What I have to say about this book is very simple: Read it, please. Straight through to the end. Whatever else you were planning to do next, nothing could be more important." And what about soil erosion? To me this is a critical issue for the long term. He quotes Jules Pretty as saying that farmers can create a meter of soil in ten years. I'm sorry, I can't take this seriously without more evidence. That would be a rate perhaps 1000 times greater than the normal geological rate of soil formation! If it's too good to be true, it probably is.

Once Ghidorah had destroyed the Aratrum and begun to enter Earth's atmosphere, Godzilla would move to challenge the unknown kaiju, using his atomic breath in vain against Ghidorah, who simply deflected it into the air, or into the ground. Using two other summoned heads, Ghidorah would bite into, and grapple Godzilla, being able to hit Godzilla without the latter being able to return the strikes. And you can add to the list, not the least of which is the West’s refusal to take any of this very seriously. And in the US 2016 Presidential race? Almost completely ignored. No one wants to talk about this (dying) elephant in the room. Big biz owns the media, owns congress, here in the US, at least, and we have as possible President Trump who insists climate change is a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese. So as usual, insanity prevails. Today (literally today) the Paris Accord signed by the EU is a tiny step forward as we also see Haiti again thrashed by another 145 mph hurricane. Does all of this sound tired and naïve? Yeah? Heard it all before? Yes, I have, too, and for decades of reading and activism. But it's all we have, I think. Do I think Big Biz or Government will change in any fundamental way? No. So we must act locally. Or what’s your alternative? Maybe reading Solnit will help. {update; I see some small signs about ending deforestation many countries seem to be signing on to in Glasgow. And making some small moves to reduce carbon emissions. But to sign a piece of paper and actually do something are two different things. Talk is cheap. Politicians's talk is cheaper.] When concentrating powerful plasma from his fins, Godzilla sparks his tail and produces a plasma blade extending for 600 meters that reduces anything it touches to ash. Many fans pointed out similarities of this incarnation of Godzilla with Death Saurer and Gojulas series (Gojulas, King Gojulas, Gojulas Giga, etc.) from the Zoids franchise, especially with the former while the latter is based on Godzilla. There is also a hypothesis that Mechagodzilla in 1993 was inspired by King Gojulas. These include:

The concept of this incarnation of Godzilla originating from plant-based organisms, is remarkably similar to the origin of Biollante who, coincidentally, possesses genetic ties to Godzilla. Godzilla would attempt to burn Ghidorah, giving off similar temperatures to those seen during Mechagodzilla City's fall, however, Ghidorah would simply begin to absorb the heat, and then begin to freeze the monster, raising him off the ground in the process. The monster appeared 8 times during a period of two years on a global scale, and total casualties were estimated to be more than 300 million. Humanity had to abandon all over the east coast of North America, northern parts of Africa, and half of the Eurasian continent.

It should be noted that this only denotes a change in aesthetic, over a new, notable form in the vein of Fire Rodan (ファイヤーラドン , Faiyā Radon ?), and Godzilla is shown shifting between it and his more normal form during City on the Edge of Battle and The Planet Eater. It was confirmed that this Godzilla would also exceed the already enormous size of the Godzilla from the Shin Godzilla continuity family, coming in at 300 meters, something that would be described in the film as well.

Akira himself was returning to the HQ erase the Aratrum's data on Godzilla, alongside other monsters, claiming the remainders and descendants of humanity wouldn't need the history of loss, and put amusements in the database instead. We've got a lot of work to do if we're going to survive on this Eaarth, but most of it needs to be done close to home. Small, not big; dispersed, not centralized." Read Rebecca Solnit on various ways people respond in crisis; yes, there is always great greed and selfishness, but there is also charity, creativity, resourcefulness. Savage Dreams: A Journey into the Hidden Wars of the American West, and Hope in the Dark: Untold Histories, Wild Possibilities, which I am going to read soon, because it is about hope.

The tendency to invent as needed in humans, the best of the communal human spirit. The demand for the better, simpler life among many on the planet. That we still have these good tendencies is many is hopeful. The west coast was totally destroyed, and the eastern side of the nation was divided, including safer regions. Around this time, the Godzilla/Nuclear Cult formed, resulting in mass suicides using nuclear bombs and executions in inner continental regions, with death tolls counting up in the tens of thousands. This continued until the Exifs' visit. The global population had decreased to about 522 million, confirmed by the Global/Earth Union and estimated to be 700 million in total in the 16 years since Godzilla's first appearance. Humanity was totally cornered in terms of both potentially habitable areas and population density. Thus, with their population dwindling in less than the twenty thousands, humanity was forced to abandon the planet even if leaving the majority of the planet's population, around 700 million people, behind.Read Wendell Berry's What are People For? or The Gift of Good Land.

Mothra's scales were once able to deflect Godzilla's beam in a manner similar to the late Ghidorah. In the Planet of the Monsters novelization, Metphies revealed that "Godzillas are rather ubiquitous beings on a universal scale" than being unique organisms on Earth, and would be devoured by their deity. Metphies noted that it was a common fate for advanced civilizations to meet their ends by Godzilla, and the Exif have seen such cases on "countless other planets". Humanity speculated that Godzilla may possess an electromagnetic booster due to his non-ordinary swimming capability including quiescence and speed which stopped submarines from being able to keep up with him.This was the most intense period in terms of Godzilla's activity according to Project Mechagodzilla. Did we listen? Well, some of us did. But most of humanity continues to trundle on towards the harsher world we're making for ourselves. While other monsters have been recognized by humanity since 1999, Godzilla didn't make any formal appearance until 2030. This incarnation of Godzilla is the largest incarnation of the monster yet, coming in at an approximate 318 meters in height, or 1043.31 feet. This dwarfs even Shin Godzilla's incarnation of the monster, and the Marvel incarnation, the former being 118.5 meters (approximately 389 feet) tall, and the latter being 184 meters (about 603 feet) tall.
