Environmental News For The Week Ending 16 May 2019

Environmental News For The Week Ending 16 May 2019 This is a collection of interesting news articles about the environment and related topics published last week. This is usually a Tuesday evening regular post at GEI (but can be posted at other times). Please share this article - Go to very top of page, right hand side, for social media buttons. Note: Because of the high volume of news regarding the coronavirus outbreak, that news has been published separately: Covid seemed to drop out of the news this week; usually, I ll see virus stories on news sites most read or recent news lists; this week I had to go looking for them. Part of the reason was that the East Coast fuel pipeline shutdown dominated the headlines, but the underlying reason is that new cases in the US and globally are falling rapidly, even in India. And the news organizations are reluctant to cover a story that bleeds less this week than it did last week.

Crews battle another Badlands wildfire; North Dakota Drought Hotline activated

Both developments came amid worsening extreme drought in North Dakota. The Roosevelt Creek Fire encompassed about 900 acres, or about 1 ½ square miles, in Billings County, with zero containment by late afternoon, according to Misty Hayes, district ranger for the Medora Ranger District of the Little Missouri National Grassland. The fire started on Wednesday about 6 miles north of Wannagan Campground, north of the South Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. It was burning in rugged Badlands terrain. The cause wasn t known. No ranches threatened right now; some oil wells in the area but no immediate threat, Hayes said. Larger fires this spring include ones that burned about 3 ½ square miles in the Medora area and an 8-square-mile blaze in the North Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park.
