Best 15 Ways to Drawdown Greenhouse Gases / Published on Jul 24, 2017
I discuss 15 of the most important ways that humanity can significantly reduce fossil fuel emissions. The ultimate goal is removal of carbon from the atmosphere/oceans, as outlined in the book Drawdown and website drawdown.org; We do this, or we perish…
Of course, wind turbines and solar panels are important and on the list, but they are NOT at the top. Ditto for food and trees. Guess what all 15 are, and then rank them. Then watch my video and be very surprised. I was..

WOW! Hemp is the miracle plant of our time, breathing in 4x the carbon dioxide (CO2) of trees during it’s quick 12-14 week growing cycle. Trees take 20 years to mature vs 4 months for Industrial Hemp! Our forests are being cut down 3x faster than they can grow! One acre of hemp produces as much cellulose fiber pulp as 4.1 acres of trees!!! (Dewey & Merrill. Bulletin #404. U.S. Dept. of Age. 1916)

even if you show them the facts they still find a way to avoid facing the unthinkable truth.

I wonder if these three requirements of electricity generation were taken into consideration? https://thstlewpg.wordpress.com/2017/07/02/three-requirements-of-electricity-for-modern-societies/ . Also, which countries listed here set a good example of CO2 emissions for electricity generation? https://thstlewpg.wordpress.com/2017/03/15/international-energy-agency-electricity-production-statistics-for-oecd-countries-2014-2016/
