Sustainable agroecology—an oxymoron embedded within an oxymoron.

Another successful conclusion to a discussion with an idget. 😊

“A sudden reinterest in non-renewable energy sources to fuel an AI boom could contradict net zero carbon timelines and sustainability pledges made by major tech companies in recent years.”

Why am I not surprised? 🤔

A critical milestone—purchased with the loss of biodiversity. Using one credit card to pay for another.

A major US state just achieved a critical milestone for nearly two weeks: 'It's wild that this isn't getting more news coverage' - The Cool Down apple.news/Axn9hzc7XQ76nV…

Overgrazing, loss of topsoil, roads, solar farms, fossil fuels, construction, buildings/transfer stations, electrical rights-of-way, loss of biodiversity, invasive species………all in one northern Nevada photo on BLM “managed” land.

Lyle Lewis US National Forests contain >380,000 miles of roads —8x more than the U.S. interstate highway system. And the agency continues to buld 1000s of miles of new roads every year.

I think this qualifies as my Ecosystem Collapse du Jour post:

“There’s still time to reverse its decline,” says Bonnie Baxter, director of the Great Salt Lake Institute, after inhaling deeply from her hopium cigar. ⌛️

Any road, ‘ghost’ or otherwise, paves the way for leveling ecosystems across the planet—Asia-Pacific rainforests, Amazon rainforests, Serengeti plains, boreal forests, ….😟.

“When ideas are widely held, they don’t stand out as much; they…become the norm. As long as everyone believes climate change, deforestation, desertification, and the loss of biodiversity won’t affect our lifestyle, we can continue on…” from “Racing to Extinction”, by L. Lewis.

Onur Apul, an environmental engineer at U of Maine and the head of its initiative to study PFAS solutions, told me that in his opinion, the United States has seen “nothing as overwhelming, and nothing as universal” as the PFAS crisis. Zoë Schlanger

The annihilation of more public land and biodiversity than any other administration……..a historic milestone.

Some USFWS higher ups & managers have scammed environmental NGOs for so long & effectively that many of the groups think getting nearly nothing is better than nothing at all

Jane van Dis MD 🌎 Lyle Lewis Another example of this -- all the time/resources etc going into seed banking rare plants. Where do they think they're going to plant them out once the habitat is gone/too hot/dry/wet, etc.? Nutso. saveplants.org/national-colle…

Ad hominem attacks……OK
Being called out on those attacks……Whoa Mister!

PFAS in food/water & nanoplastics in human body tissues aren’t a problem as long as humanity can remain laser focused on asteroid samples/galactic discoveries.

Why are you so siloed in your thinking? Why do you think destroying the planet will save it? You lack the basics of environmental engineering, ecology and toxicology. Yours is the rationale used for economic growth…..locking in our imminent extinction.
