Check out a scientifically based book called
"Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1500 Years"
Well, I looked it up. Its by Dennis Avery of the Hudson Institute (a
right-wing, "Think" Tank) and Fred Singer.
Avery is that despicable fraud, industry sycophant, right-wing extremist,
anti-organic agriculture,
anti-environment who collaborates with all the types (including certain unamed religious lobbying groups who whine that
much-needed environmental legislation offends their sensitivities, i.e. is offensive to their religion; there may be
something in their hallowed tome about that, what else) that are trying to brainwash the public into believing that the
current climate change crisis in NOT man-made, that it is a natural cyclical event-in-progess and that we do not need to
worry at all about atmospheric pollution, especially from industry, loss of farmland, the burningof fossil fuels,
energy-inefficient architecture and transportation, loss of greenspace, loss of forest and prairieland, loss of
diversity on land or in the seas, lakes and rivers (ponds and creeks too), loss of soil quality, loss of soil flora and
microflora, microorganisms, phytoplankton and algae and the like in bodies of water. A recent study demonstrated that
the presence of atrazine (a real nasty herbicide) causes algae to have lower protein content. Algae is an important food
for fish. A good start to combat global warming would be to change farming methods and materials, cropping schemes and
weed and other predator control and recycle livestock and human waste onto farmland to supply that land with at least
the basic components of plant nutrition so that a wide variety of crops, orchards, tree and nursery farms can flourish
and output oxygen to the atmosphere and store carbon in the ground and in plant tissues.
