Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["E. E. Mitchamore Jr" <emitch@att.net>]

I have viewed the video and was perplexed.  I couldn't see the motivation for creating it.  It was well produced and dramatic, with many people presented as scientists and experts (equally as unknown to me as those in pro-climate-change movies).  The best I could come up with is the desire that we should continue consuming as much as possible - hardly a motive to trust.

 

I see no way that we, the general public, can understand the science well enough to make informed decisions about global or national issues.  I'm a technologist (mechanical engineer), with a life-long interest in the environment, and I can't begin to understand the intricacies that are being presented.  Consequently, as I said (somewhere) earlier, I'll follow my Grandmother's advice: Hope for the Best and Prepare for the Worst.  Currently that means studying nutrition and intensive gardening.  

 

BTW, if anyone has suggestions for study along those lines, I'd love to hear them.  I've just finished the following:

 

Real Food by Nina Planck
Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon

Nope. I'm on slow dialup and if its on Youtube it ought to be in plain text
too. FYI I have followed ALL perspectives and evidence on the subject for
years. I see nothing convincing about causes or remedies, except that
global warming is fact, and the Bushites and oil companies have spent tons
of money denying it and paying a handful of scientists big money to argue
against it with fake science. The richest and most powerful lobbies in this
country have a lot to lose if the people start conserving energy and
demanding cuts in greenhouse gases. That's not to say it would do any good,
just that we need to look where the vested interests and  hidden agendas
lie.

Follow the money.
