A new study of declining penguin populations shows a strong correlation between penguin numbers and krill availability. Krill availability is affected by reduced sea ice conditions in Antarctica due to global warming and climate change.

"For penguins and other species, krill is the linchpin in the food web. Regardless of their environmental preferences, we see a connection between climate change and penguin populations through the loss of habitat for their main food source," said Dr. Wayne Trivelpiece, lead author and seabird researcher of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Antarctic Ecosystem Research Division. "As warming continues, the loss of krill will have a profound effect throughout the Antarctic ecosystem."

Since ethanol blend fuel (E10) has been available at German bowsers, demand for ethanol from sugar cane keeps rising. Especially for people in Latin America this agro-fuel boom is a tragedy.

A female sugar cane worker from Nicaragua has visited Germany and reported many thousands of people killed and made ill.

The cause is the cocktail of chemicals sprayed on the huge plantations. It causes human kidneys to fail, poisons soils and waters.

Australia has one of the world’s worst deaths in custody records. As a researcher I have compared Australia 's deaths in custody record in terms of proportion to populations with other countries. Deaths in custody includes prison and police custody. We compare badly with even Apartheid South Africa .
