KW: Here in NZ glyphosate is widely used in farm operations. I note farmers spray regenerating green grass in paddocks and then sometimes put sheep into eat down the dying grass as well as drilling new crops straight into the dying grass just sprayed. Are we mad to allow this, or is there something I’m…

KW: another view of the dramatically changing environment The danger we face does not come, in the end, from Trump and his malignant cabal. It comes from severely weakened and corrupted democratic institutions. Source: Chris Hedges: The Elites Won’t Save Us – Chris Hedges – Truthdig

Of course it is Americans with there guns and arrows who believe they are the dominant race and so PCR has  hit…

KW: Unsurprisingly this does not sit comfortably with the mainstream promotion of climate change happening at an alarming rate and the continual push for more to be spent on fighting pollution and other ways of slowing the industrial growth of rival economies such a India and China – don’t want to be left behind you…
