Are the “declinists” are right after all? Is it only a matter of time before we all admit that “Chinese Century” has begun? Should we just throw in the towel and let China have Taiwan? Well, no: bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

“Given the depth of concern just over this lake, one would think that the state would respond with a clean water and healthy lakes plan. It’s hard to understand why we let Iowa fall so short when the public demands better.” stormlake.com/articles/edito…

The agronomic Manhattan Project on the Corn Belt has been highly successful economically. Ecologically, it has been such a disaster that throwing hundreds of millions at it won't make a difference. Hard truths from @RiverRaccoon cjones.iihr.uiowa.edu/blog/2…

🧵nobody wants carp dead more than me, but man, the millions that have been sunk into trying to make Storm Lake into recreational destination and then to see this water, it's a real travesty that agriculture refuses to own.

for reference, the density of hogs in Lower Saxony, where they have wrecked the water, is 381/mi2. The density of hogs in Iowa is 448/mi2. We have individual counties in Iowa that far exceed that density.
“Behrens says Germans still do not fully recognise the environmental impact of the industry when they buy their pork: ‘Most consumers are not aware that we have too many animals on too little land.’” - Boy, where have I heard of this problem before….🧐 theguardian.com/environment/…

What happened is scientists discovered chlorofluorocarbons were bad for the ozone, countries believed them, the Montreal Protocol was signed, and CFC use fell by 99.7%, leading to the stabilization of the ozone layer, perhaps the greatest example of global cooperation in history.
Remember when they spent years telling us to panic over the hole in the ozone layer and then suddenly just stopped talking about it and nobody ever mentioned the ozone layer again?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
24 nations signed the Montreal Protocol limiting the use of CFCs in 1987. Scientists estimate that if the Montreal Protocol had never been implemented, the hole would have grown by 40 percent by 2013. Instead, the hole is expected to completely heal by 2050. smithsonianmag.com/science-nature…
