Wolves didn’t “fix” Yellowstone because ecosystems aren’t machines. Elk, beavers, bison, drought, trails… everything interacts.
What remains consistent? Human impacts still drown out ecology. Yellowstone exposes the myth of ecosystem resilience.

Reintroduced Carnivores’ Impacts on Ecosystems Are Still Coming Into Focus - Inside Climate News
Yellowstone has long been a mecca for scientists studying how predators affect everything from elk grazing to vegetation height. They are still debating how to make sense of what they’ve learned.

“Hell Is Here.”
Hundreds of thousands of species are already gone.
Millions more are in the extinction pipeline.
Sophia Pineda Ochoa’s new documentary “Greenwashed” exposes that truth with rare honesty.

The biodiversity aka Life-On-Earth collapse wave will hit us sooner and deadlier than expected™️ It will hit us together with the smaller climate change wave.

There will be no 1.5°C to pass because we never dared to define a benchmark other than 0% aka extinction. There is no extinction overshoot.

Of course they celebrated—their business model depends on polluting our water.

I've been making the media rounds this week.

Today in my local paper, I'm urging Illinois policy makers (who should know better!) not to repeat the ethanol disaster—one of the worst land use and natural resource policies in American history—but this time for jet fuel.
My Turn | Illinois agriculture should aim higher than jet fuel
"The governor is right that Illinois agriculture is in crisis. But the solution will not come from chasing another biofuel boom. It will come from using our extraordinary soils to

Now here is a great idea: Instead of Black Friday consumption, "let’s mark the post-Thanksgiving date as Extinction Friday" ~ don't consume, as an act of recognition of the impacts consumption has on the world and all beings on it. therevelator.org/extinction-f...

The annual Black Friday ode to overconsumption sits at the core of our destruction of Earth’s ecosystems. We can flip the script.
