Iām starting to think fishing is bad for the oceans and sea life in it. If only there were readily available plants from which to get our protein, DHA, and omegas.

At Climate Week just about everything is labeled āregenerative,ā no matter who is behind it or what climate intensive product theyāre promoting. The beef industry is repping their products - food with the top climate footprint, loudly offering false solutions. insideclimatenews.org/news/2209202...
"In a hypothetical scenario in which everyone in the world went vegan by 2050, the regrowth of trees and wilderness could sequester around 547 billion tonnes of additional CO2." ourworldindata.org/carbon-oppor...
Along with countless chickens .... www.ffw.ch/en/projects/...
I mean, under the Paris Agreement, countries are required to reduce their own emissions, not those of other countries. Unfortunately, nobody ever said that they would phase out all sources of GHG emissions worldwide.
I don't think it's a good idea to sit in the sun during a heat wave.
I think the idea is that scope 3 emissions are the fault of those who burn the stuff, so not our problem.
The other part of the equation is not that, um, clean. youtu.be/AOg_evVzCSk
Until we end fishing, we are just playing around at the edges. end-of-fishing.org/en/
Ok but if we are boycotting all things US, what is there left to sanction?
Time to provincialize all those companies.

Using airships, we could build research stations and military bases with ease, patrol the Arctic Ocean and rescue whole communities in the event of wildfires, writes @crof.bsky.social.
'they "do not, and have never, supported Hamas or Hezbollah", condemned all attacks on civilians, and alleged footage was "deliberately taken out of all context" as part of a "coordinated smear campaign" over their criticism of "the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people".'
I would ask them to hold the conference in a different country because boycotting the US is the right thing to do.
It is hard to understand our lunch choices as well! www.nature.com/articles/s43...
I did not vote for @wgreaves.bsky.social and do not support his action or excuses. It assumes a motive for the crime that has not been proven. It legitimizes a racist and fascist view of the world.

Make measles great again
I am biased but I donāt think there is a better website on the internet today than TheOnion.com.
Hey Hoekstra, as a Canadian with Frisian background. Fuck Off.
Got my free MMR vaccine at my local pharmacy a couple of weeks ago. Everyone should do the same.
Look at this graph we discussed in my Danish class today. š 63% of Danes believe (or believed in 2022) that we must change our lifestyles to resolve the climate crisis. Only 11% believe technology is the solution. Both men and women largely agree in this regard. This is remarkable! 1/2
Why is this even a question? It is rather obvious that we should not be buying military hardware from a fascist state.
Let's fix it. end-of-fishing.org/en/
Itās not offshore wind thatās killing whales.
aka manure
It's not just that people like meat. Meat & dairy are heavily promoted by governments, schools, and development agencies. So part of the solution is to lobby them to change that. Another solution is to changes in choice architecture via the types of restaurants in our towns.
I'm not trying to show virtue.
Yeah but cutting all fossil fuels within a few months, or even a few years would result in most industry shutdown, most buildings without heat, most foods unable to be transported to the cities. Cutting meat and dairy can be achieved within a couple of years without causing a major crisis.
"When it comes to civilizationās appetite for eating the earth, the problem isnāt that we donāt know what to do; itās that we havenāt done it."
In "We Are Eating the Earth," Michael Grunwald focuses on the overlooked fact that producing calories for eight billion mouths is the ultimate wicked problem of climate change. Don't miss @jasondovemark.bsky.social's review! @mikegrunwald.bsky.social

Peruvian, mesoamerican, no contest
Peruvian, of course. Mesoamerican is great as well.
I've received many messages from concerned constituents over the past 24 hours, asking me about the standing ovation connected to Charlie Kirk in yesterday's session in the House of Commons. Please see my statement on the matter.
We could widen the path substantially by picking up a few new dinner recipes. ourworldindata.org/carbon-oppor...
There. Is. No. Such. Thing. Cattle ranching is among the most destructive of all the world's industries. "Regenerative" cattle ranching is simply greenwash.
āYou do not become a hero in your death when you were a weapon of the enemy in your lifeā A more righteous statement I canāt imagine. You can abhor how Charlie Kirk died, but to hell with anyone who venerates him or whitewashes his legacy
Worldwide, 14% of GHG emissions are from the transport sector. The largest sectors are electricity generation, food & land use, and industry. globalecoguy.org/the-three-mo...

Well, the planet could support 10 billion humans, just not if we continue to insist on our cheeseburgers. ourworldindata.org/land-use-diets
That is the claim, but nobody has shown the data to support it.
Beef production is a major driver of climate change. It fuels deforestation in crucial biomes, a significant source of carbon emissions, and cows themselves produce methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Some conservation groups say a pivot away from beef is the only sustainable option.
Someone like @gregorrobertson.bsky.social perhaps?
Sea Shepard is one of the few environmental organizations that recognizes the primary cause of these threats. They serve only vegan food on their ships.
The Major Project we voted for seems to be missing from the list. bsky.app/profile/mark...

What percentage of land in the DRC is set aside for livestock?
Steinbach, the automobile city, you reap what you sow.
LNG Canada Phase 2 is the largest project in Carney's first batch of major projects and would double export capacity at the site. I'd bet Ottawa forks over some cash to make it happen ā Carney suggested the Major Projects Office would consider that. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/09/11/n...
Gluten-free: A good example of a science-free trend created by pop culture & wellness industry. Key for celiacs, etc. But NOT a "wellness hack." "Unless you have celiac disease, there are few health benefits to a gluten-free diet" And possible harms www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-...
PS: It is nice to see David Eby concerned about animal welfare. Next step is to take it to its logical conclusion and shutdown the slaughterhouses. Being slaughtered is not good for ones welfare.
Meat and dairy are not essential in the human diet.
My guess is that they are a jilted lover.
If we just leave it all in the ground there will be zero production emissions and nobody will burn it. #Win #Win PS: The climate does not care one iota who burns it. Just that nobody does.
And the workers children will reap the fucked up climate. Thanks dad!
Also one is beginning to understand why GFANZ failed ...
My first take on that was that he pulled the wool over Danielle Smith's eyes in that it implied a cap on oil production emissions without calling it that. But of course all oil produced will be burned, so the production emissions cap thing was green-washing from the beginning.
I'm 64 years old and I have always seen the USA as a "place of particular darkness".
Help I'm in prison! How do I get out of this place? Where's the door?
Probably a lovers spat.
Carpenters build wood frame LNG infrastructure?
The major project promised during the election and that we voted for was Build Canada Homes. 5 months later, no shovels have hit the ground, no announcements have been made. no move-in date has been set for the first 250,000 units.
Apparently it made the list. bsky.app/profile/tara...
This has implications for human mental health. I mean, it's fun to joke about humanizing your romba, but if you really do, seek professional help.
Hello Canada! Remember that other countries can sue us for our greenhouse gas emissions ā past & present. But instead weāre spreading the costs to all Canadians and privatizing the profits to. www.bbc.com/news/article...
That's quite the devastated landscape in the photo!

They can also be attributed to Burger King, as meat and dairy are also major drivers of climate change.
So if the claim that carbon storage is effective is false it automatically means that the claim that shifting diets away from meat and dairy significantly mitigates climate change is also false? I think there is a logical fallacy there.
The numbers I have seen are around 25% of total GHG emissions. That is not marginal to climate change.
The IPCC says that it is an effective mitigation strategy as well. www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/w... > TS.5.8 Demand-side Aspects of Mitigation
I didn't mean to imply that ending fossil fuels is not needed as well.
Is shifting diets still a viable solution? www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Personally, I don't want to risk being shipped to a prison camp in some far-away land. Also boycotting fascist states is the right thing to do.
Is it not true that the biggest driver of natural habitat loss in the country is due to clearing land for livestock?
One option is to not eat the fish. end-of-fishing.org/en/
Glad I went and got my MMR shot a month ago! Everyone should do the same, it's free at your local pharmacy.
Poor things :-(
How do we know the Huanan market was the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic? Through some pretty amazing detective work. Read the inside story, and how the scientists who figured it out were subsequently smeared by a concerted media assault because their research destroyed the lab leak myth.
I invite you to debate the author of that article on that.
" ... direct emissions from food, agriculture, and land use release around 22% of the worldās greenhouse gases ... " drawdown.org/insights/fix...
The thing about that Oxfam report is that it is counting the investments of the rich. But if we redistribute their shares in oil and meat and dairy to the worlds poor, emissions will not go down. It's not as if the JBS brothers are eating all those steaks themselves.
We have the solutions. We just need to use them.
It's a vitamin, not a drug.
That is the theory, but I recall seeing studies showing that it doesn't really work that way in real life.
Fear of drowning is actually pretty healthy. Cut the chain.
It should also be mentioned that they are an excellent source of dietary protein!
One of my staples is a quick lentil soup. Lentils, carrots, olive oil, herbs and salt. Very yummy, I serve it with some good bread and nice glass of red wine. PS: When I lived in Peru, Canadian lentils were on offer at every public market. "Lunes lentajes" is a big thing there.
