Thomas Lifson has two posts at the American Thinker, on two separate days dealing with the Green...er...Socialist agenda. The first post entitled The revolt against green tyranny has toppled its first government as farmer protests spread across Europe. The government Lifson is writing about is Sri Lanaka, where farmers have been forced to eschew chemical ferilizers. As a result, there are food shortages in Sri Lanka, and people are starving. Note, of course, that this always happens. Most will not remember the Soviet's five year plans, but these plans always predicted increased grain, and always failed. Why? Because farm policies were promulgated by ideologues, not farmers. Lifson also highlights farmer protests in Europe, where the Netherlands has proposed similar ideas, forcing half the farmers to lose their businesses. I would also note that the Netherlands is the second largest exporter of food in the world.
The other post is entitled The global warming fraud reviealed in one graph. You need to look at the graph, embedded in the post. The gap between predicted by computer models temperatures and actual temperatures as measured by both satallites and weather balloons grows as the years go on.
Please go read both posts. They are not long, but they both point to the failure of the green agenda. Organic gardening may work on small farms and gardens, though I have my doubts. Every year the deer eat my tomato plants, and cabbage worms invade my brussels sprouts. But at large scale, organic farming doesn't work. We can not feed all 7 billion of using green farming. That doesn't mean that we destroy the earth, but at the same time we must use the technology to feed the world. We don't want to go back to plowing the ground with a stick drawn by water buffaloes.
