THE GLOBAL CLIMATE CRISIS
"The hypothesis that global burning (warming)
is caused solely
by urban consumers and
urban industries consuming fossil
fuels
is basically propaganda generated by the
landowning
pharming elite (especially
those in the over-industrialized
nations)
to cover up their devastation of the
Earth's Forests.
The Earth's Forests are the most
important part of the Earth's
Photosynthetic capacity, which is the
most crucial part of the
Earth's climate
stabilization system which, in turn, is
the most
essential part of the Earth's
life support system.
Over the last couple of millenia the
pharming industry,
primarily the Animal
exploitation industry, has transformed
nearly a third of the Earth's land
surface, much of it Forested,
into
pastureland. The biggest cause of the
destabilization of the
Earth's climate
is not the fossil fuel industries but
the global
pharming industry."
To
turn it around, there must be radical changes in our way
of
life.
We need to:
"Ban
Cars (in Carbon debtor nations) (Cars are an
extravagant
means
of transport. This category also includes banning air
travel).
Ban kids (in Carbon debtor nations) (People are
going to have to
stop
having more than one child).
Ban Cattle (i.e. the consumption of meat). The vast
consumption
of
meat and dairy products is the main cause of the
destruction of
the
Earth's life support system. Even if capitalism and
money were
abolished, it would not be possible to create a
sustainable planet
without abolishing the Animal exploitation industry. In
other
words,
it is not possible to create a sustainable planet until
all six
billion oomans becomes a vegan. If people aren't
prepared to
become vegans they shouldn't bother about green politics
because
it
would be a complete waste of time. They might as well go
out
and
start shagging the Earth to their hearts content because
recycling, alternative energy, living in harmony with
nature, are
all
insignificant without veganism. To put it bluntly -
unless
measures are taken to counter obesity there is no way of
creating
a
sustainable planet. Verily: fat is a geophysiological
issue.
Ban capitalism, (this category covers the abolition
of the
production of non-renewable commodities and the
abolition of the
world
terrorist organization, the overthrow of the world's
financial
markets, and the expropriation of land from all large
land owners
in
order to create climate Forests, Wilderness areas, and
regional
wood
economies. This would provide land for the landless and
lead
to
the abolition of global poverty);
Ban Carnage (i.e. wars and the military industrial
complex)."

Reforestation with fruit and native
trees and the absolute
preservation of
all existing old growth forests, plus
the
reduction of greenhouse gas emissions is the
key to
climate stabilization.
Reforestation is more important than
reducing greenhouse emissions although both are needed.
A fruit
and herb
diet derived from the planting of fruit
forest
gardens supports the health of humans and the Earth.
"The Lovewisdom Message on
Paradise Building" explains the
importance
of tree planting for food and ecological balance.
The following is an excerpt from the foreword to the
book. It explains why reforestation and dietary changes,
which
is
the message of Paradise Building, are the keys to
resolving
the problems confronting us.
Foreword
Here we present, The Lovewisdom Message on Paradise
Building by Dr. Johnny Lovewisdom, first published in
1975,
which even after 30 years is now more than ever a timely
message. “Build Paradise and eat the fruits thereof” is
the
call to get back to paradise.
Every culture has its memory of paradise, a golden era
of
peace and harmony; “With the Hebrews it was the Garden
of
Eden, with the Celts, the lost island of Avalon; with
the
Greeks, that wonderful garden on an island in the
Western
seas the Hesperides; with the Persians, the Haoma-Tree
Paradise; with the Chinese, the garden of the Peach Tree
Goddess...” (Henry Bailey Stevens).
Mankind has since chosen an artificial lifestyle, a far
cry
from our original paradise way of life. As a consequence,
pressing issues now threaten the survival of life on
Earth:
the terror of war, climate change, hurricanes, tsunamis,
water shortages, famine, deforestation, desertification,
over-population, meaningless jobs, poverty,
environmental
pollution and health epidemics.
The world livestock population (cattle, dairy cows, pigs,
goats, lambs and poultry) now exceeds 21 billion animals,
3
and a half times the world’s human population. The
raising
of
livestock takes up more than two-thirds of all
agricultural land, and one third of the total land area
according to UN figures. Virgin rainforests are being
cleared to accomodate this excessive livestock animal
population.
Forests are the greatest carbon sinks converting CO2
into
carbohydrate sugar, plant fiber and oxygen and thus are
the most important climate control factor. Animal
farming
accounts for 21% of man-made CO2, emits the greenhouse
gas methane and is the main reason the tropical
rainforests
are being cut down, all to feed people’s acquired desire
for meat, poultry, dairy and eggs.
According to British physicist Alan Calverd, global
warming
could be controlled if we all stopped eating meat and
became vegetarians. Dr. Calverd points out that giving
up
pork chops, lamb cutlets and chicken burgers would do
more for the environment than burning less oil and gas.
Cattle ranching is the number one cause of deforestation
in
the Brazilian Amazon. Cattle ranchers cut the rainforest
because of the demand for cheap hamburgers in trans-
national fast food restaurants worldwide.
According to the World Watch Institute magazine
(July/August
2004), “In Central America, 40 percent of all
the rainforests have been cleared or burned down in the
last 40 years, mostly for cattle pasture to feed the
export
market, often for U.S. beef burgers.
The human appetite for animal flesh is a driving force
behind virtually every major category of environmental
damage now threatening the human future- deforestation,
erosion, fresh water scarcity, air and water pollution,
climate change, bio-diversity loss, social injustice,
the
destabilization of communities, and the spread of
disease.”
