Many environmental extremists are hysterical about global
warming to the point of calling insane those opposed to their dogma. They blame
industrialization’s greenhouse gases for an allegedly warmer earth.
Their reasoning appears to be some sort of collective
secular guilt for which they propose mass suffering by destroying our present
way of life. But in reality the very environmental extremism policies they have
implemented are a significantly larger contributor to greenhouse gases than
industrialization.
Desertification, the process by which grasslands become
deserts, reduces potential food supply and increases greenhouse gases more than
industrialization. Grasslands, in the US, were normally full of buffalos
and other herd animals. When they traveled through, even if there was little
too eat, they fertilized as they walked and more importantly they trammeled the
ground. Without the soil breaking under their hoofs the soil cannot retain
moisture from the rainy season and bakes hard in the summer.
The next rainy season the water runs off the hardened soil
and a desert begins. Prior to environmental extremism the wild animals were
replaced with sheep and cattle herds grazing our Western “public lands”. The
land was healthy, as Range Magazine has repeatedly shown, but environmental
“science” said that the sheep and cattle were destroying the land.
Biologist Allan Savory was responsible for killing 40,000
African elephants to save the land before he realized that he was actually
creating the deserts he was trying to prevent. Science often makes the presumption
that they know better than what has been natural for countless millennia. To my
mind this is humans thinking they are God. In this very scientific National
Geographic video, Allan Savory makes a public confession. I found it straight
forward and haunting.
