Slowing and Possibly Even Reversing Climate Change
The world endlessly debates the issue of climate change. Only a fool would deny that the climate is changing. However, it turns out that being a fool does not disqualify you from high office.
Allan Savory deserves to be even better known around the world. Reducing our consumption of fossil fuels on its own will not be sufficient to slow climate change. Allan presents a solution which has had a massive impact on the climate and provides people with food, and real purpose in life.
This is a Ted Talk on YouTube if you have any interest in climate change it is worth 23 minutes of your time.
The second video expands on the message in the first and shows that some progress has been made in preserving soil, and reducing climate change. There is clearly still along way to go but Allan Savory demonstrates that with an active management soil can be preserved and improved. Ironically it reminds me of what we were taught in history almost 50-years ago. Four field crop rotation.
The big mistake is to think that these ideas only apply to Africa. The failure of the land to absorb rain leading to flooding is a very common problem in the UK. Some fields near to my local golf club – when it rains in the winter the soil washes away, because the farming practices employed in the UK are not healthy for the soil structure.

Yellowstone National Park Restored by 14 Wolves. Sounds ridiculous… but well worth 2 minutes of your time

You need 13 minutes to view the whole story, however if you do have some spare time this is an uplifting story and shows what can be done with a lot of effort. Spoiler alert. A lot of the land in the world does not have to be desert.

An interesting story from the UK where a river rather than being straightened was “rewiggled”. Bends were put back in to the river to slow the current speed. This had a huge impact on the wildlife in the river. Full story.

January 2025 Los Angeles Huge Fires
A very well presented and articulated video. Having watched the fires on YouTube tearing through Los Angeles I have refrained from commenting, because if you have just had your house burned to the ground chances are you are not going to be very receptive to any suggestion however well intentioned, but the big message in this video is what had crossed my mind. The big idea in this video could and should be applied across a huge swathe of the earth. America, Southern Europe, parts of the UK. Indeed it is probably pretty hard to suggest anywhere which would not benefit from this approach. Asia, Africa, China would all benefit. If you search on YouTube there are other people promoting a very similar approach. Sadly politicians tend to be swayed by money from large corporations and on the surface this does not look like a project big companies would be interested in. Maybe insurance companies would be, if they were told they could not revoke someones fire insurance just because a large fire was heading towards their property, and will have to payout in full. This approach as well as reducing the chances of large fires would also reduce the chances of large floods, which are equally as destructive. Thanks for sharing.
Sepp Holzer
If you see one person promoting an idea of YouTube only a madman would be all in without looking for more confirmation of the ideas promoted in one video, Sepp Holzer shows what can be achieved in Austria on a steep mountain side.
Probably needless to say but Sepp had to battle corrupt politicians to get his ideas accepted. But this and there are many more videos showcase his work.
