  A Very Convenient Warming - How...

  Learn about the enormous benefits that are accruing to humanity from modest warming and increasing carbon dioxide. By nearly every metric, Earth’s ecosystems are thriving, and the human condition is improving. This notion of a prospering planet is entirely contrary to the claims of a climate crisis and looming disaster around every corner proclaimed by the Climate Industrial Complex. 
  In this audiobook we will explore these benefits and learn that extreme weather events are not increasing, how we are feeding the planet’s growing population through expanded crop growth and that modest warming is saving lives. 
  This audiobook, A Very Convenient Warming, is separated into three sections:The first section, titled Basic Climate Facts, is an expansion and update of Inconvenient Facts’ exploration of data concerning temperature and carbon dioxide. In it, we look at both the very recent and very long-term changes in both. This review clearly exposes that claims of unusual and unprecedented warming are erroneous and that hysteria over increases in CO2 are unwarranted. We also take a close look at the relationship between CO2 and temperature and find nothing of concern. 
  In the second section, Humanity and Climate: Blessed Warmth, Horrific Cold, we review the strong relationship between the histories of humanity and temperature. In it, we find that past warm periods were warmer than today and correlated to the rise of great empires and civilizations. These warmer times of plenty were called “climate optima” before the rampant politization of climate science. The corollary to this were the cold periods that were horrific. Each cooling period was related to crop failure, famine, pestilence, and mass depopulation. History tells us that we should fear the cold and welcome the warmth. 
  In the final section, Life Is Good, And Getting Better, you will learn that the various climate crises are, in fact, simply lies created to spread fear of a nonexistent problem. In this section we explore the many benefits that are improving the human condition and leading to thriving ecosystems. 
  My hope is that I have presented enough material in this audiobook for you to confidently assess and evaluate the various claims made by the proponents of a climate crisis. Make up your own mind, for that is the scientific process.

  The vagus nerve is the most important nerve you probably didn’t know you had. 
  The vagus nerve is a long meandering bundle of motor and sensory fibers that links the brain stem to the heart, lungs, and gut. It also branches out to touch and interact with the liver, spleen, gallbladder, ureter, female fertility organs, neck, ears, tongue, and kidneys. 
  Dr Justin Hoffman, a Santa Rosa, California, licensed naturopathic medical physician, says: 
  “Without the vagus nerve, key functions that keep us alive would not be maintained.” 
  Nationally recognized sports nutritionist, strength, and conditioning coach Brandon Mentore elaborates: 
  “The vagus nerve is extremely critical to your overall health and is intimately tied in with multiple organs and systems of the body.” 
  Vagus nerve dysfunction can result in a whole host of problems including obesity, bradycardia (abnormally slow heartbeat), difficulty swallowing, gastrointestinal diseases, fainting, mood disorders, B12 deficiency, chronic inflammation, impaired cough, and seizures. 
  Meanwhile, the vagus nerve stimulation has been shown to improve conditions such as: 
  - Anxiety disorder 
  - Heart disease 
  - Tinnitus 
  - Obesity 
  - Alcohol addiction 
  - Migraines 
  - Alzheimer’s 
  - Leaky gut 
  - Bad blood circulation 
  - Mood disorder 
  - CancerWhether you are feeling anxiety or depression, you can use tools to engage your social nervous system to re-establish higher order nervous system functions.

  The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the vulnerabilities of our globalized food system and highlighted the desperate need for local and regional supplies of healthy meat. We must replace corn-based feedlots, which are responsible for significant climate emissions, nitrogen pollution, and animal suffering. Grass-Fed Beef for a Post-Pandemic World outlines a hopeful path out of our broken food system via regional networks of regeneratively produced meat. In 2017, Ridge Shinn and Lynne Pledger went to market with Big Picture Beef, a company that partners with farmers across the Northeast to increase access to wholesale markets while promoting holistic grazing management techniques. The result? Increased health benefits for consumers, the environment, and livestock. This book compiles information from the fields of ecology, climate science, nutrition, and animal welfare, along with on-the-farm stories from Ridge’s travels as a consultant all over the world. It reveals that regenerative grazing can restore degraded farmland, protect against droughts and floods, increase biodiversity, combat climate change by reducing emissions and sequestering carbon, contribute to regional economic development, and produce nutrient-dense meat for consumers. This book is for anyone wondering how our farmers and ranchers can raise cattle while also caring for the local and global environment. It includes a foreword by Gabe Brown, the bestselling author of Dirt to Soil.
