Emissions, fossils fuels & deforestation are symptoms - not causes like overpopulation, cows & cars. That we discuss symptoms only is a feature and not a bug.
Mitigation & adaptation are the same:
- Birth control
- Plant based
- Local
- Low tech

UPDATE: The likelihood that humans will go extinct by 2100 is 80%.
"Under current trends, we hit 3°C within 25 years - meaning that avoiding extinction, not just collapse, would require population and consumption reduction beginning immediately, not post-2050"

We add 800m new humans net every 10 years and plan to grow by 1.7bn in 25 years. 9.5 by 2050. Every new person needs 1000-4000m2 of land for food.
Hunters kill the large & strong animals and weaken wildlife DNA. Logging in old growth forests goes for the oldest trees first. Pasture doesn't care.

Animal Ag uses 80% of all farm land but produces only 20% of calories. Mainly for richer people.
What if eating animals caused as much #climate change as fossil fuels and we still invested four times more into fHarming animals than growing plants?

I’m not sure why anybody focuses on population reduction when emissions are in no way commencement with population, they are entirely commencement with wealth.
Unless you’re talking about reducing the number of billionaires, you’re just being genocidal

The term #adaptation gardening makes scientific sense as that's what natural selection is. But I feel it's much more than that. It's not a "reaction to change", it's what life is and how life works. Incest / inbred #Gardening is anti-life and anti-science. It can only weaken & destroy life on Earth.

It's a bit rich to allow spraying antibiotics like glyphosate all over the land for another 10 years - then complain about resistance issues? 3 kg of antibiotics per ha is a lot and too much. We should ban all antibiotics use for food.

This famous "Uncharted" paper speaks about 6 billion deaths by 2100 but it didn't assume 3°C by 2050. It was "more optimistic".

What is #TunaTuesday?
Tuna is an apex predator of the oceans and eats cats of the sea. Feeding apex predators to house cats is one of the most insane things one can do. Why not feed them tigers? Keeping meat eating pets is also not very sane, now that we are in #overshoot.

The best things in life can be free. Like #food. Buy some supermarket 🦪 oyster #mushrooms to start growing them without work or costs forever in your own garden. Growing in nature means NO need to sterilize since outdoor conditions are not as prone to contamination as indoor methods.
