It’s funny how the people complaining about climate change never explain or encourage people to help the problem. They just say that driving a car and existing is the issue. Well, “climate change” is a surprisingly easy fix. People would be surprised how malleable and engineerable the land and... environment is. The key is to slow down wind and water. Just like in an impact, the airbag extends time. Even fractions of a second. To lower damage. Same with water and wind. This allows for roots to lock in the moving sand. Sand is just the foundation of soil. Like an empty condo building waiting to be filled. Once drought tolerant plants take hold they start a cycle that literally pulls water from the ground and the air to create cycles of rain. This breaths life which creates organic matter to populate the sand. The neverending infinite sun sparks cycle of growth that requires no input. Here’s where you come in. Ironically, just grasslands or just forests don’t have as much life as the boundary heavy mix and matched grid of human villages and farms. Just like in a coral reef by the shoreline, maximum life exists at the boundary between two worlds. That differential is how energy is made. China is plugging their weakness. Food. Will America face its weakness? Productivity?show more

Just as a healthy Foundation is integral to a strong and sustainable structure, healthy Soil is integral to the integrity and cohesiveness of the planet. For the very first time, Soil–which is the Foundation of Life on this planet– is moving toward centerstage in the ecological narrative. How quickly & how effectively we Act to restore soil health could well determine the perpetuity or otherwise of the human race. -Sg #WorldSoilDay #SaveSoil #ConsciousPlanet UN Land and Drought Ibrahim Thiaw Conscious Planet #SaveSoil

Cllr George Finch is an idiot. We need to be talking about climate change, how to cope with the problems it creates and how to slow it down. Climate change is driving up the cost of living, the price of food, the price of power, the price of insurance and it is killing people, leading to wars and migration. It is making us all a lot poorer.

🇨🇳 CHINA IS TURNING DESERT INTO FARMLAND China is bulldozing dunes flat to slow the winds that whip sand across the land. Then they plant drought-proof trees like sand willow, with roots that reach deep enough to lock the ground in place. The combo stops the desert from moving and blocks sandstorms. Every year they reclaim about 930 square miles of desert, nearly half the size of Los Angeles, and transform it into grasslands, forests, and farmland. Source: civilext_

This is scripted for people look how many people are in the street this is about the amount that you would have to do a shoot like this. This is not organic. You have to understand the difference in Camera work and the amount of people moving around how they treat the camera, etc

Neil Oliver: "Al Gore and and and the rest of them, they've all got beachfront property...I think the reality is that they know, like the rest of us do, that yes we have climate change, the climate is changeable, the climate is variable like it always has been. But this nonsense about a climate crisis and about a world at boiling point and a world about to burst into flames is errant nonsense." "Putting solar panels everywhere and then the next thing is let's turn down the power of the sun. There's no joined up thinking about it at all. And it is gross hypocrisy. If any of these people meant it, if any of these people, they speak so passionately about the danger that we're all in, they would be living the life themselves as an example. That's how you lead." "It's like Saint Francis of Assisi, you know, was born into wealth. He was he was a rich man's son and he lived the life of a rich man's son until until he got religion, until he got Christianity, and then he gave away everything. And he lived a life of poverty, and he insisted that all of his followers live a life of poverty thereafter. Now that's how you do it. That's that's the way that you get that message across." "You live the life first. And if if by living that life you inspire other people, then they live likewise. But the fact that these people want to preach this nonsense from the bridge of the private jets, or from their goodness only knows what nuclear powered submarines that they want to cut about the world in is just rank hypocrisy." "I've reached a point in my life where I have faith in next to no one. I look out to everyone who's to whom I have to listen on the, coming out of the official mouthpieces. And I find almost all of them completely intolerable."

Zack Polanski, "The problem is chaining yourself to an economic system that is so fundamentally broken" "You don't get marks or points for just being good, a gold star for doing the basics, or even just under the necessary" "We are at this urgent moment in our history where the only thing that is acceptable is what is required" "What is required is to reduce our emissions, to invest in climate adaptation, to protect nature in one of the most nature depleted countries in the world" "And to make sure we're reinvigorating communities with the truth and putting them in charge" "What is the biggest tool we have?" "It is our shared humanity" "Tackling the cost of living crisis is the same solution as tackling the climate crisis" "It's so vital at this budget that we're cutting bills and taxing billionaires" "There's an implication that all of this is transactional, and the only thing people care about is the money in their pockets" "If you're struggling, that probably is the only thing you care about" "But for so many people, they care about the future of this planet. About clean air. Green spaces" "That when people go to work they have a shared sense of purpose, that it is meaningful and that they are contributing something to society" "We are in a crisis.

Let’s just get this straight. Anti-Zionism is antisemitism. Antisemitism is not just racism or hatred. It’s a shape-shifting conspiracy theory. And every few generations it changes into something different. Now people are literally saying, oh, we’ll just get rid of Israel and everything will be fine. It shifts into something different, in which takes everything bad that was said about the Jews, everything that you attributed to the Jews as the worst thing in history, instead of on the Jews, onto Israel. And they attribute the same bloodthirstiness, the same untrustworthiness, the same desire to control and power. Literally take the word Jew and swap it with IDF. They’re standing on the footsteps of colleges in America and they are rehashing. They think they have this new, they found this new cause and unbeknown to them, first of all, they’re rehashing antisemitic tropes from like the 1500s, right? And that obsession that they aren’t even aware of is what allowed for October 7th and October 8th to happen. And that is something that we need to be very careful about, because they’re after taking Israel down. And that would be if they will succeed, and they won’t. But they’re after that. And that is the possible new Holocaust. That would be the calamity of the Jewish people of our generation. And it’s masked as this like, I’m not antisemitic, I’m just an anti-Zionist. No. Antisemitism in a new face. We have to be very careful of it.

This is again a project of an unfathomable scale that's just been completed in China and barely anyone has heard of it in the rest of the world China has just finished constructing a continuous 3,046-kilometer (1,892-mile) green barrier - made of plants and trees - completely encircling the Taklamakan Desert, the world's second-largest shifting sand desert which is about the size of Germany (!). To put this in perspective, this is like building a living wall from Paris to Istanbul, or from Los Angeles to Chicago – except they built it in one of the world's most inhospitable environments. They spent about 40 years building this "green wall". The final 285 kilometers was completed in 2024 on November 28. They built the "wall" with desert-hardy plants like Populus euphratica (desert poplar), Haloxylon (saxaul), and Tamarix (salt cedar), along with innovative sand-control engineering and solar panel installations. The objective of the project is to contain the desert's expansion and to protect surrounding agricultural areas and cities from sandstorms. Before this project, many towns in the region had to be relocated multiple times due to encroaching sand. For instance, the town of Qira in Xinjiang had to move three times in its history, with sand dunes once approaching as close as 1.5 kilometers from the town center. This is easily one of human history's most ambitious and grandest ecological engineering projects. It's insane when you think about it: completely containing a desert the size of Germany! And it's also insane how little attention this has received globally: sadly we've apparently lost the capacity to be impressed by such a project, let alone have the boldness of vision to conceive of one ourselves. All resulting in the fact that whilst China is out there completing 40-year missions to tame entire deserts, we can barely fix potholes in our roads.

Elon Musk: It’s remarkable how much people stick with their ideological tribe, no matter the evidence. “It is remarkable how much people believe things simply because it is the belief of their in-group, you know, whatever their sort of political or ideological tribe is. There's some pretty hilarious videos of some guy going around as a racist Nazi or whatever, and he was trying to show them the videos of the thing that they are talking about where he is in fact condemning the Nazis in the strongest possible terms and condemning racism in the strongest possible terms. And they literally don't even want to watch the videos. People, or at least some people, will stick to whatever their ideological views are, whatever that sort of political tribal views are, no matter what.

In America the media gaslights everyone as a conspiracy theorists for talking about weather modification In Thailand they have physical examples to educate people on each step that’s taken to create storms with cloud seeding, they use it regularly to create rain for dry areas “This is them actually showing you and explaining how cloud seeding is done. We’ve just spoken to one of the guys here, and he's totally explained that this is exactly what's been going on over the years now is that, obviously, the planes produce the clouds, and then it builds up like that, which then once it builds up like that, then the amount of moisture in there, it then produces the rain, the thunder, the lightning, which then produces the rain and the water, the moisture to the ground. In Thailand, they use this quite a bit for areas that are very very dry and don't have much much rain. But, yep, there you go guys. This is exactly how cloud seeding is done.”

$Since taking office, President Donald Trump has pulled the US out of the United Nations Paris agreement on climate change, unleashed fossil fuel production, cut climate subsidies that were part of the Inflation Reduction Act, and chosen as his Secretary of Energy an oilman who helped create the fracking revolution. Given that Democrats have spent the last 20 years describing climate change as an “existential threat” and making climate policy their highest priority under Biden, one would expect there to be significant protests and other actions by progressives. And yet we’ve seen no significant climate change protests since Trump took office two months ago. No Greta Thunberg marches — she’s moved on to Palestine. No drumbeat from the news media. No Extinction Rebellion activists blocking traffic in DC. “Climate emergency” was not among the words chosen by Democrats in Congress to put on the little placards they held up during Trump’s address to Congress earlier this month. In fact, to the extent there have been protests by Democrats, they have been against the world’s most pioneering electric car manufacturer, Tesla, and have nothing to do with climate change. It’s true that many Democrats still care deeply about climate change and the issue may come back in the future. Where just 23% of Republicans view climate change as a serious threat to the country, 78% of Democrats do. “Executive orders are for show,” says political scientist and climate policy expert, The Honest Broker , on a new podcast for Public, “legislation is for real. And there doesn't seem to be any legislative strategy accompanying anything Trump is doing. As far as pulling out of Paris, we've done this dance before. Trump pulled out to Paris, and then Biden went back in.” And the media and Democrats routinely tie every natural disaster, such as the recent fires in LA, to climate change, even though there’s no good science supporting such connections, in most instances. “Every day there's some extreme weather somewhere,” said Pielke, who is a Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, “and so it is a perfectly made issue for sustaining some degree of attention.” But the partisan polarization over climate change, and the ease with which Trump and Biden can put the US in and out of the Paris agreement, all underscore the overall low level of concern with climate change in comparison to more pressing issues like inflation, migration, and even seemingly fringe issues like transgenderism. “The climate movement is a product of North America and Northern Europe,” said Pielke. “The ‘climate first’ voter is a tiny slice of the political landscape, even though they occupy a lot of attention and time on social media, in universities, and until recently, in the global financial sector. They made a lot of noise, but there weren't a lot of them around to begin with. The climate is just not that important to very many people around the world. People will say it's important. But give them a list of topics and it routinely comes in 17th, 18th, 19th, out of 20.” And now Pielke predicts that climate change could go the way of past environmental scares. “One story for the future of the climate discourse and climate change is that it's not going to go away, but it's going to fade from the center of public view like overpopulation did.” Why did climate change emerge as an issue of concern and then fade? “There's a pretty well-known economist named Anthony Downs who wrote a famous paper called the Issue Attention Cycle,” said Pielke. “It’s like a bell curve. You discover there's a potential problem, there's a lot of excitement, and ‘We’ve got to do something about it!’ Everybody gets on the bandwagon. Then you realize, ‘Oh my gosh, this is difficult! This is challenging!’ And then your attention goes to somewhere else and it's back down. And really climate change is following the Downs’ Issue Attention Cycle perfectly.” Pielke notes that the rate at which economies decarbonize, or reduce the amount of carbon dioxide per unit of GDP, is unchanged. “For the foreseeable future, we will continue to decarbonize the economy no matter what countries say about their climate commitments or whether there's a Viktor Orban or a Donald Trump in office. Decarbonization is much more powerful, it seems, than the politics of the climate. The Paris agreement hasn't really done anything to alter the trajectory of global decarbonization….Climate policy does a lot of things, but reducing carbon dioxide emissions is not one of those things...” Please subscribe now to support Public's award-winning journalism, read the rest of the article, and listen to the full podcast!$

No Extinction Rebellion activists blocking traffic in DC. “Climate emergency” was not among the words chosen by Democrats in Congress to put on the little placards they held up during Trump’s address to Congress earlier this month. In fact, to the extent there have been protests by Democrats, they have been against the world’s most pioneering electric car manufacturer, Tesla, and have nothing to do with climate change. It’s true that many Democrats still care deeply about climate change and the issue may come back in the future. Where just 23% of Republicans view climate change as a serious threat to the country, 78% of Democrats do. “Executive orders are for show,” says political scientist and climate policy expert, The Honest Broker , on a new podcast for Public, “legislation is for real. And there doesn't seem to be any legislative strategy accompanying anything Trump is doing. As far as pulling out of Paris, we've done this dance before. Trump pulled out to Paris, and then Biden went back in.” And the media and Democrats routinely tie every natural disaster, such as the recent fires in LA, to climate change, even though there’s no good science supporting such connections, in most instances. “Every day there's some extreme weather somewhere,” said Pielke, who is a Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, “and so it is a perfectly made issue for sustaining some degree of attention.” But the partisan polarization over climate change, and the ease with which Trump and Biden can put the US in and out of the Paris agreement, all underscore the overall low level of concern with climate change in comparison to more pressing issues like inflation, migration, and even seemingly fringe issues like transgenderism. “The climate movement is a product of North America and Northern Europe,” said Pielke. “The ‘climate first’ voter is a tiny slice of the political landscape, even though they occupy a lot of attention and time on social media, in universities, and until recently, in the global financial sector. They made a lot of noise, but there weren't a lot of them around to begin with. The climate is just not that important to very many people around the world. People will say it's important. But give them a list of topics and it routinely comes in 17th, 18th, 19th, out of 20.” And now Pielke predicts that climate change could go the way of past environmental scares. “One story for the future of the climate discourse and climate change is that it's not going to go away, but it's going to fade from the center of public view like overpopulation did.” Why did climate change emerge as an issue of concern and then fade? “There's a pretty well-known economist named Anthony Downs who wrote a famous paper called the Issue Attention Cycle,” said Pielke. “It’s like a bell curve. You discover there's a potential problem, there's a lot of excitement, and ‘We’ve got to do something about it!’ Everybody gets on the bandwagon. Then you realize, ‘Oh my gosh, this is difficult! This is challenging!’ And then your attention goes to somewhere else and it's back down. And really climate change is following the Downs’ Issue Attention Cycle perfectly.” Pielke notes that the rate at which economies decarbonize, or reduce the amount of carbon dioxide per unit of GDP, is unchanged. “For the foreseeable future, we will continue to decarbonize the economy no matter what countries say about their climate commitments or whether there's a Viktor Orban or a Donald Trump in office. Decarbonization is much more powerful, it seems, than the politics of the climate. The Paris agreement hasn't really done anything to alter the trajectory of global decarbonization….Climate policy does a lot of things, but reducing carbon dioxide emissions is not one of those things...” Please subscribe now to support Public's award-winning journalism, read the rest of the article, and listen to the full podcast!

I just researched this and it’s true You know how Gavin Newsom is shutting the water off for farmers right now, that water isn’t going to some environmental agriculture project. IT’S BEING DUMPED BACK INTO THE OCEAN You do not hate California Democrats enough “I watched an elderly couple, husband and wife, ranchers in California, praying to God for help. And do you want to know why? It’s because the state cut off their water. No water means no cattle. No cattle means no business. And for these people and thousands of people just like them, it means the end of generations of work, of tradition, of survival. They want you to believe this is all about climate change and saving the environment. Give me a break. This isn’t about the salmon they’re claiming will benefit from diverting that water. That water they’re diverting doesn’t go to some life-saving environmental cause. It gets dumped into the ocean instead of keeping it on the land to feed families, to water livestock, and to grow food for America. This isn’t an accident. This is a strategy. They’re funneling the masses into a box, tightening the corral. That’s what’s happening. Cutting off the food supply, making ranchers, farmers, and you dependent on the state. Because independent producers—people who can feed themselves and their communities—are hard to control. Look at what they did to the Amish. They destroy them piece by piece, law by law, policy by policy. If you think this is a game, you’re right, it’s a game, and they’re in control. It’s time for people to stand up. While these generational ranches collapse, the media continues to sell you the lie that this is all for the greater good, for the benefit of the planet. It’s not. It’s tyranny, and it’s happening in real time with half the country applauding it like trained seals” In Potter Valley, farmers face a real threat of reduced water access due to the planned decommissioning of the Potter Valley Project, which could eliminate Lake Pillsbury and limit diversions to the Russian River, critical for irrigation. The claim that water is being “dumped into the ocean” reflects the reality that undiverted Eel River water flows to the Pacific, often with questionable environmental benefits for salmon

🚨 JUST IN: JD Vance just NUKED the left for attacking marriage and having children "The far left in this country tells our young people that marriage and children are obstacles, that it's irresponsible, even immoral because of climate change or some other reason, to encourage our young people to raise a family. They tell us that life itself is a burden!" "But we know that it's a lie. We know that life is a gift. We know that babies are precious because we know them and we love them and we see the way that they can transform our families." "We know that family is not just the source of a great joy, but it's part of God's design for men and women, a design that extends outward from the family to our neighborhoods, to our communities, and to the United States of America itself."
