Science

  • Our understanding is based on the work of ERA Scientists Michal Kravčík, Jan Pokorný, and Anastassia Makarieva, among others.  To them we owe these actionable insights.
    • Water and life moderate climate.  Warming, storming, fires, floods, and droughts are all caused by reversible land and water management practices.
    • Dead, dry, sunlit dirt is 20-40 degrees F (11 – 22 degrees C) hotter than landscapes where green plants grow on moist healthy soil.
    • Plants are solar-powered air-conditioners.  They cool the earth’s surface, maintain normal water cycles, rain patterns, and cross-continental water transport.

We believe the prevailing paradigm is leading us astray!
