Some of our recent research at @BC3Research & @GCCGtweet is shedding light on the role of livestock and herbivores in global change, and I think it is worth organizing it in a thread of threads for whoever visits my profile. I will be adding new papers in the future.

@NationAfrica The science it is based on to say that livestock and wild migratory herbivores trigger very similar emissions in East African sabanas is explained in this thread:

📢 It's out! The paper by @AgusBC3@gpardoBC3 and me (@BC3Research & @GCCGtweet) at #npjClimAtmosSci@Nature_NPJ on emissions in two savannas in northern Tanzania, one dominated by wild herbivores and the other dominated by ruminant livestock.

Why does it seem so difficult to disentangle whether grazing is good or bad for biodiversity and ecosystem function?

In this blog post for the project REPAiR, and in the context of #IYRP, I explain cultural and ecological issues that add complexity.
Once again, global warming means warmer weather is statistically more likely. It doesn’t mean cold weather won’t happen again (though it will be less likely); it doesn’t mean there hasn’t been extreme warmth before… not that complicated!

@JuanPascual4@_ClimateCraze John, you are building a straw man. Greenhouse effect heats the atmosphere ca. 33°C, which is fine for otherwise we would have a snowball Earth. Anthropogenic GH effect is on the way of heating atmosphere 2° and this is dangerous for our civilization.
@TyBealPhD ... conspiracies, the debate should be about reforming an unpaid peer review system that is on the verge of collapse while publishers make loads of money.
Sorry for my long reflections. Thanks for sharing, Ty.
@TyBealPhD ...fund studies on how sustainable grazing promotes biodiversity. And I have observed obvious biases in papers I have reviewed from them. Biases are everywhere, but that's what peer review and careful selection of journal reviewers are for. Instead of discussing potential...
