This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

"Evidence shows that when grazing is properly managed — such as avoiding soil tillage, excessive grazing intensity, and high nitrogen fertilizer inputs — grasslands can function as net carbon sinks, even after accounting formethane emissions from livestock."
"Evidence shows that when grazing is properly managed — such as avoiding soil tillage, excessive grazing intensity, and high nitrogen fertilizer inputs — grasslands can function as net carbon sinks, even after accounting formethane emissions from livestock."
Natural grasslands used for grazing livestock can mitigate climate change
Natural grasslands cover about 40% of the Earth’s land surface. Grassland plants have largely coevolved with wild grazing animals, making these ecosystems generally well-adapted to grazing livestock. ...

Attacks on Venezuela, Nigeria and Iran, genocide in Gaza, threats to Colombia, Canada, Mexico and Greenland. When will the world act? The US and Israel need to be sanctioned, boycotted and forced into compliance with international law.
It feels like they have tried to do an inverse of the 1920s/30s. This time around start with the Business Plot and provoke a World War, instead of Great Depression and New Deal. It won't work as nobody is going to be willing to fight in their crooked war.
Everything that is happening today is very similar to 1920s/30s and 1850s/60s.
