Great piece by @herdyshepherd.bsky.social on the fallacy of using offsets to pay for nature restoration - even if they work (& there are good reasons to be doubtful), they could only offset what is being lost now, not recover what needs to be restored unherd.com/2025/02/labo...

Despite rain over the past fortnight(ish), we remain in a critical drought. I'm hoping for more rain soon and am always deeply grateful for the cloud cover, but worried about the water I must use to wash the eggs. Fortunately, the soil here sequesters a lot of water, which may help see us through.

As a South African, I can confirm that this is a load of absolute shit. A right wing South African group went to the US to tell Trump this, and he believed them and passed on the lie.

Totally missed this #SoilMicrobes are good at scavenging nutrients from the soil & helping plants to grow. A biological mechanism that makes plant roots more attractive to these soil microbes has been found in non-GM wheat & could lead to it being breed in other crops #ReducingFertiliserUse #agsky

A billion is stolen time—obscene hoarding of wealth that could end poverty, cure plagues, save the planet isn’t success—it’s violent theft. Money is power, stripped from collective dignity. Billionaires aren’t geniuses—they’re sickness, parasites gorging on stolen time. Abolish this cruelty. Wake up

Yes, the UK government SHOULD abandon its Carbon Capture and Storage scheme, which a. would cause a net increase in emissions b. is unlikely to work c. uses tens of billions that'd be much better spent on genuinely green projects. Let's hope it has seen sense. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Some people say, "Alongside rapid and drastic decarbonization, carbon dioxide removal (CDR) will be needed to meet climate goals." I say no! Unless we decarbonize drastically, CDR will be useless. So we say, "AFTER rapid and drastic decarbonization, CDR will be needed to meet climate goals."

"A weaker current may also allow more warm water to penetrate southwards, exacerbating the melting of Antarctic ice shelves and contributing to global sea-level rise. Faster ice melting could then lead to further weakening of the current, commencing a vicious spiral of current slowdown."

Many of the Trump administration's actions will kill millions of people worldwide in the coming years, including those related to weather, the environment, and climate. That's not hyperbole.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.
