Bacteria produce methane

What else do we know about bacteria. Very little. Just that we are changing everything and that will find out more soon.

'has caused more'

always some typo in my post

Thank you for pointing out the EU loophole.

We spray 4 million metric tons of (broad-band) antibiotics every year. Mainly for meat, dairy, eggs (feed) & car biofuels.

What do we think will happen next?

Thank you for pointing this out!

Europe has caused the more deforestation historically in South America (and US) tha China. But China is catching up, of course.

Love it.

But obviously, the issue is deeper than crossings. Like with insects.

What has nature ever done for us? #TOADWATCH

Yes. Thank you for pointing this out.

Yield pressure due to meat tempts farmers to sacrifice the long term for the short term: Fertilizers, pesticides matching GMO clones & irrigation. After a few decades, this has now caught up to us. The compound interests are now due.

Big Meat & Big Chemicals 💒

It happens the other way around. Our food systems view the the bacteria that make ice form at -2°C instead of -15°C (like on Mars) as pests and dry to destroy them.

Bacteria like pseudomonas syringae make ice form at -2°C instead of -15°C. The estimated radiative forcing impact is approximately 10.7-21.4 W/m2.

Our food systems kill these bacteria with toxins. We now face a microbial extinction event. Do we know how much this is affecting ice #albedo already?

I understand. But I want to tell the truth re CFCs and the ozone hole as I see it. Gravity is 9.8 m/s2. Not 5. Not 14.

We've reached 1.5°C. 2°C is committed due to past emissions. The cost of carbon is $♾️

We are extreme (1% wildlife left) and now we face stage 4 cancer. Radical changes or we die.

Unless we remove 2/3s of all cars first, producing & operating new EVs at 81% energy from fossil fuels makes everything worse. Rich countries export old IC cars when they buy EV.

We've added 890 million new cars since 2015. 90% not EVs. We add 90M / year. Only 20% EV.

#Wildlife conservation is like reforesting or #rewilding. Pure #greenwashing to avoid meaningful changes.

Unless we first ban beef & dairy - we make everything only worse since we only outsource and hide land use to new (old-growth rainforest) regions. No flat Earth and no hiding.

Vegetation change can influence maritime cloud brightness. This paper strengthens the idea that biotic GHG like forest-VOCs affect maritime stratocumulus albedo. It bridges biotic pump dynamics, aerosols & radiative forcing. Forests breathe water & aerosols, shaping clouds across continents & oceans

I got that. I mean that I was hoping that you can disagree somehow.

I've mixed feeling about the planetary boundaries representation. It works for emissions & plastics. It seems as if we can grow the red into infinity somehow?

Re cutting out our lungs & heart,biosphere , it doesn't work well. There we go towards 0% and this isn't shown well? What if we had zero 🫀🫁?

Hugo @nonviolence.bsky.social · 7h

Please show me how I am wrong if you can. I'd love that 💔

But sadly, more bad stuff often leads to more bad stuff.

American and European #skills 2025:

- Buy & consume uppers and downers

- Drive a car

- Eat tortured animals while feeling like a victim of life

- Hate half the human population while loving your cat or dog

The 4% include sea mammals. Only 2% of mammalian biomass was land wildlife in 2015, which I was referring to. Sorry for not explaining this better.

What happened since 2015? We've added 800 million humans since 2015 & eat 10% more meat (land use) per capita.

I sadly fear it's 1% wild land mammals
