More than two dozen buildings, including the Barneveld Volunteer Fire Department, collapsed after parts of Central New York received several feet of snow last week.
A lake-effect snowstorm started Feb. 14 and did not let up until Feb. 19, piling feet of snow on roofs.
According to a news release, the main part of the Barneveld Firehouse in Oneida County collapsed on Feb. 22 after station members found structural damage and were trying to remove snow from the roof.
Video taken from across the street at Beaver Meadow Veterinary Clinic showed the moment the station building went down under the weight of snow.
Department officials said members were at the station about 3 p.m. when they heard "popping sounds" and discovered structural damage to the front truss of the station.
While some members began removing equipment from the station, others tried to remove snow from the roof. A local contractor was called in and a ladder truck from the Stittville Fire Department arrived to help.
"While some of our crews were removing snow from the roof other members started coming up with a plan to start shoring up the structure," station leaders said in a statement. "After a short time it was determined that the building had become too unstable, and our members were removed from the area and the building collapsed a short time later."
No one was injured during the collapse.
Department equipment was moved to the Trenton Highway Department facility and other equipment is being stored at the Newport and Floyd fire departments.
"Please be rest assured that the members of the Barneveld Vol. Fire Department are ready to respond just like we always have since 1838," a statement from the fire department said.

According to town officials, the Trenton recycling center and Old Town Highway building both partially collapsed this week. Last week, the Barneveld Fire Station responded to a building collapse in the Mapledale Business District when the HUD-Son Forest Equipment shipping and receiving building gave way.
In nearby Oswego County, officials said 26 structures caved in due to the snow. More than 6.5 feet of snow was recorded in parts of Oswego County during the lake-effect snowstorm last week.

Don't buy a car from this man.
according to my sources the level of oceans should have been dramatically increased to the point of having England underwater
i need to check my sources
yeah it says "al gore"
And it's happening in multiple places. So the weight is breaking the continents apart which makes it even more difficult to determine how bad it actually will be and could happen at any minute. A fracture that is too much to bear will send the planet into chaos all at once instead of a gradual and avoidable rise they are hoping for.
And so I went 3d degree in my comment "in max 15 years London will be underwater" - I don't believe Uk shall see any such effect
somehow
this shows that it could be that culling all cows wouldn't actually solve the matter
but overall it's even worse - it's saying "nature is bad"
people would start looking at cows as "negative"
I would appreciate that the people hinting at cow methane factors that one in
and so we would find that there are 100 factories (an example caricaturing such study) spitting all together 10'000 chemicals
but no - they say "it's the cows"
but look, you are perfectly right, methan should be damaging for the lungs. It's, technically, but we ought to study if this is the culprit. I believe that an objective study would find additional factors than "cow methane" as a source of trouble, and that they would DISCARD cow farts in their conclusion.
I know you don't imply that cow farts are a factor
You know... I won't let people freely running by "cow are bad". I estimate that such perspective is too damaging for the mind and that a proportionate answer is actually possible. Kind of a fight for normal people. I am staring at a very damaging concept that nobody seems to perceive and so - I go front flamethrower
In France, they have been issuing a report called ESOD meaning "Nefarious Wild Species Classification" (something like that)
And in it, you would find crows and oak jays - the French govt set those as "Nuisible/nefarious" species (and of course they would issue related laws allowing actions). Pretty sad
I suppose that when you point out a potential regulation in regard of cows - it shows where the problem starts. The ESOD text, for example, already went by such step. thank you it's precious to me.
It highlights a whole process gone wrong.
With your bird eye view - Let me ask you: can you pinpoint the stuff even above, in the chain-of action? Seems you could.
I would see "people sitting around a table and putting the subject"
Its the same as throwing gas on a fire. You can say "Oh this much won't do anything." But you know there is an amount that you can throw on it that will cause problems but you dont know the exact amount because fire is unpredictable. So it's always best to just not continue to throw gas on the fire.
On a side note, I found a quote inspiring me - could be that you would like it or find it interesting:
Previous studies have taken the desirability of peace, the importance of human life, the superiority of democratic institutions, the greatest “good” for the greatest number, the “dignity” of the individual, the desirability of maximum health and longevity, and other such wishful premises as axiomatic values necessary for the justification of a study of peace issues. We have not found them so. [...] In this case [the normative value] has been simply the survival of human society in general, of American society in particular, and, as a corollary to survival, the stability of this society.
most people just go by "peace" when it would be "the level of desirability of peace" that would actually be a good tool for assessing a person fit for a peaceful society

It's said that the wolf is part of the perennial basic ecosystem - but - they still go on kill them
From there I allwo myself to cast doubt when the same govt issues orders against "crows" - I tend to believe "those guys won't see things as they are"
Previous studies have taken the desirability of peace, the importance of human life, the superiority of democratic institutions, the greatest “good” for the greatest number, the “dignity” of the individual, the desirability of maximum health and longevity, and other such wishful premises as axiomatic values necessary for the justification of a study of peace issues.
The quote is allegedly a satire and allegedly shows how a military think tank studied the matter - they end up with:
We have not found them so.
And according to their conclusion they eventually find out (it appears that as a satire, such conclusions are not to be taken as granted):
In this case [the normative value] has been simply the survival of human society in general, of American society in particular, and, as a corollary to survival, the stability of this society.
What strikes me is that the basic person would be acting out of "survival" - and that "desirability of peace" is not a factor. I don't agree with this.
We see, here, the basic buildup of psychopaths - those would be solely acting out of "survival".
Unfortunately, our society, our world IS much depending on that "basic primitive survival" (etc) so I won't argue about the state of affairs. But it seems that human beings indeed have things more refined than such primitive impulses. I would say that they should be ambassadors and that the desirability of peace is an intrinsic feature of human beings. That it's not that developped or valued is another question.
Well, any way, this article left me thinking!
pff made it through I guess
yes I see this. What remains there? To mourn? I would try and try to hint at the real responsible people
I highlighted some bridge from invasive >> destroy
We should agree to define the exact trait you would bind to humans. I suppose that they would "tend to geographically progress" for example. I suppose it has to do with some innate "imperialist" trait. Or "greed".
Well any way, you mention "invasion". I really don't know. I would tend to tell you I don't agree
What I would say is that today's humans may have been made to become invasive - as well
that's not who they intrinsically are
would this make sense?
too many psychos, greed, movies, etc etc etc
On that note it's about time Canadian LM should wake up
I expect to see some otters and things around
Guess I should not anticipate, but well, why not?

People have a drive in their DNA known as "having a purpose." That purpose being to acquire more whether that's knowledge, land, wealth, or a mate.
Invasive species is any species that has been introduced to an environment where it is not native, and that has since become a nuisance through rapid spread and increase in numbers, often to the detriment of native species.
You don't understand the dynamics and complexity of the systems.
Because the distribution of Earth’s mass is uneven, Earth’s gravity is also uneven. Therefore, the ocean’s surface isn’t actually a perfect sphere or ellipsoid; it is a bumpy surface. As the land-based ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica continue to unload their mass (lose ice) from far above sea level and far from the tropics, that mass reaches the sea in the form of meltwater that is then redistributed along Earth’s gravity field.The areas farthest from the melted ice will see the most sea level rise as a result. Conversely, areas nearest to Greenland and Antarctica will see the least amount of sea level rise (and some areas will actually see sea levels drop). Scientists even track the annual cycle of ice sheet mass losses to further refine their sea level rise measurements.Between 1993 and 2018, sea level rose 12 to 15 millimeters per year (about half an inch per year) in some regions, and went down by that amount in others. But on average, it has gone up by about 3 millimeters per year (about 28 millimeters, or 1-1/8 inches, per decade) in that same period.
And sea front property is having the worst years it has ever had

1) definitely happening
2) perfectly precise
Satellite LIDAR measurements have not shown any serious anomolies.
Proof? If the satellites did, you can be sure that the tree hugger screachers would be singing this from their treetops.
Go back to your flat earph and stuff the mouth with snacks, i'm tired of reading retarded comments.
huh I figured you were a flat earther all this time . go figure .
Fact 1
There are satellites that do LIDAR surveys for Earth surface changes.
Fact 2
There are those that would sound the alarm vociferously if something was amiss.
Fact 3
The communist press would shove it down our throats if the earph needed doses of Ozempic for an expanding waistline.
Next....
What are these"LIDAR"(something else you don't know what it means) satellites even looking for that it would consider an anomaly?
Who would sound alarms? They are already sounding alarms. Do you think global warming happens overnight? That you will wake up one day and it will have happened?
Communist countries aren't putting out factual news so why would it matter what they said? They say crazy shit all the time because they are communist. They don't need a reason to do it.
These are facts. Do better. Read a book
I'm done. Jousting with retards makes me feel stupid. You are the one that should read books and work on understanding the stuff that I actually work on.
Ciao.
So I don't understand why you believe LIDAR surveys the Earths surface when it doesn't even reach the surface? I'm sure you feel stupid most of your waking day. Just because you scrub the toilets at a newsroom doesn't mean you work on the technology.
Class dismissed.
I suppose that if global mind control was military such would be the overall scent in people's minds
Seems it has to do with the necessity of cultivating or "desirability of peace"
at the same time.
