Monoculture tree plantations are *not* forests. They do not harbor biodiversity, and they are far more susceptible to drought, fire, and pest infestation than are actual, natural forests. 


So when advocates for “Green Growth” promise we can keep the economy going by planting trees to capture carbon and maintain a healthy biosphere, do not believe them. It’s a lie. It’s a perpetuation of Business As Usual.

The best way of using trees to capture carbon is — don’t cut down forests!!

And the best way to reduce carbon in the atmosphere is — stop burning fossil fuels!!

The new CO2 reconstruction for the last 65 Million years has put me in a sharing mood:
#NASA GISS E2.1-G (IPCC6 version) simulations for this range of CO2 values.
#Miocene #Eocene #LastGlacialMaximum #MidHolocene #Climate

I’m only one person. I can’t stop climate change or save the world by myself. Why should I even try?

While it's true that you and I can only take tiny steps in comparison with the horrendous damage wrought by corporations and billionaires, we still should make the right eco-friendly choices.

If our actions can make even a small difference in reducing loss and pain for a few people or a few species, then it's worth it. If nothing else, we will feel better about ourselves. And with our improved mental and emotional well-being, we will have more energy to fight capitalism.

Hoy salimos a protestar en las calles de Berlín contra el absurdo y la hipocresía del gobierno alemán: 65 mil millones de euros anuales en subvenciones a los combustibles fósiles.

Sums it up nicely

Earth will soon cross a scary climate change threshold. What happens next?

2023 may overshoot the Paris Agreement target of 1.5C for the first time. How will that impact climate negotiations?

Los límites planetarios están definidos como procesos que mantienen la estabilidad y resiliencia el #SistemaTierra. Las perturbaciones ocasionadas por actividades humano-industriales han transgredido 6 de los 9 límites, lo cual indica que nuestro planeta se encuentra en un estado de gravedad sin precedentes en la historia humana.

We are on a path of more global warming. But how much your country has warmed and how much it will warm if we keep this trajectory?
In the case of Mexico, it has already warmed 1.5°C (compared to preindustrial levels).

El planeta se está calentando. Ya se calentó y se va a calentar más. Pero qué tanto? Y como se ve por país? Este sitio muestra qué tanto se calentó y cuánto se calentará para el 2100 si seguimos en esa trayectoria.
En el caso de CR, ya se calentó 1.4°C en promedio con respecto a valores preindustriales y todavía le falta. Hay que implementar soluciones YA y rechazar esos intentos de extraer petróleo o gas que pueda tener la administración actual.
