Green governments are cracking down on chemical fertilizer.
The result? Hunger.

Don't miss a single video from Stossel TV. Sign up here: www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe

In Sri Lanka people rioted when the country slipped into extreme poverty.
Why did it happen?
Here’s one big reason: the government banned chemical fertilizer.
Environmental activists say nitrogen fertilizers shouldn’t be used, and Sri Lanka’s president listened.
As a result, farms produced much less food, and food prices have risen 80%.
Have the “green” activists learned from this? No.
They continue to push for a chemical free world.
“It’s out of control” says environmentalist Michael Shellenberger, “completely unnecessary.”
In the video above, he explains how this green dogma would lead to mass starvation.

Yep! Funny how that works. Famine is coming and it's a very ugly thing. The Green Movement or whatever you want to call it is part of it. But the current Russo- Ukrainian war is pushing the world to a famine. Both are major producers of Wheat and Fertilizer. What happened in Sri Lanka is ugly but it's nothing compared to what is coming.

Honestly the problem is not nitrogen based fertilizers it's the fact that we don't need to be using those fertilizers to begin with if we didn't have government subsidized crops where we have these welfare crops where we are growing a singular crop on a field then we wouldn't have as many of these problems but the problem is it's all about making money instead of actually feeding people it's all about the bottom line instead of caring about the land and everything else you can use biochar and natural organic material all of your poop instead of flushing it down the toilet make fertilizer with it use your pee and make fertilizer ultimately the problem is we have forgotten how to actually grow props if we use biochar it is like a coral reef for the ground you are giving places for life to live inside of the Char which gets bio organically activated and the life can live inside of it literally like a coral reef increasing crop yields by more than 50% this would give you more than enough abundance to not need to use fertilizers or grow mono crops we should not be growing things that we have to plant every year either we should have perennial plants fruit trees growing fruit every single year we should have things that produce annually without needing to be seeded and fertilized. You have no idea what you're talking about on this subject I can guarantee you that. You sound like a corporate sellout piece of s*** who wants to go to war with Ukraine because that's where all of our fertilizers are at that's where all the important parts of the trifecta of fertilizer is act and you're just touting the same bs as everyone else without actually knowing anything about how to produce crops you've never grown a single crop in your entire life! We're talking about manure we have so much s*** we flush it down the toilet every day and we are not putting it back onto our land we have enough s*** from humans to make enough manure to make as many crops as we need and with biochar to activate and for that to live inside of the biochar like a coral reef like I said it will increase your crop yields more than 50% creating artificial abundance you are just pushing the same corporate mindset of making profits for the bottom line by making people have to have these fertilizers and making them think that there's no other way when you're completely wrong and a total fool!!!

They still use demineralised water for the boiler and usually have dams of plashett or 'make up' water to top the system up. Environmental regulations will determin how much temp delta they can cause in the outlet waterway. We usually find large fish congregating at the end of the outlet channels.

I am actually an organic farmer and can tell you these environmentalist are insane if they think the world can go fully organic. If you are an organic farmer your number 1 supplier of nitrogen is composted manure and blood meal. Our number one supplier of phosphorus is bone meal. The only way could scale that globally would be a massive uptick in animal harvesting to get the blood and bone needed but they are trying to do away with meat processing.

Kudos on the farming so no disrespect on that. But since you were the the only commentator (that I'm aware of) that mentioned meat production so far, I wanted to chime in on that - It's true, if we stopped eating meat at every damn meal in Western cultures, we wouldn't be using about 73% of all the soybean and corn production to feed cattle. *Livestock takes up nearly 80% of global agricultural land, yet produces less than 20% of the world's supply of calories!* So anyone bitching about plastic straws, or what type of fertilizer is being used is grossly misguided, imho. The single biggest threat to the environment is meat production. The only thing close in scope is transportation, but that at least is a necessity. Whereas bringing animals into production just to torture and kill for food is a luxury.

Before modern insecticides, fungicides, weed killers, fertilizers, irrigation systems, drought resistant seeds, and many many many other agricultural innovations there was always a great risk of a farmers pulling in next to nothicome harvest time. 2) Farming is very much a skilled trade. It requires generations of knowledge and immense commitment. Farmers know what they're doing, they have to otherwise they won't be successful. Knowing these two things I know enough that I should leave decisions on farming in the hands of the farmers.

This is, because some NGOs became dogmatic to stay relevant over the past 2-3 decades. To save their business models, they went into the institutions, as industry lobbies did. Politicians are the third, most weakest link, since they are depended on the money in this game. Since governments depend more and more on these organizations, instead of the offices in their institutions - policies are made to serve these special interests, so things go out of control and as you can see in some states of the USA, European Union, South East Asia etc., straight into disaster. Societies need to drive NGOs and Lobbies out of the government bodies and take back sovereignty.

She had pamphlets for us to read, and it all looked very scientific and well researched to me...as a kid. Not only was NYC in trouble, but the Midwest, where I lived was going to be a desert wasteland, like Mad Max! I was terrified for the rest of the day, and for a long time after that. The upside was that it did make me into a conservationist, and environmentalist.

The Maldive Islands, the place the UN predicted in 1988 would be underwater in 30 years due to sea level rise caused by global warming. Luckily for the PM, that prediction was as stupidly wrong as pretty much all of the predictions by the climate cultists, so he had a convenient place to run to when he lost his job for inflicting on his country the insane policies urged on him by today's climate cultists. The irony of this would be hilarious if it weren't for the suffering of the Sri Lankan people.

Not sure if this is widespread tech or not, but - if that's the case - the ability to fine tune application to just what's needed can be used to further reduce overapplication and mitigate the concerns of the more rational environmentalists (i.e. the one's that aren't so insane that they think humanity is a virus that deserves extinction.)

I'm an engineer and I work with some of the smartest people I've ever met. There are tons of really intellectual people and I absolutely have no idea how AOC evev got in office. Politics is a popularity contest. Politicians are essentially talentless celebrities. It boggles my mind how someone so vapid and ditsy can get into office and influence our policies. It's infuriating the more I think about it. The thing is is that engineers, economists, scientists, doctors, etc. don't want to be politicians. It seems like the dumbest and most narcissistic among us want to get into politics.

@@snakesghost7817 You're close to the nail. They want power. Powerful positions are coveted by the power hungry, and they in turn make things miserable for their well-intentioned colleagues until there aren't any left. But don't conflate intellectualism with wisdom. These policies are often loudly championed by prolific intellectuals who simply suffer from an absolute disconnect with ordinary life.

I have an organic nursery business. Organic is far more productive but it takes years to implement. Most people also lack the knowledge of how to do it. I see a scary amount of magical thinking with a lot of customers. They think simply placing one comfrey plant on your property will magically improve ALL the soil on your property. Its honestly pretty frustrating trying to educate the general public to grow organically.

So called organic is nothing but a scam to get ignorant and gullible people to pay more for less quality. I'm a fifth generation farmer...

An excerpt from my "Economics of Global Climate Change" class final thesis in 2016: “Civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind.” George Wald, Harvard Biologist “We are in an environmental crisis which threatens the survival of this nation, and of the world as a suitable place of human habitation.” Barry Commoner, Washington University biologist. “Population will inevitably and completely outstrip whatever small increases in food supplies we make. The death rate will increase until at least 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death during the next ten years.” Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University biologist “Demographers agree almost unanimously on the following grim timetable: by 1975 widespread famines will begin in India; these will spread by 1990 to include all of India, Pakistan, China and the Near East, Africa. By the year 2000, or conceivably sooner, South and Central America will exist under famine conditions….By the year 2000, thirty years from now, the entire world, with the exception of Western Europe, North America, and Australia, will be in famine.” Peter Gunter, professor, North Texas State University “We are prospecting for the very last of our resources and using up the nonrenewable things many times faster than we are finding new ones.” Martin Litton, Sierra Club director “By the year 2000, if present trends continue, we will be using up crude oil at such a rate…that there won’t be any more crude oil. You’ll drive up to the pump and say, 'Fill ‘er up, buddy,’ and he’ll say, 'I am very sorry, there isn’t any.'” Kenneth Watt, Ecologist “Dr. S. Dillon Ripley, secretary of the Smithsonian Institute, believes that in 25 years, somewhere between 75 and 80 percent of all the species of living animals will be extinct.” Sen. Gaylord Nelson “The world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years. If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age.” Kenneth Watt, Ecologist The above quotes were recorded during the first Earth Day event in 1970. The doomsday predictions have been perpetuated by professors and politicians, alike, for over forty-six years. These doomsday predictions have occurred throughout mankind’s history, and they continue through to modern day. This is perfectly demonstrable by Wieslaw Maslowski, et. al., research professor US Naval Postgraduate School's Department of Oceanography, proclamation that “… one can project that at this rate it would take only 9 more years or until 2016 ± 3 years to reach a nearly ice-free Arctic Ocean in summer.” As of September 10, 2016, there was 4.14 million square kilometers as the summer low, which is certainly not “nearly ice-free.” These alarmists not only define the problem, but they also provide the solution: government.
