Plastic eating bacteria and such have been in the news for decades? Fusion energy too. But let's do the math, cause it may be fun to do? How many worms do we need to so they can eat 10 billion tons of plastic? How long may this take? Do you know some relevant numbers that can help us do the math?
We are > SSP5-8.5 today according to NASA/NOAA data.
Daraufhin habe ich selber eingegriffen. Vorher nur rationalisiert. Auf dem Weg zum Arzt ist die verletzte KrƤhe verstorben. Es war FrĆ¼hling. Da kƶnnen KrƤhen Familien neue KrƤhen nicht dulden. Vielleicht war die verstorbene KrƤhe auch ein Aš³ļø Ich kannte sie nicht. Die Amsel werde ich nie vergessen.
Ich konnte beobachten, wie eine Amsel eine verletzte KrƤhe vor den Angriffen zwei anderer KrƤhen beschĆ¼tzt hat. Sie war natĆ¼rlich kleiner, als die KrƤhen. Sie hat sich zwischen der am RĆ¼cken liegenden KrƤhe und den Angreifern gestellt und laut zu schreien begonnen. 1/2
Gavin is NOT blocking me (yet). Hold my šŗ Hi @climateofgavin.bsky.social Do NASA/NOAA data sets for 2025 put us above or below SSP5-8.5? - Forcing (W/m2) - Temperatures (Ā°C) - PPM (CO2) - Seal level rise - Ozone
Why is life becoming exponentially riskier by the hour? What is #bioaccumulation and #biomagnification? š§µ "EPA estimates that more than 90% of typical human exposure is through the intake of meat and animal fats, dairy products, fish, and shellfish." www.epa.gov/dioxin

Nothing in history compares to the life-long torture, fear and pain that most livestock animals have to endure. Again, 97% of egg laying hens have to live with broken bones. Also organic. The few wild animals left have won the jackpot of life compared to our #food animals.

How do you feel about water filters that can filter #microplastics but are made from #plastic? Hint: It's like adding more #solar without first reducing energy consumption. It's our certain end.

Invasive species taking over native lands and replacing native wild birds permanently is the definition of invasive.

Chickens, an invasive species outside of India, use 2,5X more land habitat than all wild birds do without providing any ecosystem services. Chickens only destroy ecosystems and wildlife habitats.

When was the last time you saw something decrease š or increase š by 63% in just 3 years? The UK lost 63% of ALL flying insect biomass in just 3 years. From 2021-2024. www.theguardian.com/environment/... Again: 63% of the stuff on the right vanished in the last 3 years in the UK.
Are you under the misapprehension that land size is growing together with our populations? It really is not. The Earth is really not flat. Economist make the same false assumption but we don't have to?
Where is the disconnect? We are in ecological debt since the 70s. Only 30% of birds are wildlife. 70% are chickens (a singel species from India). Do you think that somehow land is growing on Earth? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecologi...
This means that #biomagnification too gets worse each year. This means that eating livestock or fish or anything with flesh, gets more dangerous exponentially now. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomagn...
Put another way. For every chicken you see - there is one wild bird LESS.
Why should we waste most of the land of of the calories for nothing and destroy beautiful nature and wildlife? What do you think that David Attenborough, Jane Goodall and others have in mind? There is delicious plant based food and it's usually much healthier than animals too.
How do you mean? The Earth is not flat. Ergo.
Put another way. For every chicken you see - there is one wild bird LESS.
Latest? We have been at it for ages? Random example below.
Only 30% of all birds are wildlife because 70% of all birds are chickens. (You show CO2 and not land use per 1000 cal btw. I was talking habitats.) The only reason why chicken (40-50% wildlife habitat loss) seems 'ok' to you is because beef is worse (96% loss). That's a very bad argument imo.

It applies to birds too. The Red Junglefowl (aka chickens) are an invasive species from India and have displaced MOST native birds worldwide. Chickens waste 40-50% of all energy aka destroyed wildlife habitat land (for feed). Gas. Coal. Oil. All bad. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
Lorenz explained why humans can be so immensely stupid despite or because of big brains. Lorenz explained that humans use almost no rationality when taking decisions, in contrast to other animals en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konrad_... We should be net zero today. #Solar booming in #China misses the point

We cannot end capitalism without ending live stock markets first. The ownership and abuse of beings who feel and think like we do is the root of capitalism, entitlement, hierarchy and inequality.

Great. In this case, visiting the toilette should be a short and pleasant affaire and offer no time to read? Mind you, if you have a broken gut, treat it like a broken leg. Don't go running and don't start adding too much fiber at once. Take it step by step and slow.
Livestock is by far the biggest threat to #biodiversity. By far. Every livestock animal takes away wildlife habitats since the land size is limited on Earth. Livestock is by far the main reason for ongoing deforestation.
If you have time to read on the toilette it means that you have severe health issues and a bad diet. Imho. Chances are that you belong to the 95-98% of Americans that are fiber deficienct and do not even get the tiny RDA. It's hard to get enough fiber when we eat animals (zero fiber of life).
I saw a study recently that denies all NASA and NOAA data and ignores that we are above > SSP5-8.5 today re W/m2, Ā°C, ppm, seal level rise and ozone. Where do we go from here? My advice: Do not trust climate scientists. Trust real world NASA & NOAA data instead.
Question, is illegal hunting worse than legal torture and killings? 97% of egg laying hens have to live with broken bones most of their lives but without painkillers. Also organic. Egg laying hens die 3/4 earlier than their natural life span in the wild. www.luzernerzeitung.ch/wirtschaft/n...
We have come to a point where we cannot treat symptoms only without making it worse. We cannot mask and and vaccinate ourselves out of ignoring causes anymore without making it worse. We have left the age of change behind and are entering the realm of consequences. #OneHealth or no health at all.

Some basics: More efficiency is NOT reduction. Producing more at 81% fossile energy does NOT reduce fossil energy. We cannot reduce without reducing. ā¦ The IPCC calls the above points āunrealisticā? Where do we go from here? Climate denial is one thing. But mathematics denial?

šš¼āāļø Itās not that the theory is bad, itās just that it misses the point. We need less consumption BEFORE we discuss more solar (production). Since we utterly ignore less consumption, more solar becomes an intellectual insult to those with basic math skills?

If you think that inbreeding, incest, self pollination and cloning (GMO) are acceptable breeding practices, you probably support seed banks. If you believe that only natural selection and open crosss pollination is natureās way to adapt to changing climates, you want to see seeds adapt constantly.

The thing is that many toxins, now also PFSAs and microplastics, do not biodegrade but bioaccumulate. We have more of them each year, not less. #Bioaccumulation en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioaccu...

It's all in the ads.
Methane is 86 times more potent in the short run than CO2. Both reach peak impact after 10-15 years. Methane (cows, shrimp aka wetlands, fossil fuels) should be our low hanging fruits to buy more time (to reduce CO2) but instead, CH4 keeps going up. We trade aka hide it more.

Why is everything getting worse faster? Because we never ever talk about ālessā consumption. We always talk about āmoreā production. This is how we go extinct.

Haha. Adding cat photos to every post increases reach (quantity). But it decreases quality and normalizes ecocide. Cats, cows, children, chemicals and cars are our biggest ecological challenges today. We should not normalize genocide & ecocide imo for more reach.
Me too. Iām on some doomer lists I assume that get blocked automatically. Otherwise I kept asking scientists where we stand re NASA/NOAA data in comparison to SSPs and they all hated and avoided that question. I donāt know any scientists who compares real data to SSPs. What is going on?
