What is "Unsustainable"? by Freedom Advocates Staff
The above list is comprised of summary excerpts from the hard copy edition of the UNEP Global Biodiversity Assessment Report. For more internet information, one can view the UN Global Biodiversity link: http://earthwatch.unep.ch/biodiversity/assessment.php. However, the page numbers referred to above will not match the internet version.
I realized that i would have to buy a copy from them a long time ago; the internet seems to be pretty barren concerning a .pdf or scan of it (which bothers me). It’s just that every time i think about handing money over to these pukes, i start to gag and pass out. SOMEONE out there has there hands on this so that we can get it out to the people.
SOCIALISM!
Ah ... you beat me to it!
You mean rid ourselves of the breadbasket of the entire planet as in the Midwest US?
Riiiiiggggghhhhht.
“Unsustainable”?
Easy”: A national debt whereby the payments exceed revenues. We are nearly there.

Fewer people in denser clusters are easier to control.
Yep.
They're afraid to say it, but they would like nothing more than to kill off 90% to 99.9999999% off the Earth's population so that they could divide it up amongst elites that believe the way they do.
Look for the UN to advocate a “cleansing” in the next few years. Their stance on AGW shows them headed that way. This makes it more clear.
Think of the problems it would solve!
Sorry. My weak attempt at wit regarding the Democratic Party “plantation” voter base apparently fell short. :-)
Nah -- I got a chuckle out of it.
I was just struck by the actual meaning of the phrase, and their description of it as "unsustainable."
You and i are in total agreement. AGW, Cap n’ Tax, Carbon trading - CCX, etc. are all streams flowing from the lake of modern day communism that is Agenda 21.
These kind of beliefs are why the left can NEVER be honest about what they believe or would do if given the power.
A: Social Security.
Do I get a prize?
*Your*
/facepalm
“351 Disturbance of the Soil Surface - Page 350 Large hoofed animals, compaction of soil, reducing filtration”
Large hoofed animals are what keep locusts under control. carry okie is the expert on this stuff.
Totally wrong (as if that was news).
The inoculating bacteria grazers produce feed amoebae that cement soil particles. Those are thence broken up by both amoebae tunneling while feeding on said bacteria and nematodes. These fragments form larger particles called "peds." The larger air channels between peds INCREASE both aeration and filtration.
Meanwhile, hoofs break up fungal crusts that otherwise de-wet precipitation and reduce infiltration.
