Koalas crushed, starving as Kangaroo Island's blue gum plantations come down

"As the plantations come, down dislocated koalas are hurting recovering native vegetation."

"Wildlife workers and researchers say Kangaroo Island koalas displaced by the removal of controversial Tasmanian blue gum plantations are starving — and an urgent solution is required...We're seeing koalas starving and being displaced in large numbers and this is just not good enough. Mrs Welz said since November last year, her group had cared for numerous animals with crush injuries."

"What we … would love to see is a sacrificial plantation where healthy koalas can be put in to live out their natural lives," she said."

"Koalas are not indigenous to Kangaroo Island and were introduced in the 1920s...the island's vegetation had not fully recovered from the Black Summer bushfires, and as koalas displaced by the plantation shutdown moved into farmland and areas of roadside vegetation, over-browsing was occurring."

"The spokesperson said the department was aware of the potential impacts on remnant native vegetation as koalas were forced to move, but that it was not considering acquiring or leasing part of the remaining unburnt plantation as a refuge."

"The animals are being displaced as the island's timber plantations come down."

""Locals say a koala management plan is needed as displaced animals are destroying native plants."

All y'all trying to turn everyone away from direct air capture for carbon dioxide removal and #CarbonOffsets are climate science deniers and are part of the problem.

The CarbonCure technology injects CO2 into concrete during the mixing process. It acts as a direct feed admixture, adding no additional time to a producer’s batching sequence.

CO2, a waste by-product of several manufacturing processes that can be harvested, processed and put to beneficial reuse in concrete. https://www.carboncure.com/concrete-corner/installing-carboncure-its-quick-easy-and-seamless/

Action needed to make carbon offsets from forest conservation work for climate change mitigation

"We found that most projects have not significantly reduced deforestation. For projects that did, reductions were substantially lower than claimed."

Yep. #CarbonOffsets are pretty much a fraud. https://insideclimatenews.org/news/24082023/carbon-offsets-overestimatiing-impacts-cambridge-study/

I can't even...

You're chopping down trees to.. bury them? I don't... What?

I was over on that foul site and saw on people like @TimInHonolulu TL that they are begging people to fly to Maui in order to put money into their economy.

It is just plain climate science denialism to fly unless you are at the very least offsetting those carbon emissions. #CarbonOffsets

Word.

“Most climate neutrality claims are not based on actual emission reductions, but on the purchase of offsetting credits.”

“carbon offsetting markets act as a dangerous distraction from the crucial priority of reducing greenhouse emissions at source.”

This little-known federal regulator could crack down on fraudulent #carbonoffsets
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission is "uniquely situated" to stop #carbon market manipulation. The credits, bought and sold on unregulated markets that are expected to be worth up to $100 billion by 2030, have long drawn criticism for failing to deliver on their promised #emissions reductions. https://grist.org/regulation/this-little-known-federal-regulator-could-crack-down-on-fraudulent-carbon-offsets/

@timo21 @MichaelEMann @cleantechnica
I've offset myself to net-zero and I wish that more people would so that my children would have a better chance of inheriting a stable climate.

Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification of #CarbonOffsets and the new Democratic policies supporting direct air capture of carbon dioxide for #CCUS is a major and necessary #ClimateSolution regardless of Joe Romm's antagonism.

Carbon offsets and net zero are exercises in bullshit that distract from the actual work of reducing emissions.

“carbon offsets are just another in a never-ending chain of things designed to let fossil fuel companies keep adding unsustainable levels of carbon dioxide, methane, and other climate-killing emissions to the atmosphere while hiding behind a smokescreen of promises and perceived good intentions.”

#CarbonOffsets #NetZero #ClimateChange #greenwashing

«One of the first things Joe Romm did after he joined PCSSM was publish a research paper with this rather provocative title: “Carbon offsets are unscalable, unjust, and unfixable — and a threat to the Paris Agreement.” In it, Romm doesn’t pull any punches. He basically calls the whole idea of #carbonoffsets a scam designed to let #polluters pretend to be doing something about their #climate killing activities while actually doing nothing at all.»

A cautionary tale about attempting to sequester carbon in the biosphere.

"strong evidence that the wildfire component of California's forest carbon buffer pool has almost surely been depleted."
