If we want to reduce the heat we need to plant way more trees.
They provide shade, food, and effectively cool down the environment because they don’t hold heat like asphalt, pavement, bricks, traditional roofs, etc. 
Trees provide habitat for birds which eat immense amounts of insects including caterpillars, mosquitos and flies, while also fertilizing the soil with their manure.
Some trees fix nitrogen into the ground making the soil more fertile in a natural and effortless and free way, just by standing there.
More trees also means more wood.
Trees can be used to create food forests, which in turn reduce the chances of forest fires because with well-managed living crops growing in the soil under the trees they hold more moisture and don’t catch on fire so easily.
You can prune them at will to give the lower crops the perfect amount of light and shade. With the pruning we can create mulch, (fire)wood, and wood chips mixed with mycelium for making walkingpaths that grow mushrooms.
Add a small amount of chickens per large area and you have extra fertilization and excellent pest control as they eat the insects that also like to eat vegetables. Include ducks and they will get rid of the slugs too.
Tree roots also hold the soil together, preventing soil erosion while providing excellent drainage so that when it rains, the water can penetrate the soil faster and deeper, effectively absorbing floods as well.

With projected food shortages now is the time to plant Chaya Tree Spinach and other edible perennials.
The 3m high Chaya Spinach Tree Chaya Tree Spinach (Cnidiscolus chayamansa) is a fantastic and abundant food.
Chaya leaves do need some cooking preparation as do Cassava leaves and Warrigal Greens. Wikipedia states up to 5 raw leaves a day can be eaten but other sources are more cautious. Although blending and drying also seems to remove the toxic hydrocyanic acid substances, boiling for 20 minutes is recommended. The leaves survive the boiling still looking green and attractive. The broth that is left can also be consumed as the toxic substances have been destroyed by the heat.
Cooking in aluminum cookware can result in a toxic broth, causing diarrhea.[13]
Tasty green leaves are used as a spinach or chard substitute or can be used in a salad and smoothies.
Tumblr media
Chaya is a good source of protein, vitamins, calcium, and iron; and is also a rich source of antioxidants.[10]" Wikipedia
The plant does burn off a little from cold but seems to survive well in a microclimate in a warm temperate-subtropical climate. There are reports that Chaya will regrow from the root after frosts. In colder climates try growing in a greenhouse.Leafless stem cuttings are best left to dry and callus before potting up. Keep the cutting reasonably dry to avoid rotting. 
The Chaya Spinach Tree (a large bush) fits well into a vegetable patch. It takes up a small ground footprint and provides some shade to other vegetables).

Be prepared for these and other failures of basic food staples.  Stock up and don’t tell anyone.  People around the world are already at risk of starvation and climate change is going to make it worse.

News from southern Africa, 3 July.
Cenored, a regional electricity distributor in Namibia, is increasing its electricity rates by 7.6% from July.
This increase follows a 9% tariff hike by the national power utility, NamPower.
The Electricity Control Board granted Cenored an average tariff increase of 7.6% and 7.3% for the Cenored Okahandja joint venture.
2. Botswana and De Beers have agreed on a new diamond sales deal that gradually increases Botswana's share of rough stones to 50% over the next decade.
The agreement includes a 10-year sales deal for Debswana's rough diamond production and a 25-year mining license.
De Beers will contribute $75 million towards a diamond fund and increase its investment over the next 10 years to benefit the Botswana economy.
3. President Mnangagwa of Zimbabwe has accused businesses of creating artificial shortages of basic food commodities amid an inflation crisis.
The government had previously lifted restrictions on the importation of basic goods, but prices have continued to rise and products are disappearing from shop shelves.
Zimbabwe is experiencing high food inflation rates and a weakening currency, making it difficult for many citizens to afford basic food items.

China is hoarding a massive amount of food, including over two-thirds of the globe's corn reserves, over half of its rice, and over half of its wheat, but they are lying about it. As China is the world's #1 food importer, this could lead to global food shortages, making it a smart idea for Americans to stock up on the best-selling 4Patriots Survival Food, and right now, you can get 10% off your first purchase by using the code RTD. https://4patriots.com/

The fiasco of the Gallipoli campaign of 1915 in #WW1 was caused by a global food crisis. 107 years later, the West faces a similar problem. https://www.ft.com/content/bbaa9e19-c07c-4222-a7f3-ce35cc4b1f1b https://www.instagram.com/p/CeZgwhfhwl8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It is quite suspicious these Roe vs Wade opinion "leaks" came out the same day hundreds of Pfizer documents were released. I'm sure it's just a coincidence. 🙄
Here they go again after 2 years of telling us consent and bodily autonomy don't matter. Hypocritical doesn't even begin to describe this mindset.

Hundreds of millions of people around the world are “facing chronic starvation,” and that number is set to become billions in the next few years. According to the UN’s World Food Program, “a food shortage of unprecedented proportions” is unfolding before our eyes right now.
