Have you known any Greens who actually farm? Most never have, and that’s why you get reports like ‘Livestocks Long Shadow’, stating that ruminants (cows, sheep etc) produce 18% of the worlds greenhouse gases and should be banned from farms to save the planet, while we should all become vegetarians.

In fact, cows, with their several stomachs are actually mobile mini-factories designed to continuously re-inoculate the soil with special micro organisms which multiply in their digestive tract. Pick up a cow pat and look underneath and you will see a host of activity with holes where many creatures, worms, dung beetles and the like which feed on the pat, break it down and carry its fertilising contents to the subsoil. There, the billions, yes so many, micro organisms break down the soil constituents, releasing minerals which are then carried by the worms to further distribute and cultivate the freshly inoculated soil, enabling the roots of the crop to take up the vital minerals which organic food contains.

Worms flourish under cow pats and keep the soil alive and healthy, but are slowly killed by continued use of artificial organophosphate fertilisers, which make the plants grow fast and look good (eg deep green grass) , but cause the soil to lack the vital minerals which food should contain to keep us healthy.

Boron, for example, needed for us to avoid arthritis, is just one mineral often missing in our food for that reason – a fact discovered by Dr Rex Newnham, who while he lived, was a member of a congregation I served, and only recently does it appear in vitamin and mineral supplements  here in Australia.

Rex was a soil scientist and helped me to see that in my fields where the organophosphate granules were scattered , there were few mole hills, but in a smaller less accessible paddock which the tractor avoided, here  were many molehills year after year, because it contained many more worms which the moles (In the UK) eat.

Oh, and that UN report, as usual was a con. More than half the emissions it attributed to livestock were actually caused by deforestation, a fact discovered by Simon Fairlie, a former editor of The Ecologist magazine, who dissected its detail.’

Now, the Greens are pushing a new documentary which wrongly suggests to foreigners that kangaroos are a ‘disappearing resource’ in Australia. Green Senator Lee Rhiannon is leading a delegation to promote this documentary film, ‘KANGAROO ;  A LOVE – HATE STORY ‘, in Europe, which compares kangaroos to disappearing “Rhino’s, tigers, cheetahs and whales”.  Australia has an export market of kangaroo meat because kangaroos are culled as their numbers are increasing at   44,852,428 in 2014 – more than when Captain Cook first saw Australia because of their access to stock water in the outback!

Where I live, their growing numbers are posing a threat to the vineyards, and around Australia to other agricultural and pastoral businesses. The activism of the Green – left agenda ignores the facts, and uses their phoney Green credentials to push their atheist politically correct agenda which is against almost everything we read in the Bible, but thankfully it seems that more and more people recognise them as imposters, who are not genuinely green.
