Tawangmangu, Indonesia (AFP) Dec 30, 2007

A new landslide buried more than 30 homes on Indonesia's Java island Sunday as rescue workers continued searching for victims of earlier landslides and floods, an official said.

No one was injured when the landslide hit Tengklik village in Tawangmangu area of Central Java around 1:00 pm, health ministry official Rustam Pakaya said.

"Fortunately, there are no lives lost, however 177 people are displaced," Pakaya said.

The landslides and floods have killed at least 65 people in heavily populated Central and East Java after torrential rains lashed the region.

Search teams were continuing to dig manually and use water to clear the mud to find victims.

Rescuers have been hampered by a lack of heavy earth-moving equipment as landslides, poor weather and large fallen trees hindered their progress.

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono was touring disaster areas in Central Java.

While activists blame such landslides on the disappearance of trees that stabilise soil and help absorb rain, local officials have insisted the unusually heavy downfalls have destabilised already vulnerable hilly areas.

Landslides and flooding are common in Indonesia during the rainy season, which hits a peak from December to February.

Jakarta Under Flood Attack

2008-12-20T06:53:00.000-08:00

Three days with no government is really happened in Jakarta, when the flood suddenly attack more than 70% of Jakarta area, the Jakarta resident easily found that there were no geovernment during that period of Attack.

While in my opinion, the flood attack just simply because that Jakarta no longer have a green area in the city, there were no large park and also the Jakarta water cannal is really really bad. The industries also take a part on this flood because they do not taking care of the environment. The industries makes Jakarta fall down under the sea surface level. The water in the rivers of Jakarta can’t easily deliver its water into the sea.

So, The government of Jakarta should stop giving permit for the development of the new mall, apartement, and also other high rise building and soo to develop many large park and build many lake in the city. Other effort shoould be done soon if the government do not wish to see flood that will sink Jakarta in the next 2012.

And for the people of Jakarta that will run a governor election, please choose the next governor wisely, choose the governor who have a vision for more environment friendly for Jakarta

global warming

The polar bear was officially listed as threatened under the U.S. endangered species act (ESA) on May 14, 2008. This the first creature brought under the act's protection for habitat loss that is linked to global warming. The official reason given was loss of Arctic sea ice and predictions that the ice will continue to decrease. Although global warming has been identified by most atmospheric and polar scientists as the main reason for Arctic warming and melting of sea ice, the U.S. Interior Department did not use this as a reason and clearly signaled it would not apply the law to greenhouse gas emissions.

Dirk Kempthorne, Interior Secretary, specifically said the listing would not prevent any sea ice from melting and that he would "make certain the ESA isn't abused to make global warming policies." This despite clear language in the ESA to control any activity causing harm to a listed species and requiring government agencies specifically not to jeopardize species by their actions. The wording of the listing document appears to be an attempt of the government to list the bear due to clear evidence of shrinking habitat yet not take all the steps to limit the loss. It seems analogous to President Bush's notorious "signing statements" limiting his acceptance of a Congressional law.

This could set up another court challenge by NGOs like the Center for Biological Diversity which originally brought the proposal and took the Interior Dept to court twice to get action.

"Threatened" under the ESA means a plant or animal may soon become endangered (at immediate risk of going extinct) if actions are not taken to protect it and its habitat.
