Boss just bought a new car, so I'm heading to Melbourne Saturday night for a longhaul home Sunday morning, solo.

Anyone want to catch up (or can recommend) a good stop for a feed on the way home? Comment here or DM me 🍻

“Hormesis is a stimulatory effect produced by low doses of herbicides that are generally toxic at high doses.” Research by Dr Asad (CSU) with resistant tall fleabane shows the hormesis effect at low doses of paraquat compared to higher doses.

GWP*

that's the most relevant equation that the @IPCC and @FAO are having trouble interpreting 🤯

Thanks, @Livestock_SA, for a great evening and @stationmum101

GWP* — a better way of measuring methane and how it impacts global temperatures

Mitloehner lab Ph.D. student Alice Rocha, M.S. explains why GWP* better measures the short-lived nature of methane in the atmosphere and why it is important to measure methane correctly.

precisely, so safety aside (even if it turns out insignificant) we don't need another drug

James Preuss @jamespreuss.bsky.social · Dec 10

agreed, I'm for chemical where they are needed or no alternative e.g. Paraquat or Glyphosate.

IMO this isn't needed, it's biogenic and we aren't solving anything. Just adding another drug to our food

Yes, if you want to use it as a reproductive male, if past that stage, it's a severe irritant on the skin.

I would say we don't need to drug our way out of climate change (particularly not biogenic carbon)... submarine volcanoes are more important, fossil fuel methane emmisions
