Climate change activists are totally insane
some comments from someone who actually lives "in the country"...
The other day, being bored, I flipped to a Congressional committee meeting being held in the transportation and commerce committee. One very smart guy from California was asking questions of the other committee persons and experts on “climate change”.. A very simple question… “What is the normal percentage of CO2 in our atmosphere?” Met with dumb looks… and then a prompt - “come on, I will wait, but just pick a number.. come on.” One guessed 5%, another 4%, another 5%, another was 7%.. And then he said.. “No it is 0.04%” yes, that is zero point zero four percent.- It was 0.03% last decade, so has been a slight increase.” One smart aleck lady said “well we are here to discuss greenhouse gases…” His time ran out but I would have asked her.. okay.. then What is the biggest amount of greenhouse gases…?? She would not have known but far far far greater than CO2 is WATER VAPOR.. you can also spell that CLOUDS.. Indeed. what totally ignorant people we have making laws affecting us. Really - total morons.
But regarding agriculture.. and liars such as John Kerry waiting on the steps of his private jet.. “Agriculture is the biggest producer of CO2.. so we have to destroy agriculture to save agriculture to feed people.” Really - and then he jets away into the heavens burning JetA (yes that is basically diesel fuel.)

Ag excerpt:
“ Agriculture
“Santiago, Chile – Today, the Global Methane Hub announced that agriculture and environment ministers and ambassadors from 13 countries, including the United States, have issued a commitment to reduce methane emissions in agriculture. Last month, the Global Methane Hub collaborated with the Ministries of Agriculture of Chile and Spain to convene the first-ever global ministerial on agricultural practices to reduce methane emissions.”[6]
We all are aware that CO2 is the GE’s boogeyman to ban oil and gas usage worldwide, but now we are hearing that methane (produced by fracking, cows and other ruminants, termites, and others), is almost equally as evil. But, as William Happer, PhD tells us: “…even if regulations on U.S. methane emissions could completely stop the increase of atmospheric methane (they can’t), they would likely only lower the average global temperature in the year 2222 by about 0.2°C. This is a completely trivial amount given that humans have adapted to a much larger change over the past century while reducing climate deaths by over 98%. And U.S. regulations will have little influence on global emissions, where producers are unlikely to be as easily cowed.”[7]
Methane “…degrades in the atmosphere relatively quickly—it has a half-life of about 10 years—whereas CO2 is cumulative; that is to say a single emission of CO2 will remain in the atmosphere for many hundreds of years, and a series of them will accumulate….”[8] Thus they are talking apples and orangutans here.
Yet, some of the world’s largest producers of meat signed on to this commitment – US, Brazil, Argentina, and Australia. Why? The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA), the organization many in the beef industry trusted to represent them, climbed into bed with the World Wildlife Fund, a UN non-government organization (NGO), a leader of UN Environmental Program (UNEP). NCBA says they just want a seat at the table, but we all know what happens when you sit down with the devil. Even Friends of the Earth, a radical environmental group, and 50 other environmental organizations said in a letter “on June 27,2018, ‘This USRSB includes over 100 members from the retail, civil society, producer, processor and allied industry sector who are falsely portraying themselves as promoting a ‘US beef value chain’ that is ‘environmentally sound, socially responsible and economically viable.’ Key USRSB leaders include JBS (the world’s largest beef processor) McDonald’s, Arby’s Merck and Elanco; the very same companies that for years have opposed or undermined numerous policies that would bring us closer to sustainability in the bee sector. Nature Conservancy is also part of the Executive team and WWF is a founding member.
“The groups are especially concerned that member retailers and restaurants like Walmart, Costco, McDonald’, Darden, Arby’s Culver’s and Wendy’s will use the framework’s meager and misguided metrics as a basis for ‘sustainable’ beef claims – as McDonald’ did last year — thereby undercutting truly sustainable, organic and/or regenerative beef producers.”[9]”

Point is - all you youngsters who enjoy a big MAC better get ‘em while you can because soon they will be a Big “Crushed cricket” insect burger.
Or - just channel surf and find “Solyent Green” and watch it.
And yes out here in the ranch country, 95% of all the chicken and turkey raising houses are closed down and empty. More and more fields have no barb wire fences, because they are planted year after year with GMO corn… which is used for ethanol for automobile gas. Owned by big corporation farms not the little guys. Look up who is the biggest arm owner in America.. Bill Gates.
And now, a large area of nice flat farm land north of our little town is going to get a large solar farm. bye bye farming for that land….
As someone whose immediate family has lived in/worked farming/agriculture fields in California for decades - our warnings about the “environmental” greenies and their absolutely destructive ways have gone unheeded. Now we watch as many farms have been sold and food crops harder to grow thanks to regulations and water theft. These green at all cost monsters never bothered to look at the consequences of their “feel good” ideas and now we the people who just want to eat food we want to eat must suffer - once again. Actions have real world consequences, and they are rarely (might be never...) what the liberals pretend.
What has me incensed is seeing all the land around our little Texas ranch here, rip down the barbed wire fence (no more cows!) and the corn fields being converted to acres and acres of solar panels. One big hail storm and that investment will be scrap metal.
