Green, Save The Planet initiatives focus on the impact human expansion and activity has on earth’s biodiversity. In reverse however, the earth as part of a universal system undergoes constant changes, driven by various forces and processes which effect our planetary biodiversity and humans directly. Here are some key ways the planet transforms:

Rotation and Tilt: The Earth’s daily rotation causes changes in light and temperature, while its tilt (about 23.5°) leads to seasonal variations.
Orbital Forces: The gravitational pull of the Sun, Moon, and large planets like Jupiter and Saturn shapes the Earth’s orbit, influencing its climate and geological activity.
Weathering and Erosion: Wind, water, and ice continuously wear down and reshape the land, sculpting mountains, valleys, and coastlines.
Volcanic and Tectonic Activity: Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes alter the landscape, creating new landforms, and shifting the continents through plate tectonics.
Climate Change: The Earth’s climate is constantly evolving due to various factors, including changes in the Sun’s radiation, atmospheric composition, and ocean currents. This leads to shifts in temperature, precipitation patterns, and sea levels.
Geological Processes: Plate tectonics, mantle convection, and other geological processes continuously reshape the Earth’s surface, creating and destroying mountain ranges, oceans, and continents over millions of years.

These dynamic processes have been occurring since the Earth’s formation around 4.5 billion years ago, and will continue to shape the planet in the future.

For example, if geologic research is correct, a meteorite or asteroid struck earth and that impact wiped out the dinosaurs and substantially altered all life on earth. When planetary events exert influence on earth there is no way to apportion blame and nobody to send a bill to. Moreover, our understanding of planetary influence is limited notwithstanding recent progress.

Green initiatives need to put blame on someone or some thing to create financial schemes to monetize the problem. However, in looking at the broad spectrum of initiatives referred to in this site, and the tremendous amount of information in the media about them, as well as considered skepticism of the data used to justify these measures, you quickly realize not all is as it seems. Human beings are adept at avoiding the work involved to fix problems they may have created, as well as generating information that gives the appearance of progress when there is very little or none.

That is not to say that green initiatives are not valuable, but you must inspect what you expect to make sure that the people who claim to be solving the problems have effective solutions and are actually delivering on their promises. You also have to follow the money to see who profits from the destruction of human beings and the environment, as well as those that claim to be solving the problems. Only you can make sure that pressure is applied to those responsible.

A government endorsement is the least reliable source of credibility.

those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.” – Thomas Sowell

The other, and far more significant problem is the fact that the activities that we believe are problematic also massively improve life on earth for everyone. Politicians pushing solutions that are half baked to virtue signal, and that will destroy the lives of the majority of people, by astronomically raising day to day costs, and may prove untenable, such as wind and solar power, destroy the economic fabric of the world. As identified by Vaclav Smil, these are not solutions at all.

“It might come as a shock to lawmakers like Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, but nearly all the energy used by humans until a few hundred years ago was renewable, and life was not a utopian heaven on Earth.

The graph nearby shows the amount of energy used by humans from 1800 through the present. In 1800, humanity used 452 times less energy than humans in 2019, and nearly all of it came from biomass.

The “Low Energy” world humans lived in was no paradise. Average life expectancies were less than 40 years. In Germany, every second child died. People’s statures were shorter because poor nutrition and illness limited human growth.

Life was indeed nasty, brutish, and short, and it remained this way until humans began using coal at scale in the 1800s.”

We would also like to point out that we are living in a time in which every effort is being made to mislead the general public for the purpose of control using psychological manipulation, misinformation, and propaganda. The following link is a 3 hour podcast from Joe Rogan in which Mike Benz, a former State Department official with responsibilities formulating and Defense Advanced Research Projects negotiating US foreign policy on international communications and information technology matters, explaining how the US government and military contractors manipulate and control American citizens, using misinformation.

Given the information linked in this site we strongly encourage reading as much as you can about the issues covered and ask questions. It is not enough to simply believe anyone without question anymore. There simply is no settled science, no matter how loud the protests and fear mongering.
