By Mark Manolopoulos, published 25/5/2017

The Earth is under attack, and we're its attackers. How can we defend it?

For god's sake.

* thorium reactors providing cheap energy; driving

* multi-storey hydroponic towers (solar-powered for 240hour light and heat), if land is scarce; Australia ? Scarce land ? not if those reactors drive

* cheap desalination plants around the coast, with water pumped back to new farm land, perhaps hundreds of thousands of sq. km. which used to be dry pastoral land.

* re-forestation across the North, providing lifelong employment for all able-bodied people in Indigenous communities, therefore increasing the perception of the need for and possibilities of education in the children, and eventually providing a wide range of skilled forms of production.

So what's not possible ?

What a ghastly little nazi this idiot is! So he is going to start killing people if we do not agree with him? How he got this to OLO is beyond me although it shows what these filthy greens are up to.
One thing we can be sure of is when anything kicks off this contemptible little bully will be well away from any danger hiding under some stone.
Universities have degenerated into spiv dens hawking rubbish degrees to uneducated people so as to make a very disgusting buck

A rather turgid essay to say the least.
But his thesis that we are systematically destroying the integrity of the Earthworld is correct - as these very prophetic dramatic images show:

As does the contents of this website too:

And such is the inevitable manifestation/outcome of the naive self-serving essentially Godless creater-"God" idea.

CDU, building Yellow 1, is it the mould spores from the rotting carpet on the second floor which still affect everyone there ?

It is not possible to ascertain from this article whether it is based on the author’s ignorance or on his dishonesty.
If Mark is unaware that there is no science to show any measurable human effect on global climate, then his article is based on his ignorance.
If he is so aware, but supports the climate fraud regardless then it is based on his dishonesty.
Only Mark can enlighten us as to his ignorance or dishonesty when he makes the scurrilous statement:” We should applaud efforts like the summits in Rio, Kyoto, Copenhagen, and Paris in terms of attempting to tackle it.”

Surprised no one has made the link to terrorism from this article. We apparently have difficulty imagining what causes people to take the lives of others on the basis of religious ideology. Yet, if I'm reading this article correctly, we have a mainstream academic considering the possibility of using violence in pursuit of ideological aims. Political violence isn't unique to Islam.
