In classical economic theory, this notion of balance is a beforehand (Very questionable) on which rests the whole conceptual edifice, but I think you rather you situated on the side of microeconomics and there it remains consistent, at least to some extent ...
As I tried (by mapping voluntarily) to show, the realization of gains logically becomes increasingly difficult, except fireworks or deliberate * or transparent. Thus, in the latter case we are particularly interested, service companies and replace the previous generation activities can not function without the creation by the financial industry of fictitious capital ** solvent that make a large customer ...

* This is the case of larger companies.
** But the real effects because they have a dual nature.

Climate change: five islands of the Solomon disappeared under the waters of the Pacific

THE WORLD | 07.05.2016

Five Islands Solomon in the Pacific, have disappeared because of the rising waters and coastal erosion, according to an Australian scientific study published Saturday 7 May Six others are severely affected.

The five islands that have disappeared (Kakatina, Kale, Rapita, Rehana and Zollies) were uninhabited islands but vegetation carriers, with an area of ​​up to 5 hectares on which fishermen would sometimes stop. "It is not only small sandy islets," said Simon Albert, one of the scientific authors of the study, told Agence France-Presse.

Of the six other affected islands, coastal erosion precipitated a dozen houses in the sea for five years and forced to relocate two villages further inland.

The Solomon Islands are particularly threatened, both by the rising waters, which in this area almost three times higher than the world average, and particularly violent waves that erode the coast.
Local response to this evolution can be an example for countries threatened by rising sea levels, say scientists, who note that the town of Taro, capital of Choiseul Province, has already planned to relocate to more land high.

Siberia: a dangerous global warming


August 03, 2016

Melting ice has awakened a deadly bacteria that contaminated the entire village. A boy of 12 years died.

2400 reindeer were found dead on tens of kilometers they were poisoned by a toxic substance, anthrax, who escaped from the ground, close teepees reindeer herders. In the Yamal Peninsula, near the Arctic Circle in Russia, the ground never thaws principle. It contains rendered inactive disease strains cold for centuries.

+ 7 degree in three years

But this summer, he made here over 35 degrees. The top layer of the tundra is melting. The nomads who live here are forced to leave. In the regional hospital, families are placed under observation, a child of 12 years died and doctors admit their powerlessness. Disease recur, because Siberia is changing profoundly. Russia now faces the very real consequences of global warming. Siberia is the same region that is warming in the most spectacular way : The average temperature has increased by seven degrees in three years.

Anthrax escapes from Siberian soil, killing one

By Curb iconCécile Thibert - the 03 / 08 / 2016


Warmer temperatures led to the awakening of the deadly bacteria, present in the soil frozen since 75 years.

Such an event had not been reported since 1941: anthrax, or anthrax, caused the death of a child and contaminated 21 Yamalo-Nenets people, an autonomous district of Russian North Grand, reported Tuesday local authorities.

Caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis, anthrax can occur in three forms: cutaneous, pulmonary or intestinal. 12 the boy, who belonged to a family of reindeer herders, died Saturday of intestinal form, characterized by fever, stomach pain, diarrhea and vomiting. It seems to have been infected after eating reindeer meat contaminated with the deadly bacteria. If the infection is supported in time, it can be treated with antibiotics. Two-thirds of 20 those infected contracted the skin form of the disease, easier to process, while six patients are like the boy who died, affected by the intestinal form, the most serious.

high temperatures

According to authorities, the epidemic was triggered by climate change. Last month, the region has known effects of abnormally high temperatures of around 35 degrees against 17 usually in the same season. Therefore permafrost (or permafros), a layer of soil whose temperature is normally kept below 0 ° C, melted, releasing the frozen bacteria form spores for decades. Spores are phase bacteria lifecycle that allows them to survive for decades in an unfavorable environment, both in the ground as wool or the infected animal hair.

Anthrax primarily affects animals but also reached the man. In total, more than 2300 reindeer died, probably after eating infected plants. The transmission of human to animal can be done in various ways: through direct contact with the skin, by inhalation of spores or ingestion of undercooked contaminated meat. There is however no documented cases of human to human transmission. All those infected are from a nomadic tribe of Yamalo-Nenets, a region on 2000 kilometers northeast of Moscow. According to the Siberian Times, 90 people were hospitalized preventively, including 54 children to pass additional examinations in Salekhard, the capital of the district.

Quarantine

The region, with an area greater than that of France, was placed in quarantine. District Governor Natalya Khlopunova said that all the reindeer in this area have now been vaccinated and that the deaths have stopped. "The vast majority of the nomads from the affected area are healthy, she added. However, doctors have given preventive treatment. " Those infected with the intestinal form still have a life-threatened, the newspaper The Siberian Times. Military experts were sent in to analyze the area and incinerate the dead animals. The main risk of spreading the epidemic is linked to infected meat, the regional government decided to ban the export of any meat, skin or reindeer antlers earlier this week.

Anthrax is named after the Greek word for coal, with reference to blackish scabs that form on the skin of sufferers. The disease occurs in most of sub-Sahelian Africa and Asia, several countries in southern Europe, the Americas and parts of Australia. In France, animal anthrax outbreaks are regularly detected. Between 1999 and 2009, 74 outbreaks have been recorded, mainly in cattle. More recently, in 2001, anthrax was used in the US during bioterrorism, killing five.

With global warming, the Siberian permafrost has probably not finished unveiling its share of microbes trapped in the ice for decades, if not thousands of years. In September 2015, a French team of scientists announced the discovery of a giant virus from a completely unknown genre 30 000 reactivated after years of icy sleep.

News of my mountains:

These small Alpine glaciers to disappear shortly

Image
a glacial meltdown leads to the formation of lakes, such as here at the foot of the top pan of Sarennes under the Pic Blanc in Alpe d'Huez.

Like the iconic glacier Grandes Rousses removal upsets the landscape. By 2100, 80% of the Alpine glacier surface is sentenced with a global warming of three degrees. Those who are less than 3500 m are destined to disappear in the short or medium term. Sarennes death is announced in four years ...

At the time of the first snowfall harbingers of winter, the Alpe d'Huez, the chic dream Oisans awake to outlandish (or chimeric) links with its neighboring Deux Alpes and Sybelles to flesh a track plan already well supplied. But it is a treasure that you class ski area's most renowned, and the Alpe is poised to lose: its glacier.

Emmanuel Thibert, an engineer at Irstea (National Institute for Science Research and Technology for Environment and Agriculture) and Xavier Ravannat, research technician, at the bedside of the ice pan clinically dead. The record levels of their tags, leaves little room for doubt. Next an annual rate of loss of about 3 m thick, in recent years, and its Sarennes 10 m maximum residual ice, are doomed to disappear ... in four years. Passionate about Alpe and great off-piste does believe the fatal perspective. Formerly, they cut the head to the bad news messengers.

In early autumn, the site revealed a sad landscape as the Venice of dead time loves. Since 2014, the glacier is separated into two discontinuous sheets of ice for a total surface of only 2016 8,4 hectares, against 160 once. And the medium passes a track where 4X4 ATV and ride in this valley equipped with artificial snow up to 3000 m. Before the glacier allowed to keep those eternal snows offering the opportunity to ski, no matter precipitation.

The blessed time to ski in summer

Christian Reverbel ensured during 40 years on the slopes of the resort. "It was a full bowl of ice. The teams had been practicing, "recalls the head of the tracks. Since 2000, summer skiing is a distant memory. Reverbel experienced an era where old spoke of Sarennes with thick 80 m. We skied until August.

In 1949 when he was the first French glacier to be tracked Water and Forestry, tongue stretched to the hut, known glaciologists at 2700 m where today s' extends an immense reserve of water storage, Europe's highest to produce snow. The glacier peaked at 3300 m on the ridge that joins the White peak, the arrival station of the cable car summit.

"The cup emptied"

By withdrawing, the ice changes the nature of the terrain. This is an illustration indicative of the climate, but also of transformation of landscapes. Christian Reverbel this "vacuum" could be problematic for the management of tracks that require connections. "The bowl was emptied, lowering the point of conjunction between the ice and the rock. This causes breaks sometimes almost 30 m - formerly the thickness of the glacier - where we trace our tracks. " Professional snow think of the route of "Black Castle" which starts under the famous refuge of GUC whose route could be modified to soften the slope failure. Which would require heavy dérochements yards.

Vestige of the Little Ice Age

Another concern of glacial retreat, he sold to unstable moraines or ice fossilized ground upon which certain infrastructures. Take the Glacier chairlift. Soon, not only will it change its name but also its starting platform. Even its plot. "It sets up retention systems but in a few years, it will find a solution," admits Christophe Monier, CEO of the SATA epxloitant the field. Emmanuel Thibert shows these crevices filled with water: "The surface collapses with melting under ice." And winter trackers famous Sarenne track (no "s"), define a security perimeter for skiers avoid the hole.

Sarennes formed the Little Ice Age (1550-1830) is not an isolated case. He embodies the fate of glaciers whose accumulation zone is less than 3500 m. Like those of circus Soreiller, in the Ecrins park, it should disappear prematurely as more vulnerable because of its southern exposure. The western slope of the valley is the last glaciated. Other small bodies lose their glaciers. Belledone neighbor, culminating at Pic 2977 m wide, will consider only two true: Freydanne and Sitre.

Emmanuel Thibert recites the years melt record to Sarennes: 2011, 2003 or 2009 5 m more less water. "The hot summer 2015 was combined with a dry winter to give one of the most mass balance deficit since 65 years with a cast speed record: 7 cm per day in July."

Area divided by ten years 100

The temperatures accelerate the melting of a glacier the snow, its matter can no longer regenerate. "In the twentieth century, it has been in almost constant disequilibrium with climate. Its surface was divided by 10 and he lost 100 m thick. Since 1985 this imbalance is growing, "says the scientist. In 35 years melt period has increased by one month 15 days in the fall and 15 days in the spring. Ravage of the summer, "when the glacier loses its skin, the snow that protects", according Reverbel. Thibert concludes: "Sarennes was condemned by the natural evolution of the climate. The man has only accelerated things in this new century. "

Yet 2016 marks a slowdown in decline for some of the glaciers. Some have even retained their mass as Tête Rousse under Mount Blanc. In the category of "small" in Haute-Savoie, those needles Reds, Vallorcine, north side resisted. Las one swallow does not make a summer, and the underlying trend is inexorable. Sarennes has lost "only" 1,7 m thick this year - as the Mer de Glace - thanks to spring rains. And won, perhaps a stay of 6 months on his death programmed in 2020 horizon.

do not worry, Christophe, it does not concern Econology, but another forum who is interested in oil, gas ... LessdeWatt knows very well. :P
