Emissions, fossils fuels & deforestation are symptoms - not causes like cows & cars. That we discuss & treat symptoms only is a feature and not a bug. We don't want to change.
Mitigation & adaptation are the same:
- plant based
- local
- low tech

Nature has not evolved brains that can process such rapid changes since what we see since 1970 is unique and unchartered. Not in 600 (not 60) million years has anything come close to the speed of change. Human children now grow up slower than nature collapses globally.

It's mainly ze meat & dairy.
Meat & dairy is half of all climate forcing.
Meat & dairy is is the reason we have yield pressure aka most deforestation and most toxins on Earth.

By now we have more dog & cat biomass than wild mammalian biomass on land? The data below is from 2014. Since 2015 we have added 800 million more humans who eat 10% more meat aka wildlife habitat.
This is unique in Earth's history. Never has biomassed collapsed so fast before species loss.

Sabine goes after climate activists who years ago screamed “now or never”. Activists are the problem, Sabine continues, because they never believed in emission free fossil fuels.
People like Sabine talk like movie critics. This IS part of the cause behind collapse. White Rose never stood a chance?

It's hard to see when we zoom out. What we experience today is not a hockey stick in ecological terms but a vertical line. The speed of change was never so fast as it is today. What bothered the 🦕 after the asteroid/volcanoes 66M years ago or even 250M ago was a 🐢 in comparison to today's 🏎️

Over the past 600 million years - since multi-celled organism first evolved - life on Earth has never deteriorated as fast as it does today.
Humans children now grow up and develop slower than their food sources are collapsing. Never before was any type of adaptation less likely than today.

The worst debt in the history of multi-celled life, 600 million years in the making, is today. Right now.
The data for the chart below is from 2008-2018. Since then, we have accelerated and are now losing 2/3s of insect biomass per decade. Also in nature reserves.

Hi Paul. The chart is from 2019. The data for 2008-2018.
What we see since then is not something our brains have evolved to process. Human children develop slower than nature collapses around them.

Since you mention producers like plants and the largest consumer fungi...
I fear that trees are functionally extinct. They grow too slowly to sexually adapt to changing climates. Still standing but ghosts in a shell. Most old-growth is gone and most trees are sick and not coming back in the time.

We should be net zero today. The 2C carbon budget is zero given past and current emissions. We added 800 million new humans since Paris who eat 10% more meat/person aka more old-growth deforestation than ever (records). 900 million new cars since 2015. Less than 10% EVs.

Sabine & Ed have millions of fans. Would they'd claim that CO2 & fossil fuels do NOT cause heating? They do so re ecology. Both distort biology science 180°.
When biomass declines faster & before species loss - it's the absolute ecological worst case. UK just 63% of insect biomass in 3 years #Gates

The only genuine primary #forest that is left in Austria is private property and belonged to the Rothschild family until recently.
An ancient legal dispute between royal families prevented "using" it.
4 km2 (400 ha) of untouched nature isn't much for a country the size of 83,871 km2. 0.05%

Our definition of old-growth is too flexible imo.
Where I live in Austria we have 3% old-growth left, but given how many mountains there are, this isn't great. Anything that hasn't been managed for more than 5 years can be called old growth.
Genuinely 'untouched' forest maybe 4-8 km2 (400-800 ha)
