Another example of the multiple links between land use and a lower carbon bioeconomy.
Blocks made from hemp and oyster shells (high quality lime) and hexcore.com.au making hemp boards in Australia. Decide for yourself what is more interesting and worth investing in, crypto or bioeconomy. This is just the start of a rural renewal.

Some people (you know the disingenuous type) like to point to the GISP2 temperature record (an ice core retrieved from the summit of Greenland) as evidence that it's not that warm recently.

Let's look at the FULL Greenland summit temperature record, from NASA:

A common argument you'll hear from climate-denying cranky uncles at Thanksgiving is ad hominem attacks - rather than engage with the science of climate change, they attack the credibility of climate scientists. Sadly, it happens to scientists in every field. crankyuncle.com/cranky-uncle...

So much pain in the extended outlook for Alaska. Everything after day 6 or 7 is incredibly warm and there is no end in sight. It will be a brutal first half of December around here. This map shows the probability of being 10F above normal on Dec 6th. @alaskawx.bsky.social

Trees aren't just for oxygen; they're economic gold. Fruit orchards can turn communities into mini-markets, green waste into mulch moolah, and vocational training into green jobs. Planting trees seeds economic growth, sustainability, and community spirit. #PlantingTrees #Sustainability

'Our agricultural practices are now so massive and unsustainable that they endanger the very environmental systems that sustain us.' #climatecrisis #food #sustainability @projectdrawdown.bsky.social @waiterich.bsky.social
Did you know that the food system has a staggering impact on the environment? In many ways, it's bigger than fossil fuels.

- Our food system uses ~37% of the world's land
- It is responsible for ~70% of our freshwater use
- And it emits 22-34% of our greenhouse gases
