Schools Closing Across Rural America Permanently

Immigrants kept rural America alive...Without immigrants the aged caucuasian populations that populate these areas predominantly are disappearing.White America is quietly self-segregating and in doing so sealing their fate as climate change and high UV radiation sterilize non melanated populations.Part of it is nonwhite Americans leaving urban enclaves and going to the suburbs. It's a fulfillment of the traditional American dream — a path European immigrants took in past generations to leave poor, segregated neighborhoods that relegated them to a lower social class.Data shows that as minorities move into suburbs, white families are making small and personal decisions that add velocity to the momentum of discrimination. They are increasingly choosing to self-segregate into racially isolated communities Many of those moving into suburbs are adding solar panels and electric vehicles as part of their move expenses to offset commuting and rising energy costs.Also the USA is seeing a resurgence of the victory garden.During tough times generations of Americans have turned to food gardening as a way to help feed their families, and our country's current economic downturn is no exception. A recent poll projects a 20 percent rise in the number of households growing vegetables this year over last. In addition to putting food on the table,  this renewed interest in growing one's own food spark a sense of empowerment and community pride many people are also once again planting fruit trees instead of the maples and oak or pine trees most have become accustomed to seeing.A recent report not only tied the persistence of white flight to race, it found that a large amount of white people leaving a neighborhood is more likely to occur in a middle class one, rather than a poor area. The demographic change in America is the economic rise of the formerly marginalized populations who have children and are much younger overall. For white Americans, 56 is the most common age. ... This compares with a median age of just 31 for minorities in the USA.White flight is often reduced to a black and white issue, but the study showed that this phenomenon continued to occur even when it’s Hispanics or Asian residents diversifying middle class neighborhoods. The study found that white flight becomes more likely in middle class neighborhoods when the presence of Hispanics and Asians exceeds 25% and 21%, respectively. About 531 counties have seen their median age decline since 2010, and the majority of those were in Midwestern states.More than 90 percent of the population in four states — Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and West Virginia — is made up of non-Hispanic white residents.20 % percent of the populations in Maine and West Virginia were older than 65, In Vermont, the share of the population age 65 or older is 19 percent and the median age of the state is 50..the highest median ages are in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.States with the highest percentages of White Americans, as of 2010:

Vermont 96.2%
Maine 95.5%
New Hampshire 95.0%
West Virginia 94.3%
Iowa 92.9%
Idaho 92.1%
Wyoming 91.6%
Minnesota 90.94%

Soaring Heat In North Africa and the Persian Gulf Can Make It Uninhabitable

Desalinization plants and growing hemp fields as a border between arable lands and the coast would create a paradise in North Africa!The world’s largest and cheapest reverse-osmosis desalination plant is up and running in Israel.the world’s largest modern seawater desalination plant, providing 20 percent of the water consumed by the country’s households. Built for the Israeli government by Israel Desalination Enterprises, or IDE Technologies, at a cost of around $500 million, it uses a conventional desalination technology called reverse osmosis (RO). Thanks to a series of engineering and materials advances, however, it produces clean water from the sea cheaply and at a scale never before achieved.

Demonstrating that seawater desalination can cost-effectively provide a substantial portion of a nation’s water supply.
Why It Matters?The world’s supplies of fresh water are inadequate to meet the needs of a growing population.
Key Players
IDE Technologies
Poseidon Water
Desalitech

Worldwide, some 700 million people don’t have access to enough clean water. In 10 years the number is expected to explode to 1.8 billion. In many places, squeezing fresh water from the ocean might be the only viable way to increase the supply.
The new plant in Israel, called Sorek, was finished in late 2013 but is just now ramping up to its full capacity; it will produce 627,000 cubic meters of water daily, providing evidence that such large desalination facilities are practical. Indeed, desalinated seawater is now a mainstay of the Israeli water supply. Whereas in 2004 the country relied entirely on groundwater and rain, it now has four seawater desalination plants running; Sorek is the largest. Those plants account for 40 percent of Israel’s water supply. By 2016, when additional plants will be running, some 50 percent of the country’s water is expected to come from desalination.

Maternity Ward Closures In Rural America

An ethical concern is that the number of women who want children but aren’t having them is growing. “the gap between the number of children that women say they want to have (2.7) and the number of children they will probably actually have (1.8) has risen to the highest level in 40 years.”

But as these numbers show, many women do not have such a choice. That brings us to the science. Following a significant drop in the birthrate after the 2008 recession, women are continuing to have fewer children. Why hasn’t the rate recovered?
Even though sociologists and economists agree that the economy plays a role. One study even found fertility rates to be a “leading economic indicator” — predicting downturns (and upticks) in advance — while another found the sharp decline in fertility rates to be “not as closely linked to the souring of the economy” that began around 2008.
One reason for the continuing low fertility rates, then, is that the low birth rates seem to be affecting only the non melanated populations globally! meaning those people without dark skinand the Eumelanin protection that offers.Sperm count in men from North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand declined by 50-60% between 1973 and 2011 A study from from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Surprisingly, the study, which analyzed data on the sperm counts of 42,935 men, found no decline in sperm counts in men from Asia, Africa and South America! Predominantly Melanated populations!The white  world currently is afflicted by widespread infertility and childless communities are left hovering on the brink of collapse. Children of Men and The Handmaid’s Tale once thought to be wholly fiction provide perfect examples of these unsettling narratives.Earlier this year, the World Health Organisation described current knowledge of male infertility as “very low”, a relative ignorance that has since been acknowledged by the UK Medical Research Council, which has issued a call for scientists to put forward projects in the field for funding.“The end of humanity is not approaching,” said Sharpe. “But at the individual level, for affected people, this trend could be tragic. We have no treatments for improving sperm production in infertile men, and we have no idea about what is the cause of the condition. We cannot remedy it. So we are completely hamstrung.”But surprisingly the fact that this is also affecting caucasian women has been downplayed.Unlike women of African descent when a white woman reaches the age of 32 her chances of conceiving start to decrease gradually but significantly until, by 40, they have fallen by half. “This creates a double whammy for fertility in modern western societies,” said Sharpe. “Couples wait until they are over 30 and then find that one or both have reproduction problems.While Africa and Southern India are seeing population booms The rate at which babies are being born in the UK has fallen to its lowest level for a decade.According to data released in July, 28 per cent of live births the UK are to foreign-born women An ONS projection released last month found the UK population is expected to reach 70 million in the next 10 years but 54 per cent of this will be fuelled by external immigration the majority from African nations.About 9% of men and about 11% of women of reproductive age in the United States have experienced fertility problems.According to a Norwegian study solar activity at time of birth predicted infant survival and a caucasian women's fertility! The Norwegian study looked at 8,600 people born between 1676 and 1878. In Singapore, sun intensity and UV radiation peaks from 11am to 3pm. It is common for the index to reach extreme levels during a four-hour period Singapore currently  has the lowest fertility rate in the world! Minister in the Prime Minister's Office Josephine Teo on Thursday (Mar 1) revealed that Singapore’s total fertility rate (TFR) dropped to 1.16 in 2017, making it the lowest figure since 1.15 in 2010 and the second lowest ever recorded.New Zealand has naturally high UV levels NZ has seen the lowest recorded levels of births per woman in New Zealand, according to Stats NZ. The country's total fertility rate in 2017 was down to an average of 1.81 births per woman over their lifetime - which is the lowest fertility rate the country has seen.
