Some very good points.

One bit of info I could add concerns the following:

Originally posted by Canna Zine

Elsewhere, because of the specialist nature of hemp (its tough - this we know), special machinery designed to cope the the rigours of processing hemp is being designed and built in barns on backwater farms as the technology just doesn't exist at this stage, to deal with the raw hemp in any mass.


It's entirely true that hemp is much tougher than modern crops and that normal harvesting equipment just jams when trying to cut it.

However, HempFlax encountered this problem way back in the Nineties and actually invested a huge amount of money in designing farm machines that could cut down hemp.

They've also improved the post-harvest process of turning hemp-stalks into fibre.

I'll see if I can dig up a few pics...

Can I also say, the Chinese have factories containing huge machines specifically designed to process hemp.
 
The technology does exist, it's just Western politicians have no interest in helping to develop the hemp industry because it would adversely affect the rich business interests they're beholden to.
 
They're also afraid that their opponents will be able to blacken their names by claiming they support the growing of cannabis.

Neither I nor HempFlax have said that cannabis will directly restore the atmosphere or prevent pollution.
 
The argument is that cannabis can supply the majority of human beings' demand for paper, textile, construction material, energy, food etc.
 
Therefore, there is no need to cut down trees, burn fossil fuels or grow crops that require vast amounts of chemical pesticides and fertiliser added to the soil.
 
Now, can we please call a truce? I really wish I'd stayed out of this argument.
 
talk about  lmao,
for about 5 or 6 posts previous to this one from farmer mick, ive been sitting here saying to myself that this quarzen geezer dont seem to be getting whats being said, then at last farmer mick tries to tell him where hes going wrong, and he still argues it.. f*ckin brilliant.
you could never get this type of conversation on any other forum in the world.
i love being stoned with you lot.

OK, I've been trying really hard not to post this, but I can't take it any more.
 
I feel the spannerish need to point out that where the challenge says "the greenhouse effect" it should say "global warming" or "climate change" or even "the enhanced/multiplied/increased greenhouse effect".
 
The greenhouse effect is the natural process by which the surface of the Earth is warmed due to its atmosphere, and if it were "reversed" as the challenge states then the surface temperature of the Earth would plummet to a point so low that what your paper was made from would be the last of your concerns.
 
"Global warming" or "climate change" is the recently observed phenomenon where temperatures are rising globally as the greenhouse effect is multiplied by man's activties increasing the level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
 
Sorry, I know that's really anal, but can I claim my 100,000 on a technicality please, it'd come in pretty handy at the minute loving%20itloving%20itloving%20it

the solution is not the problem...
the problem is that everyone can grow hemp
thats why it still isnt working
if your idea works, every person can copy the idea
to much competition, less profit..
profit is the bottleneck..
