Climate Change: A Fertiliser Fruits Vegetables Effect Poem by Terence George Craddock

climate change let's chat again about
more hidden swept under carpet causes
fruits vegetables don't get off scot-free
fertilisers that contain magic nitrogen
have been used to produce more crops
faster than old time natural fertilisers
manure ground bone used for millennia;
modern fertilisers produce more nitrous oxide

emissions a MIT report; Massachusetts
Institute of Technology a private land-grant
research university located in Cambridge
Massachusetts claims nitrous oxide accounts
for only a small fraction of global worldwide;
greenhouse gas emissions pound for pound

yes this is the heart attack kicker to the heart
nitrous oxide warms the planet 300 times as
much as carbon dioxide found in fossil fuel
car emissions contrast this with methane
80 times more potent at warming the plant
than carbon dioxide now add forgotten data
daily lightning strikes zap strip gas methane;
from atmosphere in a year a source estimates

lightning may remove about 12 teragrams
of methane from the atmosphere every year
equivalent to about 0.3 per cent of the total
methane emissions globally a study suggests
more than 10 per cent of the atmosphere's;
supply of good cleansing radicals could

be produced by our friend lightning storms
now a fact check carbon dioxide endures
lasts longer in our atmosphere than methane
instead of blindly taxing needed fertilisers
required for more faster crops focus upon
nitrous oxide fertiliser soil release systems
make better environmentally safer fertilisers;
make a smart move on cow methane farts

grow better more nutrient friendly feed
mixed in farmer cow pastures for cows
to eat graze on to reduce cow methane
emissions nitrogen-fixing legume plants
good for cows soil are peanuts, cowpeas;
soybeans, fava beans which can fix up to

250 lb of nitrogen per acre and do not
need fertilizer bonus is high-quality
protein energy for animals the roots
of nitrogen-fixing plants are colonized
by bacteria that extract nitrogen from
the air and turn it into nitrogen that is
required for bacterial growth farmer get;
smart don't lethal spray kill good bacteria

rhizobia inoculation can be used to
improve the nitrogen fixation process
symbiosis between plants and bacteria
more nitrogen-fixing plants if peas beans
is not go to choice are cover crops clover;
vetch alfalfa clover is good for cows as

it is rich in protein calcium improves
the health of the soil by fixing nitrogen
but feed it in moderate amounts as too
much clover can cause bloating poisoning
in cows herbs to be mixed with clover
and grass are chicory plantain yarrow
dandelion parsley these can provide;
additional nutrients minerals medicinal

benefits for cows farmers of the world
farm smart safe do not destroy economy
with stupid war on cows like bubble head
Jacinda Ardern her leper lead labour party
buying up destroying best farm land to plant;
tree weed acidic to soil pine tree plantations

to purchase global tax carbon credits
what a scam 30% of New Zealand in
native beech forest received zero credits
classed the same as zero trees oil sands
what a scam New Zealand closing local
coal mines high quality coal importing
low quality more polluting Indonesian coal;
to burn to deceptive reduce kiwi carbon

footprint but Indonesian less efficient
coal production then shipping across
an ocean vast distances is increasing
global carbon footprint this insane
Jacinda Ardern deception on world;
stage for political look good brownie

points is part of a global carbon credit
scam not part of innovative solutions
this is the shell game purchase carbon
credits to offset a countries track record
environmental pollution waste excesses
a genuine real solution attack production
waste inefficiencies at industrial source;
reduce pollution dramatically in creation
