The Big Lie That Climate Propagandists Don’t Want You To Talk About

0 implied HN points • 26 May 23
🌞 Climate & Environment Climate Environment Propaganda Sustainability Emissions
  1. The big lie climate propagandists push is the carbon accounting framework, which targets specific emissions sources and ignores larger contributors like deforestation.
  2. Forest clear-cutting emits significant carbon dioxide plumes that are often overlooked in carbon accounting, impacting the rise in atmospheric carbon.
  3. Challenging the carbon accounting framework challenges the very foundation of climate propaganda, revealing the flaws in current climate narratives and highlighting the need for accountability.

Man-Made Desertification

0 implied HN points • 08 Mar 23
🌞 Climate & Environment Soil Sustainability
  1. Better land stewardship can help soak up atmospheric carbon dioxide quickly.
  2. Soil with less carbon holds less water, leading to more topsoil loss and water evaporation.
  3. Desertification fueled by man-made activities like plantations and overgrazing can be reversed by techniques like harvesting water and limiting soil evaporation.

Soil Emissions

🌞 Climate & Environment Soil Emissions Farming
  1. Carbon emissions from soil are significant and often overlooked compared to other sources like oil.
  2. Forestry emissions research indicates that cleared forests release significant carbon emissions into the atmosphere.
  3. The focus should not just be on how much carbon soil can sequester, but also on preventing the loss of soil carbon.

Canopy Loss

🌞 Climate & Environment Soil Atmosphere
  1. Topsoil loss contributes significant carbon emissions.
  2. Promoting gardening and regenerative farming can help mitigate climate change.
  3. Leaving plants around when clearing fields can help offset soil emissions.

Legal Jiu-Jitsu

🌞 Climate & Environment Legal Court Cases Deforestation Environmental Activism
  1. Defanging the climate narrative in court makes sense by exposing the corruption and environmental malfeasance fueling it.
  2. It is important to reach out to different types of lawsuits defending against environmental actions, land seizures, and liberty restrictions.
  3. Cease and desist letters can be sent to enablers, confronting green investment funds about misleading claims, and advocating for soil-friendly farming practices.

Dismantling Oppression

0 implied HN points • 13 Mar 23
📖 Philosophy Power Dynamics
  1. Power and authority come from promises and obligations created by those promises.
  2. Coercion and control arise from access to resources, governing laws, and currencies in contractual promises.
  3. Building a gift-based economy on reciprocal promises can help dismantle oppression and coercion.

Green Imperialism

0 implied HN points • 11 Mar 23
🌞 Climate & Environment Fossil fuels Mining Imperialism
  1. There is little data to support tracking or curbing carbon emissions tied to consumption or industrialized activities.
  2. Blindly phasing out fossil fuels could lead to economic dislocation and food shortages.
  3. Green tech, conservancies, and mining are interconnected and can perpetuate imperialism through different means.

Disputable Science

0 implied HN points • 10 Mar 23
🔬 Science Climate Environment Data Analysis
  1. Natural phenomena like desertification can often be explained by factors such as land stewardship and natural variability rather than solely climate change.
  2. Environmental crises like extinction and overfishing may be more effectively managed by focusing on creating toxin-free habitats and sustainable growing systems.
  3. Human activities like poor water management and forest practices significantly contribute to natural disasters like floods and wildfires.

Industrialized Bio-Sequestration

🔬 Science Climate Soil Biology Chemistry Environment
  1. Topsoil carbon is a major contributor to the rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide.
  2. Fossil fuels directly contribute 12% of atmospheric carbon dioxide, despite a drop in use during economic lockdowns.
  3. Capturing waste output from smokestacks and using it for plant growth can help mitigate carbon emissions.

Accounting Chicanery

0 implied HN points • 06 Mar 23
🌞 Climate & Environment
  1. Carbon accounting mirrors financial statements with emission sources like expenses and carbon stocks like balance sheet entries.
  2. Large landowners and fossil fuel giants benefit from carbon income sources, while carbon stocks often go unnoticed.
  3. There are flaws in carbon stock models that allow for biomass energy producers to claim burning wood pellets is a low carbon energy source.
