Hope, Finally Real Hope for Climate Change & Desertification (video)

March 14, 2013 by admin in Videos with 2 Comments

Finally, here’s something that offers genuine hope for resolving climate change and desertification. It’s doable. It’s easy. It doesn’t take new technology. It works with nature, not against her. It solves a thousand ills & makes the world beautiful again. And none of that is hyperbole.

The solution is in following nature with large herds of animals in grasslands. It goes against all we’re believed, the idea that animals are a major cause of climate change. That’s wrong—and when you watch this, you’ll know the truth, that we can resolve hunger, poverty, violence, social breakdown, and even most war.

This TED talk by Allan Savory truly does have the answer to solve our problems. Please take a few minutes to watch [22:20]:

bwwwaahhhhhaaa…. Mr. Savory suffers from delusion, or perhaps old age… you can’t keep grazing a desert and expect it to “spring up.” Deserts aren’t an aberration either…

  That article reads much like, “This is the way things are, therefore they’ve always been like this.”
  
  Arguing that Alan Savory is wrong requires demonstrating that he hasn’t gotten the results he appears to have. Arguing that his assumptions are wrong does not alter that fact.
  
  Also, the arguments in that article tend to make assumptions about what Savory says that he has not stated. He did NOT state that the Sahara is anything but natural, or that no deserts are natural. Demonstrating that some are does not show that anything Savory has said is wrong.
  
  The article you’ve linked to tries to obfuscate by suggesting that the word desertification isn’t clearly defined. So what? Grasslands that have been desertified – often by removal of the grazing animals – are now being shown to be recoverable through grazing animals. That’s the point – not whether deserts are the same as desertificated lands.
  
  I’ll not bother going deeper into the critique. It’s clear from this that the author of that article simply doesn’t like what Savory is doing. But he’ll have to come up with better arguments to demonstrate it that there’s anything correct in his views.
