It’s true our environment is in crisis and what’s being discharged into our atmosphere is a significant problem. Blaming Climate Change, which is a natural and dynamic process is only obscuring the real issues we need to deal with. The reality is C02 is not the problem, it is now at an historic low, commercial growers often pump extra C02 into their greenhouses to improve plant growth.

The crisis we are experiencing now has been flagged up for over a century. Although not the first to raise the alarm, Victor Schauberger warned us in 1933 that our planet is in serious trouble. Correcting our misuse of the environment is imperative, he warned, and gave detailed reasons for the degradation of our environment and what needed to be done to avert a crisis.

Now that crisis is looming, global leaders, the media and their sponsors are diverting our attention away from the corporate villains responsible. Misleading us into believing that CO2 is responsible, despite CO2, like the sun, being essential for all life on this planet. 

Blaming our plight on CO2 levels in the atmosphere is over demonstratively false, misguided and dangerous.

There are some of the major contributing factors to the degradation of our environment:

• Deforestation, to create large open fields, removes vital shade from the soil.

• Large open fields devoid of shade raises the temperature of the soil, causing the water-table to drop.

• Top spraying crops with water to compensate washes away vital nutrients, making it necessary to apply fertiliser. Fertilisers are made by the aggro-chemical industry, whose short-term interests it serves.

• Deep ploughing disturbs the microbiome of the soil, causing it to lose its structure. The US dust-bowl is a prime example of what ultimately happens when large tracts of land are stripped of their natural form, to enable commercial exploitation.

• The indiscriminate spraying of crops with pesticides kills pollinators and contaminates the food we eat. “Pests” primarily attack plants that are stressed or sick. Is it any wonder they are sick and stressed?

Commercial farming makes fortunes for a variety of large corporations and their shareholders. Indications are, their senseless greed is a prime factor in destroying the foundations of the terrain we collectively rely upon for our existence. Can we really be expected to believe that modern farming methods have only a minor effect on our environment, or that pollutants other than CO2 in our atmosphere are equally benign?

Avoiding the real issues will leave us in a bigger mess than we are already!

People who do not do their due diligence deserve no great pity. I BEGGED people to do their due diligence concerning injections, but how many actually followed through?
