It seems that every few minutes another story emerges declaring that the end of the world is near. Now that the global warming scam is unravelling, and all but politicians and greenies with hands in the cookie jar are rejecting the idea, someone has restored an old doomsday scenario. Fertile Soil is disappearing. Now, again, I have no idea if this is going on. My guess is it is but because of farming and land policy rather than farmers and land owners but that is a different issue.
So before we start trotting out the lines of we must do something, followed rapidly by give us some money and stop doing this, can we at least look at what is going on. We have thousands of years experience, billions if you look at us all together regarding soil management. We can work out if it is an issue or not.
If it is an issue, which I suspect is not the case, we already know ways around this from composting and other soil improvements to aquaculture. All of which do not require us returning to the stone age or giving 40% of our income, before tax to the government or quangoes acting on behalf of the government.
Personally, I coming around to the idea that is we executed all these whingy whiney greenies, the politicians who encourage them and the media who suck up to the politicians we will solve all the worlds problems. We would cut down on waste and inefficiency, cut the number of people, stop implementing policies that harm rather than help and we would all be a million times happier, not be killing each other and have a positive outlook just without the media alone.
I notice in the article that climate change was mentioned as a cause – they are hanging on to that band wagon as long as possible. As you say, removing the greenies and their political hangers on should stop some of this fear mongering. It won’t remove all because governments require fear in the population for control.
This whole scare story is just that because there are many ways of increasing food production – hydroponics being one of them. Unfortunately, if governments get involved – especially the present one in the UK – then knee jerk reactions will follow, to the detriment of all.
cut the number of people
Explain that one.
Ivan,
I agree but people are waking up to this style of government. They can’t keep doing it forever.
James,
By the whingy whiney greenies and Politicians of course.
