As someone who attended a Catholic college and took theology courses there, that OU essay is not "bible based". She didn't even cite scripture or any of the many, many theologians who have written about gender.

I wish my region would do e-bikes and electric public transportation! It would be so much more efficient if we could just transport people instead of adding a recliner and a loveseat into the equation

Some C goes into the soil for longer, that's what we call recalcitrant carbon. It happens when the organic matter isn't easily decomposed by the microbiota and sticks around for years to millennia. It will eventually reenter the C cycle as CO2 or CH4 though, given enough time

Hi, qualified person here. Decaying trees do release C into the atmosphere, CO2 is released by microbes in the process of aerobic respiration. CH4 is the product of anaerobic decomposition.

The real moral hazard isn't people getting things they "don't deserve", it's allowing human beings to suffer needlessly because of a lack of compassion and capitulation to this filthy, rotten system

I promise I try to communicate with everyone about the importance of soil and its microbial denizens, the public does not want to hear about it. At this point my local no-till CSA farms are cheaper than Kroger, but people are resistant to change even if it saves money

True, eliminating fossil fuels is a must. I'd also add in that we must change the agricultural system as we need to curb methane emissions and restore more land
