Also this. while planting is good and well, it’s hilarious to think that it’s the magic bullet to an insanely complex issue (with next to no social buy in, sadly).
if we increase our soil carbon by 1% globally, we’ll have saved the planet!
Lol. lmao even. 1% is 10,000 ppm, which equates to 24,000 kg/ha of organic CARBON across the board. Conversion rates organic matter to organic carbon are slow, and much, much lower than 1:1… now you begin to see the problem…
The issue is that you might not end up at the desired ecosystem you want. While natives are good, you need to consider topographic, climatic, and edaphic conditions to be successful. It doesn’t make sense, for instance to plant a bunch of cottonwood trees on sandy sites, because they’ll die off. More importantly, however, it doesn’t make sense to plant monocultures of native species as you don’t end up where you want to. This second point is often what’s done with commitments like this because it’s easy, and planting diverse communities is difficult both in terms of physical labour, but also logistics. Some species need their seeds to be heat or cold scarified and that also takes time when you’re wanting an assload of seedlings right away.

Christ, humanity at its best.
Lol you’re getting downvoted for having a rational viewpoint and wanting something you care about and enjoy to be safe for other humans to enjoy it too.
How fucking dare you
I got changed into the huntress and then the rogue. It sticks for a long time.
I died on DM-300. Towards the end, the fully upgraded resin was too chaotic; +2 seems to be the sweet spot of it being useful and it being a pain in the ass.
Literally survived Tiberius, Caligula and Nero in the span of a few decades.
We should have gone nuclear, at least for the short term.
I fully support solar and wind but I don’t think it’s a one size fits all at this point. I think solar needs to get a lot more efficient and better to cover all the applications that oil and gas and coal do.
Even renewables need mining (sadly) which has significant impacts.
Amazing. You need to repost this as a meme here
I really wanted that fucking food
What if we constantly subsidized industries that made our climate unlivable?
Nuclear is a sound option. We already deal with mining wastes that must be managed in perpetuity. Nuclear waste isn’t much different in that regard.
Your point about landscapes also happens in mining.
I’m super interested in this class. I’m also very keen to see the subclasses
George Foreman better watch out
Oh hey it’s me: a shell of my former self and full of crap
I usually browse for memes at night as a way to decompress, and post the good ones here.
