“Italy's Important Po Valley Is In The Midst Of A 70-Year Drought
OVER 100 TOWNS ARE RATIONING WATER IN THE MOST IMPORTANT AGRICULTURAL REGIONS OF ITALY”
“The snow in the Alps in Piedmont and Lombardy has totally run out,” Utilitalia said in a statement. “If this helped to replenish the flows of the Po in May, the large reservoir that usually acts as a buffer in the summer months is depleted. All the measurement stations along the Po, with the exception of Piacenza, are in severe drought conditions, with flow rates well below the average for the period."
“The implications of this are far-reaching. The Alps that feed this crucial river are dry. Many might have imagined that dire circumstances such as this would be far into the future. But no, this is happening today in the garden of Europe.”

Australian bees in crisis:
“Varroa Crisis Deepens….
Following on from the discovery of two hives infected with varroa mites near the port of Newcastle on Wednesday last week, and the creation of a Biosecurity Emergency Order on Friday 24 June prohibiting the movement of bees and hives within a 50-kilometre radius, the crisis has deepened with the discovery of a number of other infested hives.
The first two hives belonged to a group of six sentinel hives scattered around the port that are specifically designed to monitor biosecurity. But mites were also detected in the hives of a beekeeper located nearby, and at a fourth undisclosed site. Hives in all of the affected sites have been destroyed.
This prompted a Statewide Energency Order, effective 6:00 p.m. today, Sunday 26 June, that forbids the movement of all bees in NSW. The order will be enforced by police, alongside biosecurity officers of the state government and Local Land Services.
NSW Minister for Agriculture, Dugald Saunders, said, ‘The lockdown is a fairly strict one and it's a message to all beekeepers both hobby and professionally that we need them to be helping monitor the situation and making sure that we don't see varroa mite spread across the state.’
Meanwhile, the acting CEO of the Australian Honey Bee Council, Danny Le Feuvre said he was hopeful that the outbreak could be contained, commenting, ‘We've had incursions in the past, and we're really confident that we've still got this contained, we haven't got any new detections outside the Port of Newcastle.’
Mr Le Feuvre said that the mites probably arrived on a cargo ship, and that they had been sent for molecular testing to determine their origin. He also confirmed that compensation would be available for beekeepers whose hives are destroyed - one beekeeper estimated there could be thousands of hives in the eradication zone. However, in another worrying new development, the Department of Primary Industries discovered that a commercial beekeeper whose premises are situated near the port of Newcastle had recently moved some hives to Trangie, 450 kilometres west (confirming rumours last week that some commercial beekeepers may be hurrying to remove their bees from the emergency zone). Fortunately, these hives have been cleared of mites, but will be euthanised as a precaution.
It is worth reiterating New Zealand’s experience with varroa; the NZ government decided that eradication of the mites was impossible within three months of their first discovery in the country. We have one chance to eliminate these pests, and decisive action must be taken.
On Friday, we advocated an immediate ban on the interstate movement of bees from NSW, and the revised Emergency Order is certainly a step in the right direction. But there is a ‘perfect storm’ on the horizon; the almond pollination season commences in about a month, when more than 200,000 hives from all over southeast Australia will be trucked into almond orchards in Victoria and South Australia. If the mites aren’t stopped at Newcastle, this undoubtedly has the potential to become a ‘super spreader’ event, and then, sadly, it will be game over.”

“That's pretty much the beginning of the GAME OVER screen. Centuries of drought are awaiting us and we are still not even talking about transitioning to an actual economy. Famines, unrest, mass exodus, hoarding, resource wars ... just never-ending suffering for our children. Italy is completely running out of water. Like most other west coasts.”

“And on the 8th day of creation, humans took over from God and created capitalism. And capitalism took over from humans and looked down upon them and said: “you are mine now”. And humans looked at their wallets, and they were full of money. And they bought everything they could buy, and killed everything in the Garden of Eden, packaged it in plastic and carried it into the supermarket. And on the 8th day of creation, the supermarket ran out of products. The Earth was scorched, and the oceans were full of dead fish. And humans turned to God, but God was nowhere to be found.
