Ice Age Farmer, Carbon Pipelines and Food Shortages
A look back at a two-year-old prediction from the "Ice Age Farmer" regarding land confiscation for carbon capture pipelines and impending food shortages. The hosts evaluate the accuracy of these claims in the context of current food prices and availability.
Carbon Capture Pipelines, Food Shortage Predictions
The hosts revisit a prediction from one year ago regarding food shortages and carbon capture pipelines. While the predicted massive food shortages in the U.S. did not materialize, the construction of multi-billion dollar CO2 pipelines through the Corn Belt using eminent domain is confirmed. They speculate these pipelines could eventually be repurposed for oil.
Carbon Food Print, Land Confiscation for Pipelines
The "Ice Age Farmer" reports on the confiscation of American farmland through eminent domain to build massive carbon capture and sequestration pipelines across the Corn Belt. These projects aim to transport CO2 from ethanol plants to be buried underground, often against the will of multi-generational farming families. This occurs amidst warnings from fertilizer CEOs of a looming global food crisis and "life or death" shortages in the coming year.
The hosts open the program discussing the Fillmore Auditorium's acoustic properties before shifting to the "No Plant 19" hashtag. Heavy rains and inclement weather in the American Corn Belt have delayed planting schedules by a week, creating a narrow window for farmers to sow crops.
Whitney Thiessen, Corn Belt Conspiracies, and Lawn Care
Amy Thiessen knights her husband Whitney as Sir Whitney, Knight of the Corn Belt Conspiracies, for his 33rd birthday. The summary details Whitney's interest in conspiracy theories ranging from the moon landing to lizard people. The couple requests jobs karma as they transition into a lawn care business in Northwest Iowa.
Atrazine is linked to the induction of aromatase, an enzyme that promotes estrogen production and is potentially involved in breast cancer development. Syngenta is criticized for simultaneously producing Atrazine and a breast cancer treatment drug that blocks the same enzyme.
