From @NYTOpinion: "The only way to stop this planet from overheating is through political, economic, technological and social solutions that end the use of fossil fuels," say Erle C. Ellis, Mark Maslin and Simon Lewis. "Planting trees can't do that." nyti.ms/2whLAVV

Opinion | Planting Trees Won’t Save the World (Published 2020)

Focusing on trees as the big solution to climate change is a dangerous diversion.

Phasing in next year, UK farm subsidies will be tied to the production of 'public goods' on agricultural land, meaning not food production but pollinator habitat, pollution prevention, C sequestration. Stokstad 2020 Science 367:348-9. @SFSI_UM #sustainability #food

Congrats to PhD student Bridget Shayka in the @AllgeierLab for her seminar, proposal, and advancing to candidacy last week to study C sequestration in #seagrass beds

#AGU2019 plenary: geoscientists giving lightning talks on science that "Inspire the future for the benefit of humanity." Climate, water supply, public health, #SDGs
We can all do more if we really care about the world & climate we’re leaving for future generations. Activism is key, as is engaging in politics and the private sector. Change will be too slow if we don’t embrace all three. We need everyone’s help. dw.com/en/meet-the-scientist…

The EPA's determination that it "categorically" can't regulate groundwater under the Clean Water Act is entitled to deference despite "opening a gaping regulatory loophole." benvgo.com/omIUkTH
