Red meat production accounts for 30% of global food-related emissions but generates only 5% of dietary calories or 2% of the global protein supply. That's why Project Drawdown researcher @enviroem.bsky.social calls it the coal of the food system: https://bit.ly/4x2yGnz

I disagree with so much that’s in this. We don’t know if humans have the ability to remove additional carbon from the atmosphere, using either nature or technology. Now is the time for research but these are not current climate solutions. What is? Stopping the burning of fossil fuels.

What will happen to the 82 USFS experimental forests around the country? Many sites have decades-long experiments that are tracking how forests are changed by timber harvesting practices and climate change. As I say here, “you can't just pick up an experimental forest site and move it to SLC.”

In 2025, nearly half of all books that got read in the US were read by people who read 50 books+ (HT @drkatemarvel.bsky.social) This inspired my new year's resolution to be in that group, and read at least 50 books this year. 10 books in, learning fascinating history, still time to join! #booksky
