研究:農藥殺蟲 卻害蜜蜂迷路致死

研究:農藥殺蟲 卻害蜜蜂迷路致死

(路透倫敦29日電)科學家發現即使是低劑量的常見農藥,都可能對大黃蜂和蜜蜂造成傷害、影響歸巢能力,害牠們找不到回家的路。
根據今天發表於「科學」(Science)期刊的兩項研究,英、法國團隊專注研究蜂類和新類尼古丁殺蟲劑(neonicotinoid insecticides)。新類尼古丁殺蟲劑在1990年代推出,現為世界最常見的作物用農藥之一。
其中,英國蘇格蘭斯特林大學(Stirling University)研究團隊,讓發展中的大黃蜂蜂群在隔絕區域內自然採集、授粉6週,但是暴露於低劑量的新尼古丁類殺蟲劑之一益達胺(imidacloprid)中,並測量蜂群的成長。
跟沒有暴露於農藥的對照組相比,研究人員發現農藥組蜂群在實驗結束時,平均比對照組小8%至12%,產生的蜂后更少了85%。
由亞維農(Avignon)法國國家農業研究院(INRA)率領的研究,則在蜜蜂背上黏晶片,追蹤牠們出入蜂窩,並分成施用不致死劑量農藥的實驗組及對照組。
研究團隊表示,被施以新尼古丁類殺蟲劑—賽速安(thiamethoxam)的蜜蜂,在蜂窩外死亡率比對照組高出2至3倍,主因農藥干擾蜜蜂返巢系統,有家歸不得。中央社(翻譯)

法國搜捕武裝份子拘19人

法國搜捕武裝份子拘19人

法國執法部門在全國多個城市,拘捕19名懷疑伊斯蘭武裝份子。
總統薩爾科齊說,特種部隊和情報機關人員在首都巴黎、以及早前發生猶太學校槍擊案圖盧茲等城市採取行動。報道說,被捕者包括一名極端組織的領袖,在他寓所找到槍械和手榴彈。
法國當局上星期在圖盧茲,擊斃槍擊案疑犯梅拉赫後,加緊搜捕他是否有同黨在逃。

聯合國支持的科學家呼籲特大城市人口滅絕

In a recent statement put out by “Planet Under Pressure” several scientists call for denser cities in order to mitigate worldwide population growth. When in doubt that UN’s Agenda 21 is not the Mein Kampf of our day, one should consider yet another in-your-face confession from yet another certified biocratic control freak
According to an MSNBC article one of the scientists while speaking about human populations worldwide, stated:
“We certainly don’t want them strolling about the entire countryside. We want them to save land for nature by living closely [together].”

Insisting the world’s population be locked up within the confounds of mega-cities, the elite realizes that if the herd is to be properly controlled walls are needed- thick walls, and by constructing these walls, making the masses go this or that way will be made easier..
Chief scientist Michail Fragkias involved with “Planet under Pressure” told MSNBC that “the answer (to population growth) is denser cities.”

科羅拉多州丹佛市UFO報告

Reports about UFO over Denver, Colorado 

UFO sightings - Suha and Mike Owens took video Wednesday night from their home in Highlands Ranch. It shows a light in the sky that appears to change colors, and it moves left and right, up and down.

"Is it somebody's toy or is it a UFO?" Suha Owens says in the video.

9NEWS received several calls and emails Wednesday around 8:45 p.m. from viewers, all reporting a bright light in the western sky.

9NEWS spoke with Chris Peterson, a researcher at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science and Cloudbait Observatory, about the light.

孟山都公司的Roundup令DNA受損

Monsanto’s Roundup is Causing DNA Damage

There is a reason that masks are worn while applying herbicides, and warning signs are erected upon recently sprayed land plots; herbicide exposure is known to cause serious health complications.

New research has recently been released showing that glyphosate, the main active ingredient found in Monsanto’s Roundup Ultra Max, is causing both DNA and cellular damage to cells found in the mouth and throat.

Seeing as the inhalation of herbicides and ingredients like glyphosate is very common, this research alone is enough to raise concern over the safety of such substances which are used on a major scale.

The Institute of Science in Society reports:
…Monsanto’s formulated version of glyphosate called Roundup Ultra Max caused cellular damage and DNA damage including chromosomal abnormalities and ultimately killed the cells at higher concentrations. Importantly, DNA damage occurred at concentrations below those required to induce cell damage, suggesting that the DNA damage was caused directly by glyphosate instead of being an indirect result of cell toxicity.
