‘Minds were blown’: These scientists were stunned at what’s happening on the NSW North Coast
“This means Forestry Corporation NSW plans to log three times more compartments of state forest within the proposed Great Koala National Park over the next year than they did over the last two years combined"
“It is spectacular. All the variants of this Gondwana rainforest – cool and warm, temperate rainforest and also the subtropical rainforest – is something that is so unique globally that you wouldn’t find it in this particular combination elsewhere... Professor Helge Bruelheide, professor of botany at the University of Helle in Germany, was stunned by what he has seen exploring the forests in and around the promised Great Koala National Park on the state’s North Coast this week."
“The tempo, the scale, the intensity of logging has all ramped up since labour was elected. It is a pillage. It’s a smash-and-grab operation by a loss-making Crown corporation. They are jamming boiled lollies in their mouth as they bolt down the street,” say Graham, who feels let down by Labor."
"One of the reasons the Victorian industry was eventually closed was because citizen scientists proved the state loggers were not properly protecting greater gliders. The failures cost VicForests millions of dollars in fines and access to forests it needed."
"As the legal challenges wind their way through the courts, the NCC is about to ramp up the pressure by announcing the creation of Breachwatch, a network of volunteers trained and equipped to monitor, record and report evidence of Forestry Corp breaches."

@noagendashownoteslinks I remember summer 20-25 years ago we had some highs in the 111-117 range. I’d like to remind these ass clowns that not everyone is as dumb as their faithful viewers and supporters. 🤮 Make geology mandatory if you want to destroy the climate change agenda. #gondwana #pangea (lol I don’t use hashtags)
Just in case the kids ask this question.
Why are there hopping mice in Australia but no kangaroos in Asia? It's a long story

#AmitShah will be in #MadhyaPradesh’s Balaghat to launch the six-day Veerangana Rani Durgavati Gaurav Yatra, an initiative of the Shivraj Singh Chouhan-led #BJP State government to honour the legacy of 16th-century #Gondwana kingdom Queen Durgavati.

The #glacier went that-a-way
The #striations on this face of the #Ediacaran (ca. 560 Ma) #Squantum Member of the #Roxbury #Conglomerate were probably left by the #Pleistocene #Laurentide ice sheet, which retreated ca. 12 ka. The striations have the right orientation, from northwest to southeast.
The Squantum Member was once interpreted as a (#glacial) #tillite. The most common contemporary model is a peri-#Gondwana #debrite (#turbidite).

Let's hope the #QLD planning and environment court gives the correct result on this also! #NoWay #Water mining near Queensland’s #Gondwana rainforest ‘unacceptably risky’, opponents say https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/feb/27/water-mining-near-queenslands-gondwana-rainforest-unacceptably-risky-opponents-say?CMP=share_btn_tw
Quincy or #BlueHills #Porphyry #Granite
An alkaline, nonorogenic granite intruded into #Avalonia in the #Silurian / #Ordovician as it cruised from peri-#Gondwana to #Laurentia, before assembling #Pangea in the #Acadian #Orogeny (#Devonian). It’s coarse, with the #phenocrysts of amphiboles(?) (possibly riebeckite?)…I’m no petrologist. From@the Eaton’s Pond conservation area@at the #Braintree #Quincy border. My photos.

Springbrook NP is in south east Queensland, in parts on the border with NSW. It is in the hills west of the Gold Coast and is well worth a visit. There are waterfalls, rainforest, walking trails, and lookouts, and it is part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area. It also contains some Antarctic Beech trees, and you can stand on the remnants of the Tweed volcano, which was originally over 100km in diameter. #naturephotography #landscapephography #SpringbrookNP #Queensland #australia #AntarcticBeech #Gondwana

On a hot sunny day deep in the Gondwana rainforest lies a jumble of moss covered boulders. Fern fronds punctuate the foreground while glimpses of the tall trees can be seen in background.

For this #ManospondylusMonday I recommend the article where I discover a newfound appreciation for Araucaria and its long history and co-evolution with dinosaurs. You can read it here: https://www.manospondylus.com/2022/10/sparing-thought-for-some-fossil-plants.html
