“UN Agenda 21 wants to kill off 85% of the population by 2030”

FYI, full text of Agenda 21:

https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/content/documents/Agenda21.pdf

I couldn’t find anything about 2030, but did some additional searching and found this:

THE MESSAGE OF THE GEORGIA GUIDESTONES

Inscribed on this neo-pagan Stonehenge:

1. Maintain (!) humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature. (That means reducing 80-90% of the world’s population!)

Agenda 21 was not working out so they renamed it agenda 2030 I think

I’d say the evolution of new super bugs is of more concern because it’s happening.

Wouldn’t natural processes be breaking open crystals and pieces of amber all the time? I’m not worried.

Would it help to worry?

I’ve been vaccinated. Pity the newborns from 1980 until now.

Interesting question:

Endothermy demands frequent respiration, which can result in water loss. In living birds and mammals, water loss is limited by pulling moisture out of exhaled air with mucous-covered respiratory turbinates, tissue-covered bony sheets in the nasal cavity. Several dinosaurs have olfactory turbinates, used for smell, but none have yet been identified with respiratory turbinates.[104]

Because endothermy allows refined neuromuscular control, and because brain matter requires large amounts of energy to sustain, some speculate that increased brain size indicates increased activity and, thus, endothermy. The encephalization quotient (EQ) of dinosaurs, a measure of brain size calculated using brain endocasts, varies on a spectrum from bird-like to reptile-like. Using EQ alone, coelosaurs appear to have been as active as living mammals, while theropods and ornithopods fall somewhere between mammals and reptiles, and other dinosaurs resemble reptiles.[104]

A study published by Roger Seymour in 2013 added more support to the idea that dinosaurs were endothermic. After studying saltwater crocodiles, Seymour found that even if their large sizes could provide stable and high body temperatures, the crocodiles’ ectothermic metabolisms provided less endurance and only 14% of the muscle power of a similar sized mammal. Seymour reasoned that dinosaurs would have needed to be endothermic since they would have needed powerful muscles and endurance to compete with and dominate mammals throughout the Mesozoic era.[105][106]

Just goes to show that the human race is insane. Completely insane.

There was an outbreak of smallpox in London in the 19th century after grave diggers disturbed ground near 18th century graves filled during a smallpox epidemic.
