Since nitrogen fertilizers are now an enemy of the planet according to liberals and the World Economic Forum, here's a good documentary about the chemist who created them

Quote HistoryQuoted: Saying 'chemical fertilizer' designates that it is not a natural fertilizer such as guano. Before the Haber process there was a massive industry in mining guano from tropical islands as that was about the best source Technically you are correct, but the world chemical has been corrupted to mean dangerous poisonous or flat out bad in many ways. When in reality these "chemical fertilizers" are the foundation of feeding the entire globe. How about the term modern fertilizer |

Without Haber Germany war effort would of fell apart way earlier for lack of explosives in WW1. He was very loyal to Germany not putting up with any insult to Germany greatness. Lot of suspicions about his death. Hitler comes to power then Haber has a very well timed heart attack. Could of been a incredible ace in Germany hand but Haber was Jewish.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Saying 'chemical fertilizer' designates that it is not a natural fertilizer such as guano. Before the Haber process there was a massive industry in mining guano from tropical islands as that was about the best source They mined phosphate rock and ground into a powder and used that for phosphorous until they realized that it would be more soluble when reacted with sulfuric acid and then realized they could react phosphoric acid and ground phosphate rock and make GTSP Later they realized i would be complete when they reacted the phosphoric acid with anhydrous ammonia to make MAP and DAP |

A story driven by an agenda for synthetic meats and bug paste.
They don't vilify Einstein in the same way, convincing America to enter into the arms race to build the first atomic bomb. I don't think many people get to the end of their life and not have something they wish they hadn't done. We often say the difference between a hero and a villain is the winner who writes the history book. Would he be portrayed as such if he was British or American? But fertilizer is bad. Get rid of it and embrace the fallacy that we can grow enough food in our backyards to sustain ourselves. Might had been able to make that turn 50 years ago, but you're a long way from convincing the current generation to leave easy air conditioned jobs and go toil in the dirt. |

“Saved billions” to… die of something else?
Or even just saved parents who had more offspring who then were beyond the (newly expanded) capacity of the land. I haven’t really sat down and done the math, but I wonder. |

There are lots of youtube videos with younger people quitting their rat race jobs to start permaculture, small scale farming, etc due to the enjoyment and rewarding nature of that work. They create content on YouTube so that helps their incomes, but it is definitely a trend to a certain degree. |

I mean, I know fertilizers aren't all made of chicken or cow shit....but oil? What? Chemical plants react natural gas and water to produce the hydrogen to needed to feed into the Haber-Bosh process to produce ammonia. So no, oil isn't used but natural gas from the oil fields is used. |

Banditman has moved on to P and K which is mined from the earth. Then there is S which actually kind of is a product of oil production or by product from sour gas. Then there is melorganite, that is human shit. |
