If not, why not? The world’s eco-anxiety over “climate change” has turned into a totally irrational eco-panic.
Entire government agencies are being weaponized to eliminate farming and transportation. Because “climate change.” And if anyone contradicts the climate change religion, he is ridiculed, demonized, silenced and then canceled.
The following news is not new. It has been known since 2016. Summarizes Matt Ridley, “Green vegetation is changing faster than global average temperatures.” And the change is upward, not the other way around. The world is much greener.
The evidence comes from the growth rate of plants and from satellite data: a 14% increase in green vegetation over 30 years, thanks to...guess what? An increase of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide.
Lead author on the study, Zaichun Zhu of Beijing University, says this is equivalent to adding a new continent of green vegetation twice the size of the mainland United States.
It is past time to turn off the eco-panic. Desertification of our planet has now largely reversed. This is because plants lose less water in the process of absorbing carbon dioxide if the concentration of carbon dioxide is higher.
This “global greening” has affected all ecosystems for the better — from arctic tundra to coral reefs to plankton to tropical rain forests and, of course, farms. It is our fear-gripped, self-righteous politicians who are harming our planet and designing for us a bleak future on a barren landscape.

"I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested."

“Fact check; not locking down at all (like Sweden) would have saved lives in UK. Hard to believe how much money the UK spent on its sham covid inquiry.”
--Jay Bhattacharya
The UK Covid-19 Inquiry cost millions. It finally released the core political chapters of its long-awaited report. After nearly three years of hearings, millions of documents, and tens of millions of pounds spent on legal fees, the conclusion is now unmistakably clear.
They’ve learned nothing, even while watching millions suffer from lockdowns and vaccination.
Worse, they may not want to learn. The Inquiry’s structure, its analytical frame, even its carefully curated narrative all point in the same direction: away from the possibility that Britain’s pandemic response was fundamentally misguided.
Bill Madden writes, "Refusing illegal orders in the military is difficult to do because they normally are generated high in the chain of command and very few officers in the chain really know what is or is not a legal order. Immediate superiors can be very demanding and the orders are usually given in high pressure environments. Refusing an illegal military order is tantamount to whistleblowing and, as much good as it does for the concept of truth, the whistleblower’s life is made miserable as a punishment for his honesty and a warning to others."
I watched this happen with Army Spec Michael New during the Clinton years. He disobeyed an illegal Clinton order, was arrested on base in Germany, was then given an unjust, unconstitutional trial, and then a Bad Conduct Discharge. But he stood his ground the whole time and has been proven right since.
