1. This paper in Nature should spell an end to the nonsense spread by @AllanRSavory et al: that livestock grazing can cause a net removal of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. It shows that soil carbon cannot compensate for livestockās own emissions. https://t.co/1RpXKqeZ79 š§µ

Burning all Rosebankās oil and gas would create more CO2 than the combined annual emissions of all 28 low-income countries in the world. @RishiSunak this will be devastating for our planet [and your reputation on the global stage]. š #StopRosebank

Greta is like a mythic superhero. While still in her teens, she has changed the global conversation on climate, changed the global conversation on neurodiversity and taken out the world's most toxic misogynist. It's only a matter of time before Marvel makes the movie.
