Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

What is the Cost of One Meter of Sea Level Rise?

Sean Vitousek, Guest Commentary, | July 19, 2017, 9:48 am EST
Bookmark and Share

The opening line of our recent Scientific Reports article reads “Global climate change drives sea level rise, increasing the frequency of coastal flooding.” Some may read this as plain fact. Others may not.

Undeniable and accelerating

100 years of data from tide gauges and more recently from satellites has demonstrated an unequivocal rise in global sea level (~8-10 inches in the past century). Although regional sea level varies on a multitude of time scales due to oceanographic processes like El Niño and vertical land motion (e.g., land subsidence or uplift), the overall trend of rising sea levels is both undeniable and accelerating. Nevertheless, variability breeds doubt. Saying that global warming is a hoax because it’s cold outside is like saying sea level rise doesn’t exist because it’s low tide.

Global sea level is currently rising at 34 mm/year, making it a relatively slow process. For instance, tides typically change sea level by 0.5-1.0 m every 12 hours, a rate that is ~100,000 times faster than global mean sea level rise.

It’s almost as if sea-level rise were slow enough for us to do something about it…

Saving the Sumatran tiger from extinction

By Anne Barker on AM

The Sumatran tiger is now so rare there are around 400 left in the wild.

But conservationists are optimistic they can stave off extinction.

A new campaign is enlisting the support of another 'tiger' — the Richmond Football club in Melbourne — to raise awareness in Australia.

'Sustainable palm oil' may not be so sustainable after all

Vision of an orangutan seemingly under assault from heavy machinery in Indonesia went viral on social media last week, briefly putting the issue of illegal palm oil operations back in the spotlight.

The footage, originally shot in 2014, shows the animal clambering to get away while an excavator pushes the lone tree it is sheltering in to the ground.

The men who can be seen pursuing the animal were from International Animal Rescue (IAR) and the Agency for the Conservation of Natural Resources (BKSDA) and were attempting to sedate and capture the animal before relocating it.

In an attempt to stop scenes like this, the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) set up the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) in 2004, with industry partners and social-environmental organisations.

6917178-3x2-medium.jpg?v=2

...............................................

 

And in 2011 the RSPO trademark was launched as a way to certify products containing sustainably grown palm oil.

 

Today, many of the biggest producers of things such as chocolate,  shampoo,  chips,  household cleaning products,  cosmetics,  and even pet foods are members of RSPO and claim their palm oil comes from sustainable sources.

It is often difficult to tell which products contain palm oil though,  because Australian guidelines allow more generic terms like "vegetable oil" or "vegetable fat" to be listed on product packaging instead.

 

And palm oil is the most widely used "vegetable oil" in the world.

 

Many have criticised RSPO, saying it provides cover for corporate palm oil stakeholders to carry on with business as usual.

Smoke from California's wildfires is drifting across the US to New York — and it's making pretty sunsets

California's recent wildfires have killed at least 82 people.   Nearly 700 others are still missing.

The recent scourge of wildfires in California has claimed the lives of at least 82 people, and authorities report that nearly 700 others are still missing.

The Camp Fire in Northern California has proven to be the deadliest in the state's history, killing 79 people. The blaze has scorched more than 150,000 acres of land, destroyed more than 15,000 buildings, and is about 70% contained as of Tuesday.

Wildfire smoke from California has reached New York City, 3,000 miles away

Anthony Wexler, the director of the Air Quality Research Center at the University of California, Davis, packed his bags and drove his family out to the coast.  

They're escaping the smoke.

Davis, California, sits amid a layer of wildfire smoke in Northern California. To the northwest, the largest fire in state history, the Mendocino Complex Fire, continues to burn. To the southeast, the Ferguson Fire has closed down smoke-choked Yosemite National Park indefinitely. And to the North, the Carr Fire, infamous for its towering fire tornado, still burns.

 

The air quality in the region around the fires — whose spread has been enhanced by extreme heat parching the land — is some of the worst in the world

"I decided to go out to the coast for a couple days because it was so ridiculous," Wexler said.

California just had its hottest month on record, and that means more wildfires

Predicted hot California temperatures on August 8, 2018.

https://mashable.com/2018/08/08/california-hottest-month-july-fires/#oCjnLJ0oamqQ

 

It should come as no surprise that California is burning. 

On Wednesday, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported that July was California's hottest month since record keeping began in 1895.

 

Those scorching temperatures withered the land, creating profoundly parched forests primed to catch fire with just a spark.

Not to mention certain people in a certain region of the world which apparently has Biblical references. The whole region in fact, you know that area which certain Western countries feel they have to either invade or 'sort out', if you like.Apparently, it's a good region to test the latest weapons of mass destruction, things like depleted uranium etc etc

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
