Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[Dieter Brand <diebrand@yahoo.com>]

We don't have to believe anyone. We just have to apply a little common sense:

 

A) For a few generations to burn up all the fossil fuel reserves of this planet is

in itself in the highest degree irresponsible and borders on the criminal.

B) To claim that the release within such a short period of time of the carbon

that has been accumulated over millions of years by plant photosynthesis

is not going to have an effect on the environment is to be naive, dishonest

or politically biased because of vested interests.

 

Anybody can understand this without resorting to any science whatsoever.

Now, what is going to be the result of all this? I don't believe anybody really

knows. But that doesn't change the fact that we have to cut down on fossil

fuel consumption and carbon emissions in a drastic way. Because, whatever

the outcome, there are bound to be a few nasty surprises ahead of us. And

those who are already speculating that a bit more warmth may play to their

advantage may very well be in for a few surprises too.

 

In the last few generations, human sapiens has for the first time in the history

of this planet acquired the technical means by which to commit collective

suicide while taking part of creation with him. This requires a higher degree

of responsibility with which we need to treat ourselves and nature. We cannot

go on living like a 19th century baron using the resources of this plant at

our leisure.

Who do we believe.  On TV the other day was a respected scientist saying that 19,000 scientist has signed a paper that global warming is natural and that some scientist have actually changed temperatures to "prove" it is changing fast and that is not true.   I have since gone on the internet and there is a mountain of info saying the same thing.

 

Corporations will lie, etc to get business just like bird flue vacine for humans, etc.
