Thanks, JS. I have tremendous cognitive dissonance about the causes of climate change.

Lawrence Freeman & Jeff Brown, To Add & precise your wonderful African-phile conversation.

Do we remember: Muammar Gaddafi's Green Movement & the African Dinar brutally destroyed & gold pilfered by the oligarch controlled west?

There is an ignorant unproductive & self-impoverishing belief & worship of centralized artificial mechanical, chemical, nuclear etc. reductionist technologies, which need a holistic nature-based context in order to not destroy humanity. https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/home/9-undoing-false-science

Many African peoples, particularly middle & southern carry the ancient nature integrated knowledge of biosphere-integrated productivity despite over 5000 years of brutal extractive colonial invasion & associated biosphere destruction. Some Africans may seen reluctant to western mech-tech but only because they are reaching for a deeper integration.

This comment is a short introduction towards humane & biosphere integrated productivity & the creation of a workable balance of human ingenuity in harmony with the physics of nature, which all humanity are part of, We all benefit from the important leadership of African 'indigenous' (Latin 'self-generating') knowledge keepers. We are all originally indigenous peoples who have through oligarch violence, lost the memory of our sacred 10s of 1000s of years old heritages. https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/structure/6-holistic-science

LOCAL & FRACTAL HUMAN 'ECONOMY' (Greek 'oikos' = 'home' + 'namein' = 'care-&-nurture') IS SOVEREIGN, ONLY UPON, A WIDELY DISTRIBUTED FOOD-BASED FOUNDATION

Traditional 'indigenous'' African & worldwide 3-dimensional POLYCULTURE-ORCHARDS sustainably & abundantly produced huge surpluses over many 10s of 1000s of years before oligarch-commanded 'exogenous' (L 'other-generated') invasions & destruction. 3-dimensional canopy Polyculture is 100 times (10,000%) more productive of food, materials, energy & water-cycle than 2-D colonial imposed 'agriculture' (L 'ager' = 'field'). Polyculture is the forgotten (colonially erased) reality for the mythical Eden.

TREES AS THE BIOSPHERE TEC HNOLOGY FOUNDATION OF LIFE ON EARTH (including humans as primate tree stewards)

Polyculture Orchards were once worldwide on every continent going back 10s of 1000s of years of human heritage. ORCHARD FOOD PRODUCTION EFFICIENCIES HAVE MULTIPLE FACTORS

The following are but a couple of 100s of Polyculture productivity factors

1) Polyculture's 92-98% photosynthesis absorption & transformation of solar energy versus 'agriculture' 2-8% of solar energy. Polyculture's 95% transformation of solar energy creates an energy cold vacuum, which draws warm-moist ocean winds inland, where 60% of moisture transfer (ocean to continent) is through condensation upon quadrillions of square kilometres of fractal leaf & bark surfaces. Only 40% of moisture is transferred through precipitation.

2) Polyculture Tree deep rootedness holds soil, water & diverse species. Deep tree roots pump water, mine minerals & create vast nutrient colonies, which provide for almost inexhaustible production & provenance to all species including humans over 10s of 1000s of years. Cutting of the hardwood food trees was ordered by oligarchy to feed insatiable hunger for ships, forts & other weapons of war, with only short term agriculture left which such as in the Sahara/Sahel, turned once lush Polycultures with once vast flowing rivers & lakes, into permanent desert the size of the continental USA.

Great discussion gentlemen. In passing, Tony Heller does great work eviscerating the climate change/fossil fuel hoax ... See his channel via this latest video.
