Nitrous oxide is “not being talked about enough” compared to other agricultural emissions, experts say.
Growing ‘Continuous Corn’ Drives Emissions of a Powerful Greenhouse Gas. It Doesn’t Have To. - Inside Climate News
Corn monocropping emits higher levels of nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas which traps heat in the atmosphere more than 300 times as effectively as carbon dioxide. Simple interventions could drastically...

🚨 The world produces more food per person than ever before—yet 700 million people remain chronically undernourished.🌾🥣

#Hunger is about power, inequality, & broken systems.⚖️

So why are Nobel laureates calling for a ‘moonshot’ to boost food production?

A thread 🧵👇

Only politics can end world hunger - IPES-Food
"Hunger persists because we allow injustice to endure. Food isn’t scarce but many people can’t access it.” To give people access to food, we must confront power & inequality.

"It's because of the global impact of US assistance that any disruption of that support will have an immense cost."

Preventing Deaths During the 90-Day Assistance Freeze
US assistance has been at the forefront of the global fight against famine and pestilence worldwide. Any delay or disruption of that support will have an immense cost.

Nord Stream’s methane leak was worse than previously estimated.

A new UNEP study, published in @nature.com found that the explosion released up to 485,000 tonnes of methane—more than what 8 million cars would emit in a year. #CutMethane

The Australian government is still keeping very quiet about mass mortality of corals on the Great Barrier Reef due to record heat extremes in 2024.

On Lady Elliot Reef, for example, half of the corals died.

According to this official graph, the cause of the crash is a mystery.

Due to the impeccable timing of a delayed official press release, you probably haven’t heard that 40% of corals on the southern Great Barrier Reef died in 2024 due to record-breaking heat exposure.
