Comments on: Four Numbers That Should Serve as Wakeup Calls for All of Us https://techsomogro.com/numbers-wakeup-calls/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=numbers-wakeup-calls Science, Technology and the Future Tue, 14 Feb 2023 10:51:10 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.3 By: David https://techsomogro.com/numbers-wakeup-calls/#comment-27765 Tue, 14 Feb 2023 10:51:10 +0000 https://techsomogro.com/?p=33404#comment-27765 These COP meetings are a joke. They insist that we need to clean up but then, hypocritically they push for more coal mines to open, drill more oil and gas fields, then they blow up the Nordstream pipeline releasing a huge volume of gas into the atmosphere. Shell has on many occasions just “burnt off” full industrial gas storage tanks rather than sell it at a cheaper rate to the public. They all see fast money in waste, a very bad incentive.
Remember CFC’s in the late 1980’s putting a hole in our ozone ? Their solution was to use HCFC’s instead, much worse than the original CFC ! and HCFC’s are still used to this day in refrigerator and air conditioning units etc. It is all about money and who does, or does not, get to make it. Like gangsters at the meeting table dividing the pie among themselves, to the cost of everybody else.
I remember the same nonsense regarding free plastic grocery bags at the store. They said they would now charge customers for bags to “reduce plastic waste”. What they actually did was increase the use of other plastic bags 3 fold to package food. Now we have fish sold in a plastic bag, wrapped in several plastic sheets inside that sealed bag!? It is even a cook in the toxic plastic bag that is covered with ink too..yuk! Progress?
In the 1970’s, fish was sold in a plain paper wrapper only. Milk was sold in recyclable glass bottles, also makes the milk taste better than plastic jugs. Plastic has been a known carcinogen since the mid 1950’s, now it is very hard to find plastic free packaged food. Plastic can also now be found all over the planets environment and it’s not going away. Cancer, like oil or plastics, is big money for the unethical criminals that control the world.
It is always the same, they make out they care but they only care about profit$.
Corporations don’t care about environment or people etc, nor do their corrupt politician puppet cronies unless they can fine and tax the public for it along the way.
Waterways and the water table need cleaned up (by natural methods not by more chemicals) rather than used as a trash pit. Trees need to be planted to balance the carbon sink. For too many centuries have people been deforesting the planet. Messing with the ecosystem is not a smart move yet all humans do is take and trash, take and trash. It will run out one day and then we are all joining the dinosaurs.
I agree, the world is not “overpopulated”, not even close, but it does have a fatal management crissis that wants to blame it all on the public who it brainwash into buying their corporate brand trash products in the name of selfish corporate wealth and “trendy fashion”.
They don’t even know the real population count, it is just a blind guess. Do they have everybody registered, even in the no contact tribes of the worlds deep jungles etc? In reality we will soon have a population collapse due to a generational gap. 3rd world nations need to have many children, as did recent modern industrial western nations pre 20th century, because of the mortality rate in poor conditions. When you are in that situation most of your children will not survive to adulthood.
Why is there a food shortage… Monsanto is the main reason, they want to own and control the worlds crops by copyright. Africa saw many famines because it was either bad gmo seed or, because they did not buy Monsanto chemicals to grow or protect the crops.
Another issue is corporate waste again, corporations would rather trash surplus food than to give it to the hungry. They don’t care is people suffer, it inflates their “elitist” ego’s.
