Climate crisis

Climate change on the planet has been a constant throughout its evolutionary era. For context, the last Ice Age began more than 110,000 years ago. The Earth is currently in an interglacial period characterized by warmer temperatures. This is causing a significant decrease in polar and continental ice, increasing the level of oceans and seas. As a result, the theory of global warming due to greenhouse gases is being questioned.

CARBON DIOXIDE

The higher the concentration of CO2, the greater the growth of the plants, as seen in tomato greenhouses, whose principle allows agriculture to be more prosperous. Nowadays, the percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere is 0.04%, while oxygen is around 21, which is 500 times more. If we compare a human being with a car, both produce the same amount of CO2. Still, globalists emphasize that machines produce 1000 times more, and if that were to happen, it would be an excellent benefit for the growth of plants that can absorb 10 times the amount of CO2 currently produced on the planet.

DEFORESTATION OF THE AMAZON FOREST:

The Amazon Rainforest is one of the global climate regulators. It is undeniable that changes in land use affect the amount of water supply in the region and weather patterns across the planet. It is worth mentioning that between 1985 and 2021, the Amazon lost an area of ​​rainforest equivalent to three times the size of the United Kingdom, and an area of ​​trees equivalent to five football fields is cut down every minute, according to the WWF.

WHO INCENTIVES DEFORESTATION

The incentive for destruction comes from large-scale international meat, palm oil, and soy companies such as JBS, the largest meat company in the world, which markets global brands such as Stop & Shop, Costco, McDonald’s, Walmart / Asda, and Sysco for direct sale to the public. Cargill is the largest trader of Brazilian soybeans used to feed livestock in Europe and China and is the world’s largest food and agriculture company.

WATER CYCLE IN THE AMAZON

 The natural water cycle begins with the evaporation of water in the Atlantic, rivers, lagoons, and evapotranspiration trapped by trees to produce local rains; however, around 70% of the humidity travels more than 4000 km to the eastern flanks of the Andes, where precipitation occurs to return to the sea and restart the cycle. The Amazon forests discharge twenty billion tons of water daily; the water from a single tree can fill 10 bathtubs daily.

CLIMATE CHANGE

The deforestation of the Amazon forest is responsible for the climate changes that we are experiencing on the planet; it is enough to remember the fires in Brazil and Bolivia a few years ago due to deforestation because severe droughts affect the entire rainfall pattern.

PLASTIC

Large corporations seeking to capitalize on consumerism on a global scale have driven the proliferation of plastic. However, the resulting waste has had a detrimental impact on the environment, contaminating soils, lagoons, rivers, and seas. Plastic degradation into microplastics has led to concerns about their ingestion by fish and subsequent incorporation into the food chain, with potential health implications such as cancer. Despite recycling 60% of collected plastic, only 15% of all waste is currently collected for recycling.

The world is flooded with plastic.

Plastic is the primary pollutant on the planet. However, with the collaboration of large communication corporations, it is easier to divert attention to other issues, such as climate change caused by greenhouse gases and CO2 produced by human activity.

The Coca-Cola Co., Pepsi, and Nestlé have been the most prominent plastic producers for the past five years. Notably, The Coca-Cola Company served as the official corporate sponsor of the 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference. This raises the question of whether the United Nations will diverge from the position of its primary financial backer.

RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION

Some parties are responsible for the climate crisis. These include companies that prioritize profits over environmental and human health concerns, as well as consumers who are unaware of the impact of their actions. To replace plastic, it will be essential to demand the use of natural raw materials that already exist in the market. In the meantime, the most optimal solution is to reject, reduce, reuse, and finally recycle while also demanding a moratorium on deforestation of the Amazon forest for any use.

SUSTAINABILITY

The immediate goal is to transition the production of livestock, palm oil, and soybeans to more sustainable models by connecting small landowners with global markets. This will ensure the conversion of billions of hectares of degraded land into improved quality of life for local communities and the millions of species that inhabit the forest.

FREE ENERGY

Alternative energy solutions, such as the Neutrino Energy Group’s free energy technology, convert neutrinos into electrical energy. Implementing this technology on a global scale could help reduce the extraction of oil, which is also a contributing factor to the destruction of forests.
