Climate ambassadors
The New Earth Environmental Sciences Academy
2025 Introduction Course - (20 Modules)
Ecology & Climate
Definition :
Earth Sciences are made up of many branches of knowledge concerning all aspects of the Earth system .
The main branches are geology, meteorology , climatology , oceanography , and environmental science . Astronomy uses principles understood from Earth to learn about the solar system , galaxy and the universe ( and in our understanding the Omniverse)!
In this course you will be learning about our climate and how it works. Our goal is to verify you as a climate ambassador speaking with authority and acting with certainty in your work to save the planet and all life on it .
We humbly present in the spirit of solidarity to all of humanity our first online course on how our Earth works; and why the current climate weather patterns are inconsistent!
The aim of these 20 modules is to empower you to understand what is happening to our planet and why- and how we can reverse this destructive trend by mobilizing - motivating and activating our combined forces to save ALL living beings on planet Earth!
We now have the technology !
Who am I ?- Who are WE of the New Earth Foundation ?
We are Earth advocates,light workers,decentralists, hemp evangelists , climate scientists and ambassadors and rainbow warriors - but what does that ALL mean to you ?
Our team are all SIMPLY passionate about saving life from the negative impact of a consumer fuelled atavistic
( greedy) - egocentric and confused society. We can ant to reverse climate change and make poverty history !
We support the rights of the First or indigenous Nations to self determination; and we believe that through our efforts we can reverse the negative impact that humankind has had on the planet thereby giving the next generation a better world to inherit !
Doing nothing or following pseudo fake sciences is not an option. We must do something now - it’s ALL hands on deck !
Therefore , we have created this custom made course to make you aware of what is REALLY happening to our planet, and what we can all do to save it from an imminent extinction . One that only the Earth itself will survive as we go closer to a climate Armageddon .
Our particular knowledge comes from first hand experience- on the ground -as well as formal education in over 120 countries and 40 years of travel in various environments and biomes from desert to jungle.
We have personally witnessed the dramatic changes over a long period and I - personally was in Brazil when the first Earth Summit took place in 1992.
What has happened since my first travels through Africa and elsewhere overland since 1982 has convinced me that this is the MOST important job on the planet right now.
This is a shout out to everyone to get involved. GET DIRTY AND GET DOWN !
However , it all begins with education and the transference of skill sets. The acceleration of consciousness and the clear understanding of how it all works !
That is why we have designed this course to create the awareness of what lies ahead for all humankind and what we can do about it . Together !
Our climate sciences course is also combined with research data , statistics and data collected from disciplines across the world without favor or prejudice in the most objective and honest way possible.
We are NOT answerable to any political or religious entities, lobbies or corporate agendas. We are objective and independent and self funded !
We are also not for profit; ethical and independent. Period .
Our aim is to awaken the heart, mind and soul to the great challenges ahead and to empower you not only to MAKE a difference but also to HELP others with this priceless knowledge and wisdom we have acquired at great personal cost .
You will also at the end of this course be able to approach many like-minded organizations across the globe as an educated climate ambassador for our beautiful EARTH !
We will also help to validate your diploma by giving you access to further resources as an alumni of the academy.
We can do better !
GO PLANET !

MODULE ONE :
CLIMATE CHANGE : THE CHALLENGE
“ HOW TO BECOME A CLIMATE AMBASSADOR”
What is the Climate ?
Definition : “Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area. Weather can change from hour-to-hour, day-to-day, month-to-month or even year-to-year. A region's weather patterns, usually tracked for at least 30 years, are considered its climate. “ National Geographic
“the weather conditions prevailing in an area in general or over a long period.”
Weather is defined as the state of the atmosphere at a given time and place , with respect to variables such as temperature , moisture , wind speed and direction , and barometric pressure .
In short, there is a difference between climate and weather!
Whereas climate pertains to the collective weather of any particular area or overall at any given time- Like now -or two years ago- eg
“ the climate is fair and not too hot or humid”- if the climate becomes unbearable over time for instance- it has changed !
…Weather is more specific .
It is what is happening at that moment with regards to the wind and the rain and other various factors that affect the climate of that area. This is weather .
It affects us because farmers for example count on it to forecast when to plant their seeds and when not to. We will go more into this later.
In Africa there is usually a “rainy” season and a “dry” season . In Europe you have 4 seasons - Spring - Summer -Autumn or Fall and Winter.
You don’t plant seeds in the ground if there is no rain to assist in germination and growth or it’s too cold- or no consistent rainfall. This leads to drought disasters.
If both weather and climate are consistent we know when to plant and when to harvest . It’s that simple. If not we have food insecurity or disaster.
If we extrapolate or expand our thinking to include the oceans we know when the fish are moving or reproducing. We also know when the temperatures of the sea changes and so does the algae and the coral. They even know when to spawn.
We can also know when we get lunar tides- and when animals move or migrate both on land and at sea. Humans follow these patterns in order to survive- And to thrive !
We also know how to prepare for winter when it gets cold - and by knowing this we can predict when we should do things and when not too. In the far North we know when the Earth thaws -or the light returns after months of darkness. Bears know when to hibernate because of the weather and the climate. The coral on the Great Barrier Reef know when to spawn and so on .
In the jungles and plains of Africa we can predict the migration of animals. And it’s usually something to do with the rainfall and consequent grasslands that grow as a result .
All of these factors can help us to have food security and make ensure we don’t starve because we planted the wrong thing at the wrong time. I’m ancient times this was governed by the moon phases or changing weather patterns .
Climate affects our emotions , our moods and the general economy. If there is no rain there is no food and if there is nothing to eat we all starve ... we all suffer eg load shedding when water levels drop-
If there is no good air or water to drink we suffer from unnecessary diseases such as cancer or stomach or heart diseases.
If we overuse fertilizers or pesticides to mitigate climate changes we impact our health and wellbeing. If the conditions of life itself are absent everything suffers and everyone. No one escapes!
That is why it is so important to understand how this is all interconnected and beyond nation state boundaries. It is global and it is local or “ glocal” in nature !
The rain we receive and the air we breathe is all dependent on what is happening on a different part of the rock we live on called “Earth” .
To go further in our understanding of climate we should realize that the earth is a “biological computer” with dynamic formulas that together create an “ Equilibrium ” -
( we will discuss this at length in the “Theory of the Equilibrium “)
This balance is what sustains us all and the climate and weather patterns itself .
What is the climate ?
It is what keeps us alive!
“ Then God saw everything that He had made , and indeed it was very good .” Gen 1.31.
………………….
What is Climate Science vs Pseudoscience ?
The word “ science “ derives from the Latin word “ scio” meaning “ to know “ and is essentially something that is agreed upon as a fact until something comes along to disprove that fact - for example - the Earth is flat - this was believed until people came along like Eratosthenes in 296 BC. or Copernicus who proved that the Earth was not the center of the Universe.
Man’s knowledge of knowing has consistently improved with the desire to know. And this is what governs technological progress.
Pseudo science blindly accepts a known fact or disputes it without questioning its reality- as the Catholic church did with Galileo's heliocentric theory ( the sun being the center of this solar system not the Earth ) - which proved correct ! The inquisition cited incorrect literal versions of Genesis-
“Pseudoscience consists of statements, beliefs, or practices that claim to be both scientific and factual but are incompatible with the scientific method.” Wikipedia.
“ Then God made two great lights : the greater light to rule the day ( the sun) , and the lesser light to rule the night ( the moon) . He made the stars also .” Gen 1: 16
Galileo thought that the bible contained scientific truths and that it is the function of wise interpreters to discover those truths. Blind faith creates blind believers and pseudo or false science.
In truth as the Zohar says it is all “relative”. From God's eyes Earth is His footstool -or center but in physics the Earth revolves around the sun - our understanding today is far different than it was only 200 or 500 years ago. Science therefore changed with our understanding of the available facts at hand. Even to this day !
Thought : Why is this important today ?
Simple … because to understand what is climate change we need to understand climate science. If what we know today has changed from what we knew 40 years ago does the threat of climate change mean our extinction?- or is it just alarmist propaganda ?
-therefore it is important to have a critical mind and to examine all the information available without dismissing contrary theories out of hand as conspiracy theories -This we intend to show in later modules .
Having an open mind is the first rule of credibility-and science itself - prove me wrong or prove me right ! Any kind of religious science fails because in the words of Socrates - “the only thing I know is that I know nothing ! “
Scientific Method : Scientific methods are the processes of objectively establishing facts through testing and experimentation. The basic process involves making a prediction , conducting an experiment and finally analyzing the results.
One of the biggest obstacles of real understanding of the challenges ahead is understanding the difference between bad science and good science.
True science comes from pure observation and evaluation. This is our foundation for knowing the importance of what we are doing now and why.
In these training modules we will look at both the science and the spirituality of saving life on planet Earth.
Yes we can !
So What is Climate Change ?
“Then the LORD God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it.” Genesis 2.15
God's first job for Man - for Adam was to essentially become a gardener that would look after and benefit from the Creation itself . The whole Earth is a biological Miracle but also an organic computer that works according to certain formulas and algorithms. All we had to do was to look after it - cultivate and keep it ! Watch over it ! Yes also have dominion over it - but nevertheless it was both a spiritual and a physical act that worked in tandem to produce balance .
Last time I looked there are no other Earths as great as ours for thousands of light years at all. Mars is like the moon . And most other planets and satellites . There’s nothing there . We are dependent on our common survival of all humanity that this Earth - this blue planet keeps going as it is . We cannot afford it to be destroyed or it’s fragile climate to be hurt in any serious way .
But there is a problem . Human beings are greedy - narcissistic and exploitative . They fail to do the right thing because it’s easier to keep humanity in subjugation- ignorance and fear .
In truth we have enough for everyone . Nobody needs to go without . Yet we invest in things we don’t need or have no positive good on our wellbeing. Or the Earth . In fact for the last two hundred years we have chosen “ progress and technology “ above the environment and above well-being . This must end because not only is the climatic weather patterns being altered … the actual environment that sustains us . Today by letting off 100 nuclear bombs we can ensure our children, if they survive, will live in a constant winter and be mutated by the radioactive fallout that follows . These mutant human beings will be our gift to the future . And our eternal shame . That is if indeed anyone survives the first year of an Armageddon .
So what is climate change ?
It is LIFE .
The day of using hydrocarbons is almost over . We need to enter a new era of what I call the green transition or the BIONOMY !
When people say it’s all
A hoax I’ll urge those same people to travel to the same places they visited 40 years ago .I did.
What did I discover ? Drought . Floods . Intense heat . Bleached coral . Reduced water levels in the Dead Sea . Strange insects (fly) and frog pestilence. Less precipitation . Less fresh water supplies . More corruption . More greed . More waste . More over consumption . More stupidity and more egocentric thinking .
But fortunately not everyone has been brainwashed to over consume . It’s simply the fact that there is the need for great changes in how and what we eat - what we do - how we travel - what we drink and what we buy !
It is all interrelated .
Here is one simple explanation : “ Global climate change refers to the average long-term changes over the entire Earth. These include warming temperatures and changes in precipitation, as well as the effects of Earth's warming, such as: Rising sea levels. Shrinking mountain glaciers.”
Some people think Climate change is all about EL NINO effect* - this is nonsense - there are around 10 or more reasons for climate change. We will Look into the causes more closely very soon .
El Niño : means “ little boy “ or Christ Child and there are many theories about HOW it affects global climatic conditions . It originates from the Amazon region through intense differences in barometric low and high pressure caused from the evapotranspiration ( water vapour from plants and trees) . Scientists have studied this phenomenon for a long time z as ne it is not absolutely determined why this has or does have a negative impact on the worlds weather from South America to Australia . But it is obvious if you’ve studied it closely . Trees remove carbon and produce clouds and oxygen . This is why the Amazon forest provides 25 % of the worlds oxygen and it’s fresh water . In 1992 it was thought it produced 33% by the Institute de nationale de pesca in manaus . They were wrong but not entirely wrong . It is the decimation of more than 30% of the Amazon forest in the last 40 years that has been one of the causes of the current climate crisis . But there’s a whole lot more . The changing wind patterns do have an impact on climate change but it is one of the reasons. We will discuss more on that later .
El Niño according to most definitions is the area and phenomenon of this event that occurs cyclically . It’s also an easy political
Excuse to get money from the IMF or World Bank rather than deal with the root causes of climate change such as charcoal burning and the cutting down of the rainforests and over grazing .
This is what the mainstream say :
The El Niño–Southern Oscillation is a single climate phenomenon that periodically fluctuates between three phases: Neutral, La Niña or El Niño.[12] La Niña and El Niño are opposite phases in the oscillation which are deemed to occur when specific ocean and atmospheric conditions are reached or exceeded.[12]
An early recorded mention of the term "El Niño" ("The Boy" in Spanish) to refer to climate occurred in 1892, when Captain Camilo Carrillo told the geographical society congress in Lima that Peruvian sailors named the warm south-flowing current "El Niño" because it was most noticeable around Christmas.[13] Although pre-Columbian societies were certainly aware of the phenomenon, the indigenous names for it have been lost to history.[14]
The capitalized term El Niño refers to the Christ child, Jesus, because periodic warming in the Pacific near South America is usually noticed around Christmas.[15]
Originally, the term El Niño applied to an annual weak warm ocean current that ran southwards along the coast of Peru and Ecuador at about Christmastime.[16] However, over time the term has evolved and now refers to the warm and negative phase of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO). The original phrase, El Niño de Navidad, arose centuries ago, when Peruvian fishermen named the weather phenomenon after the newborn Christ.[17][18]
La Niña ("The Girl" in Spanish) is the colder counterpart of El Niño, as part of the broader ENSO climate pattern. In the past, it was also called an anti-El Niño[19] and El Viejo, meaning "the old man."[20]
A negative phase exists when atmospheric pressure over Indonesia and the west Pacific is abnormally high and pressure over the east Pacific is abnormally low, during El Niño episodes, and a positive phase is when the opposite occurs during La Niña episodes, and pressure over Indonesia is low and over the west Pacific is high.[21]
Essentially what happens in places like Africa is that the wind patterns change because of this phenomenon and instead of rain coming and falling at a particular time - they don’t . What has happened consistently over time is that with the reduction of green coverage on the Earth and reduction of water vapour and changes in the air pressure as a result - the wind which brings the rain to the land don’t blow anymore how they used to blow . No trees . No wind. No rain .no food . In simple terms .
Of course what we have not officially factored into this equation is the Congolese forest which has actually increased over the last 50 years due to war - bad policymakers, greedy dictators and loss of basic infrastructure eg trains .
This has been a blessing in disguise which has mitigated the devastating devirestration and fires we have seen in the Amazon in Brazil in the last decade .
What is climate change ? It is our greatest challenge over the next decade to the continuing survival of humankind in the coming century . It impacts food security in a profound way for example in Zambia where 70% of the maize crop failed in 2024 and caused a reduction in hydroelectric which impacted how many hours of electricity each household and business had which in turn impacted the entire business - social and political world of that country and will continue to do so in the years to come if nothing is done quickly to reverse that trend .
The Challenge : “ My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children..” Hosea 6:4
At the New Earth Academy our challenge is to educate and equip you to understand what we are facing - why and what needs to be done to not only reverse climate change - but to make poverty history. And to start off by becoming a climate ambassador you can help others into the green transition by empowering the people who simply are not only ignorant of these facts but reject it because it is an inconvenient truth that requires change and action .
The climate ambassador has the role to educate - motivate and activate these very same people who prefer apathy to activation. It is a Holy Mission to bring peace on Earth and restore the equilibrium of the planet to its symbiotic relationship with all
Life as we know it . The challenge is great . But…
” It is only impossible until it is done !” Nelson Mandela
