#REDD+ was created by #UnitedNations Framework Convention on #ClimateChange (#UNFCCC) to guide #forest sector practices to #ReduceEmissions from forest degradation & implement sustainable forest activities. 
#Indigenous communities in #Amazon, esp. in #Peru & #Columbia are being #manipulated into signing their land over to Western companies, as the latter seek to secure deals in these areas for offsetting projects, making them #carbon #pirates.

Hey everyone! We've got a new blog post on "Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Simple Solutions for Everyday Use" at https://theecofriendlylife.com/reducing-greenhouse-gas-emissions-simple-solutions-for-everyday-use/. This article is packed with easy-to-implement tips and tricks that can help you reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a healthier environment. Let's work together towards a sustainable future! 🌍💚 #climatechange #sustainability #greenliving #reduceemissions

@JohanEmpa I know you are a keen advocate of #carbonremoval, but I beg you walk the fine line between doing your best with what is available (aka #greenserver, #treeplanting) and promoting the belief that buying #greencredits or paying into #carbonoffsets will actually REMOVE carbon from the atmosphere. It wont'. #Additionality is barely alive, in fact I'd argue it's long dead. #reduceemissions first, aka #stopflying.

Message for new CEO #Shell: do not appeal judgment #reduceemissions , #stopgreenwashing #keepitintheground

‘Holy grail’ wheat gene discovery could feed our overheated world https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jan/07/holy-grail-wheat-gene-discovery-could-feed-our-overheated-world?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

This article is interesting as a wheat grower, farmer, and scared human due to #ClimateChange. I can see the rationale for the research (however the headline needs some qualification as explained very well by https://academic.oup.com/plphys/article/154/2/526/6111520) as there's a very good chance we’ll need the thinking behind it, but as a farmer I know the current limiting factor for any ag production is water, so doesn’t matter how good the heat tolerance is - all things need water to grow.

The article mentions drought tolerance and that would be a great tool in any wheat variety but, again, production is a factor of water availability - less water less production. So for me the ‘holy grail’ is the old maxim “when you find yourself in a hole first thing is to stop digging” - #reduceemissions - this research is a great back up plan but collectively we haven’t truly committed to the main plan to #removeemissions.

Given the inertia in the climate system even #netzero will not be enough and to keep a stable and secure food production system we will need to #removeatmosphericCO2 - and that takes decades/centuries! 1/2

The November 2022 #GlobalClimateReport has been issued, and can be found at

This image, taken from the report pretty much says it all. We must #ReduceEmissions.
