean Trump has got to take it? With all his 'locker room talk' we recon he can't afford to stop taking it.
But is there other medication Dr Bornstein didn't mention? We know it's always nice to have a card up the sleeve. Trump could destroy this guy unless he was frightened more would be revealed.

Trump Is Actually Letting Terrorists Into The US

Trump's Muslim Ban - His Sinister Choice of Blacklisted Countries
from Paul McGeough

The new President is cravenly political in the countries he decided to put on a refugee and migrant blacklist. And his inclusions and exclusions don't make sense.

Trump claims to be motivated by the horrific September 11 attacks on New York and Washington, but the countries of which the 19 aircraft hijackers were citizens are not on the list – most came from Saudi Arabia and the rest from the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Lebanon.

Also absurdly absent are Pakistan, Turkey and Afghanistan – all of them hotbeds of terror. In excluding them, Trump is grovelling to their leaders, not making a gesture to their people.

But there's something a bit more sinister in his choice of targets.

In the 40 years to 2015, not a single American was killed on US soil by citizens from any of the seven countries targeted - Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen - according to research by the conservative-leaning Cato Institute.

But the same research shows that in the same period nearly 3000 Americans were killed by citizens of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt and Turkey — most victims of the September 11 attacks.

And oops, wouldn't you know it, Trump has multimillion-dollar business operations in all those countries.

In 2015, he registered eight hotel-related companies in Saudi Arabia, according to The Washington Post; in Turkey, two luxury towers in Istanbul are licensed to use his name; in Egypt, he has two companies; and in the UAE, he has naming and management deals for two golf courses.

Melbourne Car Attacker An Ice User Out On Bail

The death toll from the January 20 Melbourne car attack is 5 dead with another 2 in a critical condition. Perpetrator 26 year old Dimitrious 'Jimmy' Gargasoulas says he is half Greek and half Tongan. The car attack has a Wikipedia page.
A friend of Gargasoulas claimed he 'was a great guy but ice destroyed him.' According to an unnamed witness he was shouting 'Allahu Akbar' while doing donuts outside Flinders Street Station.
Earlier that day Gargasoulas critically injured his own brother in a gay hate crime.
Obviously Jimmy Gargasoulas was psychologically unravelling in the weeks proceeding the attack. He used the same method as the Berlin and Nice truck attacks and according to a friend 'he converted to Muslim and changed very quickly. For over a month he’s been on edge'.
So was this car attack 'terrorism'? Pauline Hanson claimed it was, but Gargasoulos appears to have been psychotic at the time. But aren't all terrorist attacks carried out by people who are mentally unstable? The broken Australian legal system let this nutter back onto the streets on January 14, less than a week before the terrible car attack. Lets see how the judges resolve the 'nutcase or terrorist or both' conundrum?

Ship Carrying Cocaine Was Headed To Tasmania

More details of the December 12, 2016 arrest of the Kaiyo Maru No.8 carrying 186 kgs of cocaine off the coast of Tasmania have been revealed.


Police have now broken an alleged cocaine importation syndicate based in Melbourne. Police had monitored the syndicate for about a year. It appears the syndicate were using the 'mothership' method of importing drugs, relying on a smaller vessel such as a fishing boat to bring the drugs ashore.

The Kaiyo Maru No.8 had been fitted with long range fuel tanks. After travelling down the WA coast the vessel headed for Tasmania. Something went wrong off the Tasmanian coast with the rendezvous boat failing to arrive.
After about 2 weeks of waiting the Kaiyo Maru No.8 then changed course, travelling south of New Zealand. This is when the Australian authorities pounced. The arrest took place in international waters. There are still important pieces of this jigsaw puzzle that are missing.

Ultra-Dumb Tasmanian Legal System Tries To Silence The Chinese Nationals Story
Feb 3 and we learn that the idiotic Tasmanian legal system has prevented one of the accused Cheng Gang Wang from communicating with his lawyer because they can't afford $390 for an interpreter. Read about it in the Examiner.

The Turnbull Ministry Are Nearly All Lawyers And Accountants

Lawyers circled yellow, accountants blue
There are only 2 Professions in the Turnbull Cabinet
The picture above shows Turnbulls cabinet, the outer ministry and the parliamentary secretaries (called assistant ministers).
Our investigation of the second Turnbull Ministry reveals the dominance of two professions - lawyers and accountants. The Liberal Party have 18 cabinet ministers and of those 12 are lawyers. The Liberals have another 5 lawyers in the outer ministry and assistant ministers, a total of 17 lawyers. The Liberals have 4 accountants in the cabinet. No other professions are represented. The Nationals and Liberal-Nationals have 1 lawyer who is 'Assistant Minister to the Prime Minister'. Obviously Turnbull prefers to surround himself with lawyers? We termed 'accountants' anybody with a finance degree. This includes economics, taxation, business and 'applied economic geography' which is treasurer Morrison's background.

Observations
There is just 1 doctor of medicine, the Nationals Dr David Gillespie and he is an assistant minister. The Minister for Health has degrees in taxation and accountancy but not health. We have lawyers running defence, environment, employment, trade, foreign affairs, finance and social services.
In the outer ministry, as well as lawyers and accountants we see a few arts degrees, two journalists and a career politician. Strangely, we have a British-born ex-fisherman as Minister for Indigenous Affairs. There is an indigenous member of the Turnbull ministry who is the 'Assistant Minister for Health and Aged Care'.

We only found one person that ran their own business and she is an assistant minister.
Anybody with real world experience has been relegated to the outer ministry or is a parliamentary secretary. By excluding all other life skills except law and finance, Turnbull has created the most inward-looking government in Australia's history. No wonder they are constantly bungling routine government activities? They also 'blame the victims' for government mistakes such as irresponsible borrowing. And it's taking it's toll. As the angst rises in Australia caused by this dysfunctional cartel of corporate lawyers and bean-counters, we decided this facebook graphic says it best.

Seafish Tasmania Director Arrested In Australia's Largest Cocaine Bust

Largest Cocaine Bust In Australia's History
A 15-member narcotics importation ring was broken on Christmas Day. 500 kilograms of cocaine was unloaded at Parsley Bay on the Hawkesbury River NSW.
Police have alleged the gang made five attempts to import drugs into Australia. 32 kilograms of heroin was seized in Fiji in December 2014 and another 600 kilograms of cocaine was seized in Tahiti in March 2016.
"Officers from the Australian Federal Police, Australian Border Force and NSW Police have worked with international authorities for the past 2½ years to break the syndicate."
                                       The Tasmanian Connection
The Elidi owned by Seafish Tasmania
One of the arrested, is a director of Seafish Tasmania the company involved in the Supertrawler debacle. A company registered at the same Triabunna Tasmania address named 'Seafish Tasmania Pelagic' was a front company for the supertrawler owners Parlevliet & Van der Plas. We had previously pointed out Seafish Tasmania were probably involved in tax fraud over trawler leasing arrangemets.

Also arrested was X of Hobart, owner of Lorjona P/L operator of the Saxons Progress and Corvina fishing trawlers. X had been on an advisory committee to The Australian Fisheries Management Authority (AFMA). Collins was also associated with Seafish Tasmania as a coroners report into the 2010 death of Basil Lee shows. Lee died in unusual circumstances after apparently falling from either the Elidi owned by Seafish Tasmania or the Corvini owned by James Collins. Both vessels were moored together at the Seafish wharf at Triabunna.
Another man arrested, marine engineer Stuart Ayrton also worked for Seafish Tasmania.  Seafish Tasmania was known to have put pressure on the regulator over fish quotas.
Maybe more of the Tasmanian connection will be revealed when the case goes to court on March 2017.

'Turn Off The Satellite Transponder'
The Federal Liberal Government allowed the trawler the 'Geelong Star' to turn off it's satellite transponder so it could operate in secrecy. This now appears idiotic given the role of fishing trawlers in narcotics importation.

The Chinese Cocaine Shipment of December 2016
An obvious question now is 'were Tasmanian fishing trawlers involved in the Chinese plan to import 186kgs of cocaine into Australia?
The Kaiyo Maru No. 8 carrying cocaine was escorted into Hobart in December 2016. 10 Chinese nationals pleaded not guilty on January 13 and have been remanded in custody until March.

Quote of the week
"Eric Abetz believes Seafish Tasmania may be entitled to damages because it has abided by all the Commonwealth's requirements". "The knee-jerk reaction by the Government opens up a huge compensation claim he said." September 12 2012

Turnbull Disrupts The Earth's Climate


Back in September 2015 in Turnbull's first statement as PM he said "the Australia of the future has to be a nation that is agile, that is innovative, that is creative. We can’t be defensive, we can’t future-proof ourselves.
“We have to recognise that the disruption that we see driven by technology, the volatility in change is our friend if we are agile and smart enough to take advantage of it.”

A year on and Turnbull's 'agile disruption' involves transferring $1billion of our money into a Cayman Islands tax haven to help a stuggling Indian billionaire on corruption charges.

Gautam Adani, founder of  the Adani group wants a giant coal mine in the Galilee Basin in Queensland. Turnbull and marionette environment minister Josh Frydenberg are doing everything they can to make it a reality.

Adani's extensive corruption problems aside, for Australia, the World's worst per capita carbon emitter, to help Adani export massive amounts of coal is not innovation it's suicide. Turnbull has never had a moral compass and has no respect for science. Did he consider Australia's primary producers who are already being smashed by climate change? Turnbull's economy is so dysfunctional he has to grovel before people like Adani just so he can keep destroying the Great Barrier Reef and everybody in Australia that depends on the weather to make a living.

How will coal help India a country of 1.25 billion? Turnbull is feeding global overpopulation, climate degradation and the breakdown of Australia's economy.  Australia's coal exports are actually our carbon footprint and for Turnbull to pretend otherwise is a fraud. And that is what Turnbull has been all along. Turnbull had his own Cayman Islands tax avoidance scheme and was named in the Panama Papers. Malcolm Turnbull is a crooked, tax-avoiding sleaze in our opinion.

Duterte Admits He Is An Addict - As We Predicted

Back in October 2016 Inside Tasmania made the bold prediction that Philippines president Rodrigo Duterte is a drug addict.
Now Duterte has admitted to not only abusing the opioid fentanyl but also murdering people on the streets of Davao in order to encourage the police to shoot more people. 
"The 72-year-old former provincial mayor, whose crackdown on illegal drugs has left almost 6000 people dead, admitted over-using an addictive pain-killing drug to relieve pain. Mr Duterte told a business forum in the presidential palace that he started taking the opioid analgesic drug fentanyl, which is usually prescribed for cancer patients, despite never being diagnosed with cancer. "
Now we know Duterte was sexually abused by a priest, is a drug addict and has committed murder. So why was he elected president of the Philippines? The fact is any electorate is made up of a majority of people with only average intelligence and they will consistently elect poor leaders.
This controversial mathematical modelling is one of the most uncomfortable truths of our age. It has also put the human race on a trajectory to annihilation.

Inside Tasmania supports current vice president Leni Robredo (right) to replace Duterte as Philippines president. Robredo is a human rights lawyer and she always seems to be smiling. We are sure she would be much better for the Philippines than the mentally unstable murderer, drug addict and sexual abuse victim Rodrigo Duterte.
It's just a pity Duterte got this far.
As for Telstra and other Australian telcos using the Philippines for their call centres, we now don't care what they do. They are going to lose everybody's personal data anyway so the telcos can dig their own grave as Rodrigo would say.
