This is an excellence presentation. He covers pretty much all the important stuff. Ken, could you actually watch the whole thing, maybe with the whole fam? It's really good stuff.

Exploratory statistical “fact-check” has confirmed Igor Chudov’s assertion that covid vaccines are unsafe and driving excess mortality. In fact the two researchers
found it’s worse than he initially thought. The effects seem to be strengthening as time goes on, and there is no indication we’ve hit a peak. This is very sad news for those continuing to get boosted

I don’t have time today to watch an hour+ video.

And I have absolutely no problem with holistic planned grazing. I think it is great and I enjoy beef as much as the next person. My only points before sidetracking down this path was that:

1. Beef production isn’t a viable way to feed a world population of 8 billion people. We don’t have remotely enough rangeland for that, and
2. Animal food production as it is practiced today is not sustainable. Less than 2% of beef produced in this country is done using the grass grazing methods described in that video. The other 98% is done using intensive feedlots and such that rely on corn and soybeans.

Suggesting that the whole world should be using holistic planned grazing methods is kind of like suggesting the whole world should be using solar and wind power and driving electric cars.

Maybe both are true. The real challenge is how do we get there.

Yes, we do. That was the entire point of his video.

Agreed, but that was the other point of his video.

For most of human history, humans have, well, raised pasture animals on pasture. It boggles my mind that people now say it's "not possible".

What exactly do you think this graphic demonstrates?

You do realize that most actual climate-related research focuses on very specific research questions and doesn't get into broad questions of causality that are beyond the scope of the study in question.

Just like every COVID-related study doesn't necessarily address basic questions like what causes COVID or where did it come from.

A startup says it’s begun releasing particles into the atmosphere, in an effort to tweak the climate
Make Sunsets is already attempting to earn revenue for geoengineering, a move likely to provoke widespread criticism.
Boy, this seems like a great idea

You saying we SHOULDN'T release climate-altering chemicals into the atmosphere?
