Here's one example of what can happen when the federal government tries to protect land.

Here is his response below. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Lars Larsson <persl...@hotmail.com<mailto:persl...@hotmail.com>> Date: Sun, Jan 5, 2020 at 6:10 AM Subject: Sv: Question from Merle To: Merle Lefkoff <merlelefk...@gmail.com<mailto:merlelefk...@gmail.com>> Hej Merle, All farming-land need a rotation of different crops. Some times perennial plants to increase the nitrogen and some time other crops. So it means that we need a rotation program (3-5 year) and this different plant must stand the climate change. A bigger problem is the insects. We need them for this rotation. I have been working with my local food program since we met in Stockholm. I talk to fisher/hunters and they told me that this year the fishing was zero. So I talk to next village and next village and next village and everywhere the same problem. So I find some experts (entomologist) of insects and they told me that the situation is catastrophic. The insect are more or less extinct. In this clean country? We cant focus on climate change, it is only a part of the problem. Just now, just here it is not a problem at all. The problem with lack of insects is worse. The entomologists told me the they have warn the government years ago. The problem is the management of the forests and the pesticides from the farming. This is two sensitive areas for the government so they did not listen. If the scientist was to tell about it they lost their titles so they could not tell the truth about it. And it is still the same situation. So in my topsoil improvement program I involve the insects and now it is emergency. We have 2-3 years to help them to survival. If the insects will be extinct the climate doesn't matter we can't survival. It takes millions of years to repair. Climate can be adjusted i 100 year if we want.

I've got them all thinking about climate now, and here is what Nick wrote: "I could (after some labor) cite data to support the following concern: What we should be watching out for, perhaps more than long term climate warming, is increases in year-to-year climate variability. You can grow rape seed in Canada and maize in the US, and as the climate alters, the bands of climate supporting these two crops will move north. But what happens if one year the climate demands one crop and the next the other? And the switch from one to the other is entirely unpredictable. LARS--is this a good idea? Do you have data on this? -- Merle Lefkoff, Ph.D. Center for Emergent Diplomacy emergentdiplomacy.org<http://emergentdiplomacy.org> Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA merlelefk...@gmail.com<mailto:merlelef...@gmail.com> mobile: (303) 859-5609 skype: merle.lelfkoff2 twitter: @Merle_Lefkoff -- Merle Lefkoff, Ph.D. President, Center for Emergent Diplomacy emergentdiplomacy.org<http://emergentdiplomacy.org> Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA merlelefk...@gmail.com<mailto:merlelef...@gmail.com> mobile: (303) 859-5609 skype: merle.lelfkoff2 twitter: @Merle_Lefkoff
