”Many animals arrive dead, sometimes frozen to the sides of the trucks where a chain has to be wrapped around them to pry them loose. They are tossed onto a pile of other animal carcasses. Animals barely able to walk from the trucks into the chute to be slaughtered are beaten to death with a lead pipe. The killing is done so quickly – 200 to 400 cattle can be killed in an hour, or 3,000 to 5,000 per day – that when animals are skinned they are sometimes still alive, forcing workers to thrust a knife into the head to sever its spinal cord.”

On Contact: Mainstream Environmental Movement Lies.
https://www.rt.com/shows/on-contact/533294-mainstream-environmental-movement-lies/
The mainstream environmental movement receives a lot of criticism for their proposed ‘green’ technical solutions to climate change.
”This is a fantasy sold to us by an environmental movement that promises we can continue to indulge in orgies of consumption and maintain the levels of waste and perpetual growth that define the industrial age.”
China maintains 'artificial sun' at 120 million Celsius for over 100 seconds, setting new world record.

Medium: The Earth has 57.27 million square miles of land, we only need to convert 0.2% of it to solar.

”We can power the whole world with a relatively small amount of solar panels. The Earth has 57.27 million square miles of land, we only need to convert 0.2% of it to solar, and we can power ourselves entirely. To give some perspective, it is estimated that 1% of land is built up and human-occupied (cities and towns not farmland). In other words, if we can convert 20% of urban areas around the globe to have solar on them, then we can fully power ourselves!”
However, large-scale photovoltaic solar farms envisioned over the Sahara desert would do more harm than good:

”Large-scale photovoltaic solar farms envisioned over the Sahara desert can meet the world's energy demand while increasing regional rainfall and vegetation cover. However, adverse remote effects resulting from atmospheric teleconnections could offset such regional benefits. We use state-of-the-art Earth-system model simulations to evaluate the global impacts of Sahara solar farms. Our results indicate a redistribution of precipitation causing Amazon droughts and forest degradation, and global surface temperature rise and sea-ice loss, particularly over the Arctic due to increased polarward heat transport, and northward expansion of deciduous forests in the Northern Hemisphere.

but i suppose we'll just keep hearing about #trump and #brexit and nothing much else from the complicit media.
we do not have a over-population problem. we have a resource mismanagement problem.
90% effort into remedies to supersede the mismanagement. 10% in tackling the mismanagement. nicely, Dr Vandana Shiva.
