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

The US lost 80% of all bees in only 8 MONTHS. Also impressive?

Millions of bees have died this year. It's "the worst bee loss in recorded history," one beekeeper says.
Bees play a key role in the U.S. food supply, and the mass deaths could jeopardize that.

The loud silence surprises even me.
There was a lonely and ignored Guardian article. Now the BBC had a single article as well.
I am surprised that people don't want to know "why". Nobody is asking any questions. All very sane.

Less than 2% of land mammal biomass is wildlife. That's bad. When we lose 63% of insect biomass, the stuff on the right below, in only 3 years, 2021-2024, it's really bad. Worst case bad.

"I haven’t seen any models indicating the carbon cycle is at risk of ending"
Not sure what you mean. It's not about ending but about changing too fast to adapt. We should not trust models anymore given that they are all too optimistic. We should look at real-world data. I recommend the video above.

Amazon rainforest now emitting more CO2 than it absorbs
Cutting emissions more urgent than ever, say scientists, with forest producing more than a billion tonnes of carbon dioxide a year

Rice is only an issue if grown wet. It shouldn't be. Even if grown wet, it's marginal compared to cow or shrimp.

Burning fossil fuels actually bought us time to end cow and deforestation. Burning FFs is like smoking and risks vital organ damage in the future. Deforestation due to meat is like cutting out our last vital organs (CO2 & water pump) today. There will be no "oops, we passed 1.5°C moment".

We cannot rewild without ending cow first

We cannot rewild without ending cow first
Background: Cow takes up the most land, wildlife habitat destruction and deforestation. We have 4 times more cow biomass today than ALL mammalian biomass was 10,000 years ago. 2X more cow than ALL mammalian biomass was 100 years ago.
