Environment - October 2007

Assuming you had enough land on which to grow them, living where you are now, with the financial resources available to you now for the purpose of buying tools, seeds and so forth.

How long do you think it would take you to get up and producing everything that you need?

Do you think it would be time well spent?

What would be the benefits?

Answer as much or as little as you like. Guesses welcome!

My gf is writing an article on forest preservation.. but we're finding it very difficult to find really strong points on why anyone should care at all.
The article is supposed to shock people into caring.. but it seems nobody really cares, so long as they can still go about their everyday business. What would shock people into caring?

These people are 100 years beind the times, natural cycles were ruled out in 1896. Cycles are repetitive, we know where we are in the natural cycles that cause global warming and cooling and we're nowhere near anything that could cause temps to rise at the rate they are doing.

To claim global warming is a natural cycle overlooks the role of increasing levels of greenhouse gases, how are the effects of this explained away by natural cycles?

Fair enough, many people don't understand global warming and don't profess to, that's fine. But there are also many people who pass comment on global warming and dismiss it as being a natural cycle - why?

I think this is occuring on a logarithmic scale rather than linear. The glaciers and Greenland/antartic ice are melting faster with time rather than melting in a uniform linear fashion.

Why does it seem as though none cares about Global warming? What most people do is clump it with politics and ignore it.

I'm in the odd position of knowing a fair bit about permaculture, as we use it in our design and management of the farm, but have very little idea about other design principles and how they stack up against permaculture, so how does it compare?

The UK judge ruled that the Al Gore's movie "Inconvenient Truth" had nine errors. Actually, the judge did not look at the science but the UK government did not attempt to defend nine of the statements. Another study has just been released claiming the movie had 35 errors or exaggerations. If all of these errors were removed, what are the scariest predictions left?
