“carbon is being emitted because trees are dying and decaying faster than they can be replaced”

When will we stop listening to fossil fuel lobbyists, and do everything possible to save life on earth?

David Ho @davidho.bsky.social · 20h

The wet tropical rainforests of Queensland are now a carbon source because CO₂ emitted from trees dying and decaying outstripped the CO₂ taken up by trees growing. 😕

Australia's tropical trees emit more carbon than they absorb: study

Climate change is killing trees faster than they can be replaced leading to greater carbon emissions, according to a new study.

Of all the stupid things they’ve said, this is the stupidest. And the most dangerous.

RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy, it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism.

Lemsip as well, perhaps?

This is.... not good www.newscientist.com/article/2500...

Particularly because scientists increasingly suspect that the planet is locked in a vicious feedback loop, where climate impacts like drought & marine heatwaves are dampening the planet's natural ability to take up carbon

CO2 levels in Earth's atmosphere jumped by a record amount in 2024

The global average concentration of CO2 surged by 3.5 parts per million to reach 423.9 ppm last year, fuelling worries that the planet’s ability to soak up excess carbon is weakening

I just looked them up, and “ooh, shouty” was my conclusion. Too shouty for me, but they must be fab live, if you like them!

Yes, that too! Fine for people who are healthy, but chronic illness? Tough sh*te!

Dr Caz 🌳🔶🇪🇺 🇺🇦 @drcj.bsky.social · 1d

Exactly this.

Health insurance in uk is relatively cheap at the moment, because it has to be to entice customers.

If we had limited or no NHS prices would go sky high

If you ever wondered what privatised healthcare for yourself would be like, look at the vet market and multiply it by 10.

“The Brexit championed fully by the Daily Telegraph threatens school trips to France”
Might be a better way of putting it

Astonishing. And so unfair.

I wonder if menopausal women have been considered in this? We might have to give back our citizenship too.

Because Farage never, ever gets held to account for Brexit by any of the media they consume?

Imagine, instead of blaming immigrants for everything that’s got worse, the media blamed Farage and Brexit

Dr Caz 🌳🔶🇪🇺 🇺🇦 @drcj.bsky.social · 3d

Not quite the threat they think it is, I suspect?

Gambling industry holding UK govt to ransom.

William Hill joins Ladbrokes and Coral to warn Chancellor - increase tax and we will shut shops.

Happy to dodge taxes; not bear cost of harms inflicted on gambling addicts and their families.

Who governs - govts or corporations?

William Hill owner says it could shut shops if Reeves raises gambling taxes

Evoke considering the plans before expected tax increases in budget, with up to 1,500 jobs potentially affected
