Climate-friendly food choices protect the planet, promote health, reduce health costs

Increased uptake of plant-based diets in New Zealand could substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions while greatly improving population health and saving the healthcare system billions of dollars in the coming decades, according to a new University of Otago study.

We asked locals in the Belgian city to tell us how things have changed since the shake-up

The city has become a pedestrians and cyclists’ joy, especially for people like me who live in the city centre and have no car. As I type, they are busy turning our street into a low-traffic, communal woonerf or ‘living street’. It has become easier and safer to navigate the town on foot or by bike. Having recently returned from the Middle East the changes are even more striking, especially when it comes to my son. We were not ready for him to cycle before but teaching him to cycle on the roads here has been a fun and relatively stress-free experience. The changes have made an enormous difference to people’s quality of life. Khaled Diab, journalist and writer

Future Australians may become 'climate refugees'

Renowned climatologist Michael Mann says large chunks of Australia may become so hot and dry that they are uninhabitable as climate change continues to raise global temperatures.

Air filters create huge educational gains - Vox

An emergency situation that turned out to be mostly a false alarm led a lot of schools in Los Angeles to install air filters, and something strange happened: Test scores went up. By a lot. And the gains were sustained in the subsequent year rather than fading away.

Installing air filters in classrooms has surprisingly large educational benefits

$1,000 can raise a class’s test scores by as much as cutting class size by a third.

Food from Scraps

Last Fall and Winter we did an experiment for fun to re-grow different food plants from the cut off pieces that we would normally just compost. Here are some of the results.

Venice: Council chamber flooded just after the majority party rejected all the amendments to deal with climate change


On 12 November 2019, in the Veneto Regional Council, was discussed the stability law relating to the Regional Budget 2020, when at around 10 pm the water started, for the first time in the history, to flood the council chamber with the consequent escape of all the councilors, councilors, officials, employees and many others.

Ironically, the council hall was flooded two minutes after the majority parties (Lega, Fratelli d'Italia and Forza Italia) rejected all the amendments to deal with climate change.

Here's what happens to ignore climate change!

In March of 2007, the website WorldNetDaily published an article entitled “ #Environmentalism is new #communism”. In it, the former #Czech president, Vaclav #Klaus, stated: “It becomes evident that, while discussing climate, we are not witnessing a clash of views about the #environment, but a clash of views about human #freedom.” He goes on to describe environmentalism as “the biggest #threat to #freedom, democracy, the market #economy and #prosperity.” Klaus has also written a book: “Blue planet in green shackles”, in which he states “communism and environmentalism have the same roots; they both #suppress freedom.” He also warns that any brand of environmentalism calling for #centralized #planning of the #economy under the slogan of ‘ #protecting #nature’ is nothing less than a #reincarnation of communism – new communism.

The following #admission from the co-chair of the #UN #IPCC Working Group III, during an interview in #2010 with the Swiss newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung:
“We must free ourselves from the #illusion that international #climate policy is #environmental policy … We must state clearly that we use climate policy de facto to #redistribute the world’s #wealth.”

Hundreds Gather At #India Gate To Protest Against #Delhi #AirPollution

"Every year, Delhi become a gas chamber in November and we stop talking about it by December. We don't want the government to inform us that Delhi is very polluted, we want a #solution. It is a collective failure as it is the responsibility of the state and central government to resolve the issue."

Ah yes the Ivan Zalax troll
It is you are the troll. I am not.

I ready to answer for any of my words. I do not hide my real identity. Why you are called me troll?

Because you are the collaborator of this guys regarding vaccination?



Or because you try to promote Western neocolonialism regarding Kyoto Protocol promotion?

Earlier, the West used this colonial manipulation immediately after the collapse of the USSR:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyoto_Protocol
The consequences of this treaty: Western Europe has outsourced its harmful and environmentally unfriendly production to the East.
http://www.bloha.info/view/articles/1011642/
After the report on the state and environmental protection of the Russian Federation, Yasnaya Polyana was included in the list of settlements most affected by air pollution with various harmful substances.
Shchekinoazot, which is known to produce urea-formaldehyde concentrate, was concerned about pollution data that appeared in the media.
According to some reports, the degree of air pollution with formaldehyde in Yasnaya Polyana has exceeded 20 times the limit of its maximum permissible concentration.
Yasnaya Polyana is the place where i was born. This example from my personal experience.
The USA advertised this Kyoto protocol most of all and was its initiator, but as a result the USA declined ratification of it, because the US scientists demonstrated to public that there are no scientific justifications for this:
http://www.petitionproject.org/


The next year, this treaty expires, the term of the Western artificial limitation of the industrial development of developing countries under the guise of "caring for nature" ends (i hope my example about farmaldehyde in Yasnaya Polyana clearly showed how the West takes care of its ecology). It seems that the next stage of this neocolonial undertaking is being prepared.

According to independent researchers, the Rockefeller family took a major part in lobbying the Kyoto Protocol:
https://www.globalresearch.ca/rockefeller-familys-covert-climate-change-plan/5678775
What is important, however, is to acknowledge the role of the Rockefeller family –which historically was the architect of “Big Oil”– in supporting the Climate Change debate as well as the funding of scientists, environmentalists and NGOs involved in grassroots activism against “Big Oil” and the fossil fuel industry.
Apparently, many Western youth environmental initiatives, widely covered by the media, are also not without the support of the Rockefeller charitable organizations, since their activities began to be covered just before the deadline for the Kyoto Protocol. The materials of independent researchers confirm this:
http://www.wrongkindofgreen.org/2019/01/17/the-manufacturing-of-greta-thunberg-for-consent-the-political-economy-of-the-non-profit-industrial-complex/
https://reason.com/2015/10/30/why-third-world-countries-wont-agree-to
http://www.wrongkindofgreen.org/2019/05/06/extinction-rebellion-training-or-how-to-control-radical-resistance-from-the-obstructive-left/

The US Congress deprived the Rockefeller family of profits from oil production. Therefore, they acquired deposits of rare earth elements in the Western colonies. Rare earth elements are necessary for the functioning of renewable energy sources, for which this environmental campaign was started. Most of the resources needed for renewable energy are concentrated in Africa. Often, child slave labor is used in mines, so that progressive Western consumers can refuse coal and oil in favor of "clean" energy.

Last year, 70 percent of the world’s cobalt came from the DRC, a country that has been a target of widespread criticism for its labor practices, such as using children as young as six to work in cobalt mines.
