Advancing solutions to slow and reverse tropical deforestation. “Love is a doing word.”

@tomkimmerer My neighbor’s pawpaw was animal pollinated last weekend. By me and a toothbrush and a bowl of pollen from a tree a few blocks away.
Bzzzzzzz….

“What right do we have to hand over a less livable world to our children than the planet that we are born on,” asks PIK Director @jrockstrom in this @TIME interview. #EarthDay2023 #healthyplanet #climatechange

This striking graphic from the IPCC Synthesis Report shows the agriculture sector is the most under-invested for climate action.

Fig 4.6 shows annual flows to AFOLU would have to be between x10 to x31 times higher to meet the average annual needs.

“The worst day I’ve ever had as a trans person is still better than the best days I had pre-transition…. Not living authentically was terrible, and I would rather live authentically than hide a version of myself to appease people I don’t even know.” https://t.co/pQSHFUZXKT

Today's #IPCC report confirms humanity is on track to blow past 1.5°C of planetary warming by the early 2030s. There is certainly cause for deep concern.

But there are also reasons for hope. A bright future awaits if we’re willing to build it. @TIME >> https://t.co/Y0vKiEaHPi

In some parts of the world, it’s not just climate change that’s causing dangerously high heat.

Local deforestation in the tropics can lead to an average increase of 4.4°C warming in daily high temperatures, on top of emissions-driven warming: https://t.co/LPYs8wIg9q

[Luciana Téllez @lucianatellez]

The more rainforests are cleared in tropical countries, the less local farmers will be able to depend on rain for their crops and pastures. A clear warning for industrial agriculture that continuing business as usual is suicidal.

So many smart ideas in this @Newsweek op-ed from @ClimateAdvisers CEO @Climate_Intel re the Biden-Lula summit. Includes this: "Investments in... plant-based and cultivated meat would create jobs, and reduce emissions as well." Entire piece is a must-read: https://t.co/Y8yo95H6eS

"Foraging as a Black person is an act of rebellion."

@BlackForager explains the complicated history of how Black Americans have historically been excluded from the foraging space – and how she’s trying to change that.

@jnoisecat I respect the primary process.

1/ Thank you @POTUS. I couldn't be happier to hear #Care as major unfinished business -- and priorities for the year(s) ahead. Good for the economy. Good for families. We can't afford inaction.
