Reducing Nitrogen Use Key to Human and Planetary Health: Study
Channel News Asia ^ | 05 Jan 2023

Posted on 01/04/2023 2:22:13 PM PST by nickcarraway

Better management of nitrogen-rich fertilisers through alternating crops, optimising use and other measures can yield huge environmental and health benefits, but must boost food production at the same time, researchers warned Wednesday.

Reducing nitrogen pollution from global croplands is a "grand challenge", the group of international researchers said in a study in Nature outlining a dozen urgently-needed reforms.

The intensive use of chemical fertilisers helped fuel the four-fold expansion of the human population over the last century, and will be crucial for feeding 10 billion people by 2050.

The point is they don’t want to feed 10 billion people in 2050.

1. No carbon use
2. No nitrogen use
3. No oxygen use

After they are done banning those, they can go for silicon, aluminum and iron.

Feeding a mere 500 million people won’t be a problem though. πŸ€”πŸ˜΅πŸŽπŸ’©

Nitrogen is an element that makes up 78% of air. It’s not a pollutant. I know that’s not what they meant but it’s what they said.

They have demonized carbon and nitrates. What next?

Nitrogen is 78% of the composition of the atmosphere. There is no way that humans can change that to the extent that it would affect the climate.

It's a war on nutrients.
For plants, then livestock and ultimately to make humans starve in large numbers.
Communists have used mass starvation a a weapon many times before.
It has absolutely nothing to do with the climate, that is just an excuse.

“nitrogen pollution”

In a planet where the atmosphere is about 4/5s nitrogen, this sounds like a phrase an insane person would come up with.

Look like we need to figure out how to get rid of the atmosphere.

I ran energy R&D programs for 20 years. There wasn’t a research report written that didn’t conclude “Recommendations: More research is needed.”

According to ‘scientists’, everything on earth and in the atmosphere is destroying the earth and atmosphere.

I guess the only hope is to create a giant ‘black hole’ and destroy the entire Earth and its atmosphere.

“We had to destroy the Earth to save the Earth.”

Climate Catastrophists are already doing more economic and social damage than actual climate change (if indeed there is any) can ever do in the next 500 years. But that's a feature, not a bug.

Never forget that the whole "CO2 global warming" scam was invented by the neo-malthusian Club of Rome as a tool to force a drastic die-off of human populations. This is only the beginning. Ultimately, YOU are the carbon they want to reduce.

Meanwhile, trust the climate oligarchs to find private profit in public policy.

With all that excess carbon and nitrogen - we can make nitroglycerine

Smart countries and leaders in the rest of the world will begin to simply ignore the Government of the United States, and the EU.

Russia has already kicked it off.

And the US deep-state knows, if Russia wins in Ukraine, its all downhill from there.
