'Humans, especially those living in the countries on the frontier of innovation, create knowledge that allows us to grow our resources well in excess of the resources that we consume.’
It is laughable, but expect the ‘arguments' to be repeated by right wing politicians everywhere.

bobjmsn, Earlier today the UK Government’s Secretary of State for Scotland, Alister Jack MP, announced that he will order ministers to plan for a nuclear reactor to be built in Scotland!
Scotland only has one operational nuclear site left, Torness, which will be decommissioned in 2028.
Will you help us tell Alistair Jack and the UK Government to keep nuclear out of Scotland?

Wen, Solicitor general to appeal over case of climate activist who held sign on jurors’ rights
The Conservatives are prepared to go to any length, to stifle dissent and overturn long established principles in English law.

paulpeace, 
I can't seem to get people to take ecological collapse seriously, even some in the scientific community. They think it is 'extremist' and 'politically-driven'. Everything is politics, including denialism and ignorance. Every move we make as a society and individual is politics. We don't need to analyses the dipiction's level and types to see its spirit. The spirit is correct. #FoodSecurity #Agriculture #FoodSystem
