A Herd of 170 Bison May Be the Unlikely Climate Warriors We've Needed All Along-These massive mammals are absorbing carbon with every giant step they take

| MAY 23, 2024 | DARREN ORF
When it comes to carbon sequestration and the natural world, many efforts go into planting more trees. But
large land mammals also have a significant role to play. A new study analyzing the climate impacts of a small herd of European bison in Romania discovered that the bovine increased the surrounding grasslands’ carbon capture capacity by a factor of 10. This is thanks in large part to the animals’ immense bulk, as their hooves regularly compact the soil, which allows it to trap more carbon. Bovines often get a bad rap as big emitters of methane, an ultra potent greenhouse...

A video that was recently published online shows a herd of bison charge at a group of tourists in Yellowstone National Park, according to an article from USA Today. In the video, captured by Adella Gonzalez last Wednesday, a herd of bison walks across a pathway and back into the grass. A
group of people then move closer to the bison and cross "mere feet in front of the herd." The bison herd then charges the tourists, who notice and manage to move out of the way in time, allowing the bison to continue running their intended path. According to...

| Apr 1, 2024 | EMILY WOODRUFF
Parents opted out of vaccines for Louisiana’s kindergartners at the highest rate in at least a decade as several new bills to weaken vaccine requirements continue to advance in the Louisiana Legislature. During the 2022-23 school year, about 2.3% of children entering school requested exemptions, according to data from the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention. About 0.1% of those were due to medical reasons. That’s around double the year before, when 1.1% of kindergarten students requested nonmedical exemptions. From 2011 to 2017, the average exemption rate was around 0.75%. … “It’s a slippery slope,” said Dr. Mark Kline, physician...

Column: As measles spreads, 'herd stupidity' grips Florida's government

As of this writing, the measles outbreak in Florida is up to nine cases, including the first one recorded outside the epicenter in Broward County, the vicinity of Fort Lauderdale. Nine cases may not seem like a lot, but it's enough to alarm epidemiologists. They
point out that measles is among the most contagious viruses known to humankind, which means that the cases identified thus far are likely to be the tip of the iceberg. Who's unconcerned? The chief public health official of the state of Florida, that's who. He's Joseph Ladapo, who I earlier identified as "the most dangerous...

ut across the plains of South Dakota, over 1,500 bison (Bison bison bison) were rounded up recently as part of efforts to protect the species and maintain the health of the herd. Every

Every so often, one of our college leaders blurts out the truth about their feelings and beliefs. In
their public pronouncements, they always try to appear reasonable, when they’re actually intolerant and belligerent. That’s exactly what happened at Bakersfield College (BC) in California. The story begins in 2021, when a group of faculty members at the school, disturbed at the inroads the DEI movement was making, formed the Renegade Institute for Liberty (RIL). Their purpose was “to promote diversity of thought and intellectual literacy through free and open discussion of American ideals including civil, economic, and religious freedom.” That amounted...

Earlier this week, a 34-year-old driver led North Carolina police officers and deputies on a pursuit after fleeing from the officers during a traffic stop. According
to the Town of Boone Police Department and the Watauga County Sheriff’s Office, the suspect, later identified as Joshua Minton, of Millers Creek, NC, ran into an undeveloped area after abandoning his vehicle in the Deep Gap area. Because the suspect was driving fast and recklessly, officers were not close behind him and therefore did not see where he ran to, police said. While officers were searching the area for the suspect, they were...

there are three kinds of people in the world: “wolves, sheep, and sheepdogs.” "If
you have no capacity for violence, then you are a healthy, productive citizen: a sheep. If you have a capacity for violence and no empathy for your fellow citizens, then you have defined an aggressive sociopath — a wolf. But, what if you have a capacity for violence and a deep love for your fellow citizens? Then you are a sheepdog, protecting the sheep from the wolf." in all the recent and previous slaughter of children (the sheep) in schools by one shooter (the wolf), there...

Even paling the brazen corruption surrounding the recent vaccine push by Big Pharma and major government officials globally is the mindless push by especially EU and USA governments to advance a Green Agenda whose costs vs benefits have rarely been openly examined. There
is a good reason for this. It has to do with a sinister agenda to destroy industrial economies and reduce the global population by billions of human beings.

As Republicans prepare to take power in the House, the Democrats will be lying in waiting for them. We're
headed into the third year of the Biden administration and I'm afraid another year of rampant, unbridled herd impunity, where a few power brokers in Washington, DC will be deciding what your life and mine will be like for the next 365 days. That in itself is nothing new. We have a long history of ceding power to ideologues who routinely use howitzers to swat flies - imposing huge unmanageable solutions to solve our country's problems.

For nearly two years, vaccine expert and virologist Geert Vanden Bossche has been on a mission to raise awareness of why healthy children should not receive COVID-19 vaccines. Vanden
Bossche, who has 30 years of experience in the vaccine industry, claims that it is primarily the unvaccinated children and adults who can generate herd immunity. “The children are our only hope still, to generate herd immunity,” Vanden Bossche told The Epoch Times. “And herd immunity means, thanks to their natural immunity, they can kill the virus, they can sterilize the virus.” It is only herd immunity that “will be able,...

More than 20 deer have moved in on Kinlochleven near Fort William in Lochaber, Scotland, and are said to have begun to "intimidate" the community. A
lone stag arrived four years ago before slowly attracting hinds and the wild animals eventually started wandering the streets and local parks. In January a proposal to kill off the herd was vetoed, with villagers arguing they could learn to live side by side with the new settlers. The village used to house a giant aluminium smelting works but now much of its economy is supported by tourists walking the West Highland Way, with...

In 2000 there were only 18 blue cows in Latvia, but today they number around 1,500 -- thoroughbreds as well as hybrids. Originally found only on the Baltic coast in the Kurzeme region...
