[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

Robert F. Kennedy Jr:

"And by the way, the best thing that you can do for climate is to restore the soils. The soils are the solution to everything. The soil will absorb all that carbon. And it'll absorb the water, it'll stop the flooding, it'll give us healthy food.
And that's what our national policy has to be. It has to be restoring the soil.

And the other thing that they're funding, hundreds of billions of dollars, this is what climate has turned into, is these climate capture pipelines and are wreaking havoc with the agricultural lands across the Midwest, stealing people's property rights with eminent domain.

And who's making the money? BlackRock, and it's a useless technology that does not work. It's just all a boondoggle.

And that's what's become the environmental movement in this country. And if you depart from that orthodoxy, you're expelled from it. If you, if you want to make Americans fight each other, talk about carbon. If you want to bring Americans together, talk about habits, have protection."

“But maybe the most ridiculous way that we use corn is ethanol,”

Oliver recommended... making federal farm subsidies contingent on things like preserving topsoil, controlling runoff and slashing greenhouse gas emissions. https://t.co/VA7xaOshIv

This has got to be one of the dumbest articles ever in the ⁦@nytimes⁩. The depths of its ahistorical — and hysterical— depiction of a lifelong peaceful activist is pure absurdism. She used a profanity! She gets paid to teach organizing! She travels! https://t.co/ooEnTCsu0Q

Stumbled upon this sign while hiking Smugglers’ Notch yesterday. Perfectly — and tragically— summarizes #VT’s commitment to water quality. #vtpoli

"Part of the problem, some experts said, is that the U.S.D.A. has long been in the position of both regulating and promoting the business of agriculture."

Best management practices aren’t working to stem farm pollution. The US spent more than $30 billion since 1997 on efforts to clean up the Mississippi Basin, but in 2023 EPA said “Attempts to address nutrients are complex, difficult, and often costly.” https://t.co/3lONO1uDWA

[Jonesingforthetruth @RiverRaccoon]

All of these stories of failure to make progress on nitrate pollution boil down to one thing: prioritizing farmer and industry preferences over human and ecological health. https://t.co/EoWFeRdEqP
