    More people need to know that GMOs, mining, and water privatization are used as a scapegoat for modern colonization. They don’t feed the world, they keep entire countries poor, hungry, and dependent.

    Our planet Earth does not “need” anyone, much less us insignificant human beings to “defend” it…
    It has gone thru different cycles throughout thousands of MILLIONS of years of existance: From active volcanoes everywhere to be completely covered by ice. From Pangea to its surface be split into different continents… Back and forth…

    Most of these “warriors” are financially back by various billionaires or government agencies who have it in their financial interests to support these terrorists (topple governments, confiscate land to sell to China, etc.). Who do you think gave them their weapons, vehicles, food, etc etc.

    Fighting environmental damage from mini and other human activities with eco warriors is not enough. You have to address the root causes of why this problem exists in the first place, that is the increasing human population, this increases more demand on resources, therefore not having children or full sterilization will solve this environmental problems

    “throug development, into destruction”.. it is the modern mindset of Greed and Consumerism that is doing genocide and ecocide. Morality is being redefined by traders since the last 5 hundred years. Even Science has been redefined into submission to global consumerism.

    thank you, using jet plasma method, New energy from sea will change soon, there are other source of energy that with international cooperation in coastline we can reduce global warming, sea is huge source of energy, further more we can prevent these phenomena like cyclone and flood and wildfire by using this hot seasonal atmospheric condition, recent years in summer, geothermal energy happens in surface of coastline, there are many countries in coastline with seasonal hot weather and water condition, in sum-up, by using this energy not only is economical but also reduce global warming in countries like Japan, China, India, Mediterranean countries, Iran, Brazil, Mexico, Us, Canada, (Africa and Arabian countries….) . I invented new method base on air pressure rules and quantum physics ionization sea water minerals in strong dynamic magnet bases on paramagnetic and diamagnetic particle and electrical field and electric chemical reactions as major part of fuel (more than 50%) for producing electricity and fresh water and fertilizer. 7 methods for reducing global warming I mentioned in my profile.
