When I was at Indiana University years ago, near the height of his fame, he used to wander around heavily travelled places on the Bloomington campus, wanting to be recognized.

It was so obvious & desperate that my friends and I would pretend he didn’t exist when we walked by him on a few occasions.

Me neither. Here’s the UN report on NO2 that this all about.
The WEF wants to literally starve us to death.

Obviously, nobody wastes money on overfertilizing the fields.
So, current levels of fertilizer use is optimal or even suboptimal.
Forcing cuts in fertilizer use is going to cost a lot!

It is true he hangs around Bloomington a lot more than Seymour. Bloomington is a lefty town and he is more at home there.

Never liked that guy much.

The real problems are the ones caused by trying to solve the imaginary ones.

I guess he either hasn’t seen or, more likely, is willfully ignoring what has happened in Sri Lanka (aka Ceylon) after it adopted all of the “green” crop growing measures for its farms and has reduced its population to starvation, when prior to that ‘introduction’ it had been exporting some crops.

It is worse than that. It is the intended destruction of western civilation. For example, with modern nutrient technolgies we produce 6 x more corn per acre than we did in 1940. These evil policies will cause worldwide starvation and billions of deaths. You think the WEF acolytes don’t know this?

Much of the new wheat and other staples now produce 30% more.

Can’t this be stopped in parliament?
Is T trying to cause starvation?

One can have loads of tilth built up and have a dry spell, then rain, and plenty of runoff. Once the soil is dry it becomes impermeable. So runoff happens.

Depends on the soil but no soil is impermeable unless it's bare and dried out but clay based soils will definitely get like that. I have some crude pottery pieces here that my kids smushed together by hand 10 years ago. Other soils might not get like that but will blow away with a lot of wind, hence the dust bowl of the 30s.

Keep the soil covered either with mulch or living plants and it rarely ever dries out that much. We've been having a heat wave year here in MO with temps from mid 90s to over 100 and no rain. My buddy up the road has been spot watering his garden plants every day. I put a heavy mulch on my garden and water lightly twice a week. When our clayey soil has at least some moisture, it will take in moisture/rain better than when it's totally dry and turns into cured pottery.

Gabe Brown is a farmer in ND. He took pics after a rain of where his property meets the traditionally farmed neighbor's property. Neighbor has the standard bare soil with crop plants sticking up and Brown plants his corn into a rolled and crimped cover crop of rye. Neighbor's place had little gullies washed out with water still moving across the surface.

Many farmers in the hundreds of acres size are doing the same thing. Keep the soil covered at all times. It's not feasible to mulch hundreds of acres so they do it with cover crop mixes, often a several things. Most still use a little fertilizer but some use none and the cover crop seed is cheaper than fertilizer. It also cures that nitrogen runoff because they're hardly using any. They see what's coming and are adapting. Can't shut them down for chemical nitrogen fertilizer use if they're not using it.

They also don't use much in the way of pesticides. The soil is so healthy that the plants have a high sugar content as read by a refractometer and using the brix scale. Most pests can't tolerate the high sugar levels.

Soil biologists are still figuring out all the microbiology in a healthy soil and how they work together along with mycelium. There are millions of microscopic life forms in a Tbsp of living soil. They don't live in heavily tilled soil, especially when left bare to dry into a concrete like substance. Places like Nebraska had 12 foot of healthy top soil when we got here and grasses growing taller than the heads of men on horses that discovered them.

Castro’s bastard kid’s latest climate scam policy would be laughable if not so deadly serious (as in, threatening famine). Earth’s atmosphere is 78% nitrogen. I think we’d know it by now if “nitrogen emissions” were some kind of threat! Especially since Fritz Haber discovered how to extract nitrogen from the atmosphere to start with (for making explosives). Haber did this over 100 years ago!

And if you do don’t like it. Oh well. Castraue will seize your farms, property, and bank accounts. But he has dreamy hair.

The problem with more chickens to get more fertilizer is the lack of grain for them to turn into fertilizer.

By this time next year 100 trillion dollars will buy you a cup of joe. At McDonalds.

I try to look at it, with an optimistic eye. You might be able to get two cups of Joe. 🤗😀

Canadian provinces have the right to withdraw from the confederation. Mybe it’s time to start discussions on the matter in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. BC is already a lost cause, so it’s not likely to be a popular move there. It might even give Quebec the impetus to do the same once more.

Only a radical could be so reckless endangering the lives of a hundred million people or more.

These people are unbelievable.

No we won’t. Same policies here unless we ignore them.
