nospmoht:Are u not ashamed to say this nonsense, the climate is warming,the signs are everywhere...the science is there, the effects are there... what else do u need? Is it only west that is pushing for climate action, are u not seeing the Chinese and asians take action to invest in green technologies and find solutions to reduce emissions? |

Matrix137: Well said. Preach it brother. Those that know the real African history not the one portrayed by western media know that libraries existed in Timbuktu, Mali before the French ever knew what libraries were. The European have erased the history of native Americans and native Canadians that's why we here nothing about them or their history today. They tried to do the same in Africa and almost succeeded. Versions of history like Africans living in huts are nothing but western propaganda aimed at erasing the real African history and making Africans think less of themselves! 7 Likes 1 Share |

So the huts in ur village were brought by Europeans abi |

This right here is the issue. There are people who do not give a thought to CONSEQUENCES! It is all about making immediate cash for them regardless of whom their venture harms or destroys. There has been a lot of warning from censored scientists about the dangers of GMO to the human health. It poisons the DNA! The people pushing for GMO acceptability know this. Hence the cleverness of paying greedy people who are more than willing to betray their own people for money. If you have the means, please own a small garden on your plot of land. Make an allowance where you can at least grow some of the food you eat. This has been the practice since the history of mankind. At some point we have allowed corporations with sinister motives to occupy that sphere. I do not see drought as a drastic problem. Irrigation is a thing! If you are willing, you can avoid GMO completely. SeriouslySense: 5 Likes 2 Shares |

specimen23:Why many still Pretend that they Can't SEE that the Book of Revelation is being Fulfilled right in our Days is baffling, they turned blind eye at the fact that the Anti-Christ CORONAtion happened in Year 2020 by the most Satanic Global Deception, and now he wants to Own every Soul on Earth through the DNA Enslavement. Those that are yet to know that Gene-Spilcing was a useless Knowledge beyond Humans' reach till Satan and the Fallen Angels taught it to their half-human Offsprings in Genesis 6. Book of Enoch was removed from the Scripture because it exposed the full details that what is now repeating itself in this World led to the Wiping out of Humanity during Noah's Time. 2 Likes |

No need for GMO. If you keep accepting anything an outsider presents to you, they can severely undermine your food security. They are also smart enough to know that these people are not offering these seeds for free. It always comes at a cost, either to the detriment of the health of citizens, or future dependence on these companies for their grain. The Earth has given us food in abundance. Learn to plant and store at least 20% as grain 5 Likes 1 Share |

JuanDeDios: The EU rejected GMO for several reasons. One, unlike the US that adopts food first without testing, the first time they find out something is detrimental to health is after several people have died or are afflicted. Then they test that product. The EU tests first before release. The result of their tests have shown that GMO may cause cancer. Secondly, there is the issue of food independence. Once you start farming GMO, you must continue to buy your seeds from the supplier as you cannot plant seeds derived from GMO. This will lead to dependence on the supplier as opposed to the current practice where the farmer replants the best yield from their farms. 4 Likes |

GMO foods are designed to be infertile, so they dont make flowers, they contain too much sugar and not enough macro and micro nutrients. the plants do not replenish the soil like some natural plants do. if you eat them , you keep coming down with nutritional deficiencies. it is just a form of subtle yet dangerous colonization. please no one should have anything to do with GMO 4 Likes 1 Share |

WEF is not the only major economic forum, the Chinese have their Baoa economic forum, there are also other major economic forums for dialogue held in Asia, they all talk about climate change and they investments needed to ensure a sustainable transition.... Even the arabs that have oil have acknowledged climate change and are finding a way to be involved in the discussions for solutions...
