STOPPING CLIMATE CHANGE.

 

STOPPING CLIMATE CHANGE.

I think what needs to be done to stop climate change is just too big for governments to handle, & the majority of people in the cities do not want to have to change their environmentally damaging lifestyles. It is easier for the governments to wait until disasters happen, & then put their energies into dealing with those individual disasters. Having said that I must point out that the Australian government never did finish helping the people after the last catastrophic climate change wildfires.
I believe the only way to stop climate change is to change society to function on a more primitive technology, & to stop the burning of fossil fuels completely & immediately. This would be a tremendous task, but I think it is the only way to save humanity from societal collapse, total chaos leading to many deaths & eventually possible the extinction of the human race within the next 80–100 years.

Scientist's Three Scenarios For Anthropogenic Climate Change TEOTWAWKI. None Of Them Are Good.

 Scientist's Three Scenarios For Anthropogenic Climate Change TEOTWAWKI. None Of Them Are Good!!!


These are in no particular order:

1) Society will not collapse, it will morph into a Dystopian society & the human race will survive, but there will be a lot of suffering & death. At least 250,000 people are expected to die each year from climate change disasters. There will be food & water shortages.



2) Societies will collapse but the human race per se will survive. There will be a lot of suffering & death. 83 Million people are expected to die within the next 80 years. 



3) Societies will collapse, possibly within the next 10-30 years depending on the increase of carbon emissions. The human race may go extinct within the next 80-100 years.

None of these scenarios are good, & people need to start preparing for the coming disasters now. No one is going to change society, farming methods worldwide are not going to change, & no one is going to stop the burning of fossil fuels completely & immediately, & this is what it would take to stop climate change.
There is a general acceptance that farming will be drastically effected, some by the increase in pests due to the increasing heat, others will cease to exist because the heat will simply be too much for stock to withstand.
Some cities are likely to become uninhabitable due to the increasing heat. In all this there will of course be more frequent & more severe disasters such as floods, droughts, hurricanes/cyclones, tornadoes, & sea rise. The oceans are becoming more acidic day by day, & this will cause the demise of many if not all of our sea food supplies. Waterways will become increasingly polluted from agricultural run-offs & bushfires. Drinking water will become increasingly contaminated. Bushfires/wildfires will become more frequent & more sever.
Scientists predict there will be more sever Zoonotic diseases due to the heat, droughts, & the destruction of wildlife habitats by forest clearing & bushfires.

COP26 Failed, Why, and What Do We Do Now?

What Can We Do Now.

Well we, the people, have two choices as I see it, we either have to organize much larger strikes & disruptive protests, & I mean MUCH LARGER! Or we start seriously prepping for the coming disasters. Being prepared may not save us, but at least we will hopefully be prepared enough to survive anything that can be survived. IF society were to collapse early, say within the next decade, then we might stand a much better chance of survival, as this would likely be teotwawki, & hopefully it would seriously affect the use of fossil fuels.

Don't Choose Extinction

Climate Change Apocalypse. Moving to Life Off Grid.

 


Climate Change Apocalypse. Moving to Life Off Grid.

The biggest cost in moving off grid is purchasing your own land. You can camp on your land whilst you construct your home. You can erect a shed, or park a caravan, or pitch a tent. You can purchase & install a garage & slowly convert that garage into a house.



Next expense will be rainwater catchment tanks to catch rainwater from the roof of your dwelling. Make sure you have tanks to supply water to your home, & separate tanks for watering your garden.

Two of the four garden water tanks. 

A 5,000 gallon poly water tank fed from the roof of the old cottage which I first built when we moved here. This feeds the cottage & the main house outside laundry.

Two 5,000 gallon cement rainwater catchment tanks. The lower one fills from the maim house roof, & the water is pumped to the upper tank which then gravity feeds to the house.

Starting a garden & keeping some chooks & or ducks is a survival must. The world is going to suffer food shortages in the near future, some countries are already suffering famine & people are starving, so it is extremely important to become as self-reliant & sustainable as soon as you can.

Part of the garden is raised garden beds made from cut down old galvo water tanks.

This one made from old roofing iron.

This larger one made from wooden pallets with roofing iron on the inside.


If you can’t afford a rainwater catchment tank right away, then find some other containers to get you by. We started off catching rainwater from the kitchen roof in fruit juice 44 gallon drums when we started in the Territory. Now we are in New England NSW.

I recommend you get composting toilets, but if you can’t afford these from the start, then construct an outside dunny & install an ash can toilet. Use mulch or sawdust or wood ash in the toilet, & when it is full, bury it in your garden area to compost/breakdown.

The outside loo at Elm Cottage.


Grey water from your shower & the kitchen can go to the garden. We have grey water trenches under our garden beds. The urine from our composting toilet also goes into an underground trench.

Electricity is not compulsory, but it does make life easier. My wife & I lived an 18th century lifestyle for over 20 years. Our shower & toilet were outside, we did the washing of clothes & bedding in a copper over an open fire, I made a Coolgardie safe & we dried a lot of our foods. When we needed meat I hunted with my .20 gauge flintlock fusil, it was less expensive than using a modern firearm.

Elm Cottage.


Now we are living in a larger house just down below the cottage that I first built. Now we have solar power, so we have a fridge/freezer. We bottle a lot of our garden produce & we still dry some of our foods & herbs. We cook on a wood fired stove which also heats our water. Water is gravity fed to the house, no pump required. We have a wood fired heater to warm the house in winter.




The main house, Linstock.


Cattail Pond below the two houses.

Solar power shed. We had the panels mounted on the shed rather than the house roof, because they are easier to get at to clean.

New Firearms Legislation & Gun Confiscations!!!



Its been another eventful month with COVID still making the world turn in the opposite direction and Biden gifting/leaving behind an aresnal that would envy the Kalashnikov factory to the taliban. Melbourne and New South Wales have been suffering extensive lockdowns and poor Melbourne even copped an earthquake. At Owen Guns we have been busy I have had lots of pats from customers, some even ask if they can take me home, which my mum swiftly replies with a stern ‘no’. Some days we get asked 3 times a day if we have pistol powder, ADI is still not providing us with any product or any answers as to why, when and how. The problems suppliers are having with transport companies has kicked into action and we have had a quiet week for deliveries. Hopefully some of the small freight companies will pick up the slack and we will get some of our orders soon. On a whole living in QLD is still a good place to be as I will highlight in this months newsletter.

 

Victorian Firearm Prohibition Order

 

An article published by The National Shooting council on the 12/9/21 has revealed that there have been some amendments to the Victorian firearms Act. The aspect of the Bill of most concern to civil liberties and human rights is the introduction of Firearm Prohibition Orders.


There does not need to be a formal declaration for a person to be considered a prohibited person; a prohibited person is a status. Under the Firearms Act, the designation of being a prohibited person is a status. This means that a person is not declared prohibited person (for example, by a court), they automatically become one if they meet the definition provided in section 3 of the Firearms Act. An individual may be declared prohibited by virtue of being made subject to a Firearm Prohibition Order.

Police will be able to detain an FPO subject for as long as is reasonably necessary to conduct a search. They will be able to search any item, package or thing in their possession, and any premises, vehicle, vessel or aircraft related to the FPO subject.

The Government has itself acknowledged that the laws breach the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities because there were less restrictive alternatives.

FPOs allow police to search people (including children) and property without a warrant, and even in circumstances where there is no reasonable suspicion that the person has committed an offence this is afforded under section 112R(1) of the Firearms Act.

The person subject to an FPO does not have to have ever acquired, possessed, carried or used a firearm.

FPOs can be made because of the “behaviour” (undefined) of the person or because of the people they associate with.

FPOs can be made over children as young as 14.

These powers are afforded under sections 112Q and 112R. Under section 112S, if the FPO subject is in the company of another person, that other person will also be able to be searched.

 

They are handing these “FPO’s” out to people with no court hearing, its as easy as getting a parking fine except the consequences last 10 years. If subject to an FPO you can be searched without suspicion and without a warrant, even your children, forget privacy or rights, you lost them. You can be issued an FPO based on “behavior” we have heard that can be for car related fines and even attending protests.

 

When the opposition suggested limited amendments, the Government suggested that was because the coalition is in the pockets of organised crime.

Both major parties no doubt want to appear “tough on crime”, but all sides of politics have a heavy responsibility to ensure that only appropriate and proportionate legislation is enacted, where limitations to human rights are justifiable.

The reaction from both the NSC and Victorians against this proposal has been swift.  Nearly 1,200 people have let Victorian Police Minister, Lisa Neville, know that they want the Bill amended.
As a result, the NSC is now in extensive discussions with MPs about the changes they want to see, which has caused the passage of the bill to at least be delayed while this is sorted out. If this slides through in Victoria what would stop them from enforcing it in Queensland?

 

Victoria and News South Wales Gun shops Suffering Under COVID

 

With Lockdowns and Government prohibiting Gun Shops from being able to function as normal, I wanted to find out how it was affecting sales and people’s livelihoods. I sent an email to all the firearm dealers down south asking them how they are coping with lockdowns and restrictions. I knew that they would be suffering but I had no idea of the extent, especially since our media doesn’t show this side to the lockdowns I felt it important to try and spread the truth about their losses. It also might give some understanding as to why some people are upset about being in constant lockdowns. This was my favorite and most entertaining response to my questions and highlights the massive thrashing these businesses are taking…

 

Have you been able to operate during the lockdowns –  Lockdown 1-2 No we were shut down by Victoria Police/ Firearms Traders Assoc. After I had some rather heated arguments with Victoria Police about legislation interpretation and enforcement. Since then, the rest of the lockdowns we have been able to do online sales, transfers and pay/ collect sales, no instore sales.

 At what capacity have you been able to operate –  Maybe 15% of our usual daily turnover.

Have you lost business due to the lockdowns –  To the tune of about 15-22K per day that we are shut.

Can you give examples of the loss –  Last year cost us close to 250K, this year it’ll be more.

Have you had to cut down staff –  Yes, running half usual staff at 5hr days.

 What are your stock levels like due to distribution issues –  Currently stock is OK because we can’t sell much, once we are open, we will be in the hurt locker within 2 weeks due to supply chain problems.

How are your customers coping –  Not very happy with our current state of affairs and the lack of Balls shown by our tree hugging idiots in power.

 Are you getting any assistance from the government –  Yes, but it’s a pittance. Suppliers still want to be paid, and it’s hard to pay for stock when you have no real income.

 Anything else you would like to add –  Got any jobs? Happy to move to QLD, I like Gympie!!

 

This can’t continue to happen. The smaller gun shops won’t be able to come back from this. Less gun shops is not good for the industry as a whole. It’s not an easy trade to be in, half of the work we do is on behalf of the government, paperwork, registration ect.

 

“Fit and Proper” person battles being won!

 

Since the beginning of the year Queensland shooters have been persecuted a little bit more than usual when renewing for a license or applying for a PTA. Shooters Union has assisted more than 100 members with firearms issues since January this year alone thanks to legal action supported by Shooters Union and their Legal Defence Fund.

 

Of the more than 100 members asking for help, 80 of them were directed to lawyers for a free consultation, and 60 of those members then decided to pursue their matter further. The lawyers have stated that every single Shooters Union member who pursued their case via the support program to date has won. In every case, Weapons Licensing withdrew their opposition and the licence or permit was issued, renewed or returned, and in many cases, the situation was sorted out without the member even needing to file an official QCAT action – the lawyers were able to sort the matter out with Weapons Licensing in our member’s favour before that.

 

On top of those successful outcomes this year already, there are another approximately 20 cases currently in the QCAT pipeline involving members. The successful situations cover everything from licence rejections on “fit and proper person” grounds to primary producers denied renewals due to ‘not earning enough’ or ‘not needing a handgun for work’, and a range of other assorted reasons – all of which were withdrawn when the legal team got involved. The offer for Shooters Union members is simple: If you are a member and have a licence or PTA rejected, suspended or revoked, they will provide you with a free consultation with an experienced firearms lawyer to discuss the matter. If the lawyer believes you have a case, Shooters Union will pay your QCAT filing fees.

 

Just today I had another customer come to us saying Weapons Licencing had sent them an email saying they had to hand in their guns or put them into storage because there was someone living at their address that wasn’t fit and proper. The email does not say who in the house that is not acceptable and when they call to ask Weapons will not tell them. We advised her to speak with her local member of parliament and also contact Shooters Union.

Owen Guns Bulletin July Edition No 181, 2021. Medical Confidential Information Exposure & Government Corruption.

 




Owen Guns Bulletin July Edition No 181, 2021

Last month I relayed to you Tony Perrett’s Question on Notice No. 478 Asked on 22 April 2021 he wasn’t happy with the response he received so he has put forward another one.

Question on Notice No. 849 Asked on 17 June 2021 MR A PERRETT ASKED MINISTER FOR POLICE AND CORRECTIVE SERVICES AND MINISTER FOR FIRE AND EMERGENCY SERVICES (HON M RYAN)- QUESTION: With reference to guidelines by the Weapons Licensing Branch for firearm licences and answer to Question on Notice No. 478 of 2021- Will the Minister (a) release the medical advice identifying medical conditions which should be reportable, (b) advise when cancer was removed as a reportable medical condition and (c) list by year from 2015 to 2020 the number of (i) notifications to change of status due to a reportable medical condition and (ii) reports made within the prescribed 14-day period?

 


ANSWER: I am advised by the Queensland Police Service (QPS) that each application, or review of an existing weapons licence holder, is considered carefully and individually. The Weapons Act 1990 (the Act) requires that a decision maker must consider all the factors relevant to the person being assessed. As each weapons licence holder’s circumstances are considered carefully and individually, I am advised that it is not possible to exhaustively list all the examples which may be reportable conditions under the Act as such examples will be individual to the particular circumstances. I am advised that a weapons licence holder is required under the Act to report any change in their personal circumstances to police. Accordingly, the licence holder should always discuss any changed circumstances with Weapons Licensing and, if necessary, Weapons Licensing will seek further advice from the person’s doctor or other medical professional. I am further advised, the list of conditions on the application form for a weapons licence is intended to ensure that an applicant can consider and declare any potentially relevant condition. The list is not intended to be exhaustive. I am advised that as applicants are assessed and reviewed on a case-by-case basis, QPS would need to review each individual weapons licence holder’s file to collate the data requested by the Member and further, that the QPS considers the Member’s request to be an unjustifiable use of police resources.


Apart from dodging the questions like they are hot balls of lava being tossed like volleyballs at him he also states there is no list of medical conditions “it is not possible to exhaustively list all the examples which may be reportable conditions under the Act”. So should we be telling weapons when we get gout? Or migraine? Or kidney stones? Hon M Ryan can’t tell us. He then goes on to say “Accordingly, the licence holder should always discuss any changed circumstances with Weapons Licensing” I am taking this to mean they want to hear about my sore neck and bladder infections otherwise they will take my licence for “withholding” information.  Because as he said “if necessary, Weapons Licensing will seek further advice from the person’s doctor or other medical professional.” I know they don’t care about our human rights but I just wanted to see what constitutes doctors breaking their confidentiality agreement. Guidelines for Doctors on Disclosing Medical Records to Third Parties 2010 states the following…… The AMA believes that any initiatives by third parties, including Government, to compel doctors to disclose patients’ medical records must overwhelmingly be proven to serve the public interest. The public benefit of such disclosure must outweigh the risk that patients may not seek medical attention or may modify the personal information they disclose to their doctor because of fears their privacy will be breached.


‘The conversation could change your life when you lose your guns’ 

The public benefit must outweigh the risk that patients may not seek medical attention.  If your livelihood depends on you having firearms I know that you will think twice about seeking medical help right now. Then the public benefit must be pretty big? What is that public benefit though, licensed shooters are not posing as any threat to the community. If anything we have to be perfect or we lose our licences but they continue to treat us as a threat and as criminals.

Lastly he states “QPS considers the Member’s request to be an unjustifiable use of police resources.” The real unjustifiable use of police resources is trawling through licensed shooters health records every time they approve a PTA or renew a license.


The Amnesty Joke
A Permanent Firearms Amnesty has been declared and it’s a bit of a joke. Speaking from experience Amnesty or no Amnesty people have been able to hand in firearms to be registered without issue. The legislation however stops it being an Amnesty like it has been previously.
Weapons Act 1900 Section 168B – Amnesty for firearms and prescribed things in particular circumstances
(2) Subsections (3) and (4) apply if the person— (a) takes the firearm or prescribed thing to an approved licensed dealer under subsection (1)(a)(i); and (b)does not provide the approved licensed dealer with the particulars as required under section 73(a). (3) Section 73 does not apply to the approved licensed dealer. (4) The approved licensed dealer must surrender the firearm or prescribed thing to a police officer. Maximum penalty—10 penalty units.


If they don’t want to leave their details, then WE (at the gun shop) have to take them to the Police Station where they will be destroyed. In previous amnesty’s we as an approved dealer have been able to take firearms off people without recording their details and then proceed with them how we see fit (parts, saleable or scrap). The Joke is that our local police station has been telling people they don’t want to do the paperwork so take it to the gun shop. Then the citizen takes firearm to us, tells us they don’t want their details recorded and then we have to take it to the police station, where the police do the paperwork and destroy it anyway. So what is it all about? Why have a ‘non-amnesty’? I can think of a couple of reasons 1. It’s good for P.R, more and more people are becoming ‘antigun’ and it makes them feel like the Australian Government is keeping them safe and is on their side eg. “Federal government launches permanent gun amnesty to improve community safety”. 2. Little old ladies think it’s finally safe to hand over the air rifle that has been sitting in the shed rusting for the past 25 years. But it always has been safe. Also every article I have read on the topic regurgitates the same quotes and is meant to deliver the same message…


Assistant Minister for Community Safety Jason Wood said “An unwanted firearm can also be deadly. If not properly stored, there is always a risk that it could harm you or your loved ones.”

Diana Forrester, chair of Crime Stoppers Australia said “Sadly it is the minority who use firearms to threaten and injure others, and it is important to limit the opportunity for these criminals to access and use firearms.”

So what I take from this is that unwanted firearms can jump out and hurt you or your loved ones. An inanimate object can basically come to life and harm people. Now I know this guy meant they could be stolen and fall into a criminals hands but so can registered firearms. Then we have the chair of Crime Stoppers saying that it is sad that it is the minority who use firearms for evil.  Does she want it to be the majority? These quotes can be found in several articles about the amnesty and no one is actually thinking about what they are saying especially the people making these remarks.


TNT/Fed Ex taking a hit at firearms

The firearms industry is taking another hit in Australia with TNT (a FedEx owned company) refusing to deal with firearms in any capacity. An article written by SIFA Shooting Industry Foundation Australia has outlined exactly what is going on.

TNT has been the main provider of freight services to the Australian firearms industry for decades and in return they have been loyally supported with some industry accounts dating back 30+ years. Despite this, the Australian firearms industry is again finding itself in a battle for essential business services, as FedEx (who recently purchased TNT) have advised the entire Australian firearms industry, that from the 9th of August they will cease to provide crucial freight services, giving just weeks for an industry wide solution to be found and prevent the industry from grinding to a halt. What is more confusing for Australia’s major firearm industry stakeholders, is that it was only in March this year that SIFA members were assured that long-term accounts were NOT under threat and that FedEx / TNT would continue to provide them with freight solutions. Yet only 3 months later, Matt Daniels Managing Director – Sales for FedEx / TNT has advised Australian firearms businesses in a simple form letter, that “As we progress with FedEx-TNT integration, we are continuing to align TNT operations and transportation policies to FedEx Express. Effective from 9 August 2021, we will cease the transportation of firearms, weaponry and ammunition in both our Domestic and International networks”.


The reasons provided for the decision have also been called into question, as publicly available policy from the parent company FedEx Express USA appears to be at odds with Mr Daniels statement. In fact, FedEx Express USA will ship firearms and ammunition and does not appear to have any intentions of stopping. Expressly the FedEx policy states:

FedEx Express will transport and deliver firearms as defined by the United States Gun Control Act of 1968, between areas served in the U.S., but only between:
1. Licensed importers; licensed manufacturers; licensed dealers; licensed collectors; law enforcement agencies of the U.S. or any department or agency thereof; and law enforcement agencies of any state or any department, agency or political subdivisions thereof.

So once again it appears that the Australian firearms industry is subject to cancel culture! First it was the banks cancelling accounts and eftpos services, then it was insurance companies refusing to insure firearms businesses, now it is Australia’s largest and most secure provider of nationwide freight solutions. This decision by FedEx / TNT could not come at a worse time and will have a disastrous economic impact on the entire Australian firearms industry, including many family retail businesses who are still battling challenging trading conditions and are more reliant than ever on freight services due to the effects of COVID-19. Ultimately the downturn this decision will cause will cost Australian jobs at a time when they are needed the most. The Australian firearms industry also plays a key role in supplying the law enforcement and defence sectors with various products and solutions. As foreign owned FedEx / TNT have made this decision without ANY industry consultation and will be leaving the industry without an integrated national supply chain, this has opened up potential ramifications in the supply of products essential for Australia’s security and public safety. As a highly regulated industry, estimated in 2018 to contribute $2.4 Billion and 19,000 jobs to the Australian economy, this decision has left many questions unanswered. The most obvious being; how can a foreign owned company be permitted to set up and become the major industry player, and then cancel essential business services to an entire industry that services key government defence and law enforcement contracts that are crucial to Australia’s sovereignty, safety and security? This decision should rightfully incense all Australian industries, businesses, and the general public as it is clear that a foreign owned company can quite easily bring an entire Australian industry to a halt with next to no notice, and no Government oversight.

There is bound to be repercussions the Defence Force won’t just accept it. Its pure and simple discrimination and people will catch on. If they are prepared to lose millions in business it provides an opening for another company to step up and take the money.

 

Covid Fines and Power Trippers
Unless you have been living under a rock Covid 19 has been consuming our news, politicians, health professionals and Australia as a whole. Some places are back to wearing masks, some are in quarantine and everywhere you go you have to sign in with a smart phone. So with all this brings new laws and new penalties which people are getting stung with left, right and centre. We as a small business retailer are having to do the Police’s job by making sure people sign in to the ‘QR Code’. Any business not complying with the public health direction could be liable to a fine of $13,345, with the owner facing up to six months in jail. “Unfortunately, we know when we ask our retail workers to enforce or to ask people to engage in these new protocols, it leads to customer abuse and customer violence,” Ms Lamb said. She said making the app compulsory had introduced a range of new teething issues for retailers and customers. So they know that we will have some troubles implementing these laws but the threat of getting fined will make us conform.
Residents in NSW heeding advice to get vaccinated as quickly as possible have been left stunned after returning to their cars to find hefty parking fines at the state’s mass vaccine hub in Sydney. Across the road from the centre on Figtree Drive in Homebush, parked cars were each slapped with a $270 parking ticket. The people claimed there was no signage outlining where they should park.


Their seems to be some police that either don’t know the new laws on Covid or just make it up as they go along. I almost don’t blame them I tried to find some clear information on the offences, breaches, fines I came up with no clear guidelines. I would like to know what risk I’m taking when I walk into a public setting. Avi Yemini from Rebel News Fight the Fines has a website that demonstrates how indistinguishable the right from the wrong is. He has roughly 50 videos or cases of people who have been found guilty without clear cause.

The ‘so called’ offenses these people commit are so subjective and the fines are so exuberant it makes you not want to leave your house. One instance a couple are stepping out of the shopping complex and remove their masks, the cop runs over and starts the procedure for fining them for not wearing a mask. They keep saying it will be on the shopping centre’s cameras that they only removed their masks upon exiting the centre. The police officer then says they can contest the fine if they feel need be but obviously that will cost more than double the fines. So the website ‘fight the fines’ is asking for donations to help people who are being bullied by the police to contest the fines. Avi Yemini advises people that whenever you have interaction with a police officer that you record the conversation to help the world understand what happened. Not a bad idea. Definitely worth checking out his website.

YOU SERIOUSLY NEED TO READ THIS FROM BEGINNING TO END!!! How the rich plan to rule a burning planet

 



How the rich plan to rule a burning planet.

 

“The climate crisis isn’t a future we must fight to avoid. It’s an already unfolding reality. It’s the intensification of extreme weather – cyclones, storms and floods, droughts and deadly heat waves. It’s burning forests in Australia, the Amazon, Indonesia, Siberia, Canada and California. It’s melting ice caps, receding glaciers and rising seas.”

 

“To believe that someone in Morrison’s position could genuinely be ignorant of the dangers of climate change is itself to give up on reason. The prime minister of Australia is among the most well-briefed people on the planet, with thousands of staff at his beck and call to update him on the latest developments in climate science or any other field he may wish to get his head around. The only rational explanation is that Morrison and his like are aware of the dangers posed by climate change but are choosing to act as though they’re not.”

 

“They are like angels of death, happy to watch the world burn, and millions burn with it, if they can preserve for themselves the heavenly realm of a system that has brought them untold riches. This is language that Morrison, an evangelical Christian, should understand. What might be harder for him to grasp is that he’s on the wrong side.”

“When seen from this perspective, everything becomes clearer. In the face of the climate crisis, the main priority of the global ruling class and its political servants is to batten down the hatches. Publicly, they’re telling school kids not to worry about the future. Behind the scenes, however – in the cabinet offices, boardrooms, mansions and military high commands – they’re hard at work, planning for a future in which they can maintain their power and privilege amid the chaos and destruction of the burning world around them.”

How might we change the way we use energy so that we are more resilient and reduce the negative impacts on people, other living beings, and the planet?

 


How might we change the way we use energy so that we are more resilient and reduce the negative impacts on people, other living beings, and the planet?

By changing society & stopping the burning of fossil fuels completely & immediately. If we do not do this, society will collapse in the very near future, & the human race may go extinct within the next 100 years.
I know, people say this can’t be done, how can we live without electricity etc etc. My wife & I lived for over 20 years without electricity & we raised three fine sons in that time. Society was changed in WW2, & we survived. We did it then & we can do it now. The problem is that the majority of people are asking for something impossible, they want change, but they themselves do not want to change. They expect the governments to stop climate change without them having to change their environmentally damaging city lifestyles, it CAN’T be done.
So the peoples of the world have a choice, they can either change society & stop the burning of fossil fuels completely, or today’s children will likely die from climate change.
Yes I know, this is not going to happen, too much selfishness, greed & apathy, & corrupt government ministers are still making a lot of money from fossil fuel corporation bribes.
Time to start preparing for what is coming.
