It's the Lorax come to life. Next up, selling air.

What happened to protected species? My husband's work forced him to stop if a "protected" rodent in the desert was breeding nearby here in California. An environmental agents sat in a chair watching them work incase a rodent showed up. Now we have border walls going up breaking 20+ environmental laws and trees being chopped down killing God only knows how many species of animals. They are going to turn all of California into a desert, making the climate catastrophe they pretend to solve.

All current green measures are the next generations' mess to clean up.

"They are going to turn all of California into a desert, making the climate catastrophe they pretend to solve."

Exactly! I see it here in Baja California. The trees create microclimates, more moisture remains in the soil and it's not baked to death. The trees and the microclimates they create around themselves support more species. Driving through towns and cities with not a single tree in sight is depressing. It's just dry dead dirt and dust everywhere. There is no water. There is no shade. It is a harsh environment. In the wild desert areas there is some life, cactus and bushes like sagebrush do the best they can and there are a few more species. But when you come across a tree, there is more life around them.

This also solves Gates problem of how to control all farmland and force people to eat expensive pest filled bugs. He bought farmland in the midwest but what better way to control all food than if beautiful California can no longer grow food?

I hadn't thought of it from that angle. I'm certain you are right about that!

I Denmark a couple or three hundred years ago they chopped down entire forests because they needed more room for amber fields of grain. This had disasterous consequences because the country is as flat as it is. It became a desert, and it took decades to reverse.

What? Learning from history?

The Dust Bowl is another event in history to learn from, but learning from history is, of course, not the point. Destruction of as much life as possible IS.

That is so heartbreaking! At least they saw what had happened and tried to reverse it.

This is what Rosa Koire was revealing - the codifying and commodifying of everything as if it’s for sale, tracking, and monitoring. Standard “nickel and dime” everything to the last little bit.

They will not prevail. And we will be spending the rest of our lives restoring and healing from all of this.
