I have an honour's degree in the conservation of biology & a post graduate certificate in the science of psychology.
Conservation biology is the study of the conservation of nature & of Earth's biodiversity with the aim of protecting species (flora & fauna), their habitats, & ecosystems from excessive rates of extinction & the erosion of biotic interactions. Psychology is the study of the mind & behaviour of human & non-human animals

American universities in the spotlight over reaction to Israel-Gaza war – podcast

The first of two episodes of The Conversation Weekly podcast exploring how the Israel-Gaza war is affecting life at universities.

The Conversation

Wow! This is an amazing finding!

#Scientific inquiry has discovered that NOT burning that carbon-based fuel is a 100% proven solution to NOT emit that fuel's carbon into the atmosphere (Wow! Who knew! This isn't #greenwash)

This discovery could be a game changer for mitigating #ClimateChange - if the discovery is considered when developing #political & #economic policies

Thank #Science that we now understand what action to avoid if we are to avoid intensifying the #ClimateCrisis

Former #UK #conservative energy minister Chris Skidmore vows to quit "ASAP" because #RishiSunak's legislation promotes the production of new oil & gas https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/newslondon/fresh-by-election-nightmare-for-rishi-sunak-as-tory-mp-vows-to-quit-over-oil-drilling-law/ar-AA1mwfrE

The conservative party does know that the #science says we must leave the oil & gas in the ground to avoid intensifying the #ClimateCrisis

Also, private companies would own the oil & gas & sell it on the Global market (e.g., #RishiSunak would profit from it if he had shares in the #FossilFuel companies?)

The Path Of Least Resistance (POLR) to decrease the rate of #GlobalHeating (to mitigate the rate of harm being caused by a changing #climate) is the POLR that will reduce the amount of greenhouse gases human activities are emitting into the atmosphere

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink (proverb)

Many people now accept the #science, even if they don't understand why, that, e.g., CO2 emissions are causing #ClimateChange

BUT... #politics #economics #money

In contrast to the recent brutal cold, December 2023 observed well above average temperatures across most all of North America stretching up into the Arctic. This again highlights the importance of regional variability.

There is no such thing as sustainable jet travel. No matter what "they" say, physics proves they're talking BS (industry & passengers, often due to various personal reasons - the greenwashers & the greenwashed that want to believe in the greenwash)

"The flight volume increased again the following year & was forecasted to reach 34.4 million passengers in 2023" https://www.statista.com/statistics/564769/airline-industry-number-of-flights/

#Vegans: Are They Right?

#Science Vs takes on fads, trends, and the opinionated mob to find out what’s fact, what’s not, and what’s somewhere in between https://gimletmedia.com/shows/science-vs/6nh87mb/vegans-are-they-right

The point is that to mitigate animal cruelty, biodiversity loss and climate change, the informed ethical agents will aim to eat a plant and fungi-based diet.

Vegans: Are They Right?

Do vegans have a right to be so smug? We’re finding out whether it really is better for the environment, and our bodies, to go vegan. We speak to environmental researcher Joseph Poore, historian Prof. Connie Hilliard, anthropologist Prof. Katharine Milton, and nutrition researcher Prof. Roman Pawlak.

In breaking #satire #news, the media frenzy surrounding Greenwash Airway's hiring of an Anti-Greenwash executive officer has taken on a new twist. The Anti-Greenwash officer has been photographed sitting on the bumper of his diesel Sports Utility Vehicle "drinking" a beefburger by using a straw.

The Satire News asked an expert, "What does this mean?". The expert emailed back, "Out to lunch!"

ARG! WHAT DOES THAT MEAN!

The #EU implements & supports Carbon Offsetting Schemes (COS). In 2026 the EU will ban misleading terms such as “climate neutral” or “climate positive” that rely on offsetting schemes https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/jan/17/eu-bans-misleading-environmental-claims-that-rely-on-offsetting

What are COS? COS are used by polluting industries & individuals to buy carbon credits, for example, via the #UN 'Carbon Offset Platform', rather than reduce their pollution https://unfccc.int/climate-action/united-nations-carbon-offset-platform

A carbon & methane tax will price big polluters out of the global #economy

EU bans ‘misleading’ environmental claims that rely on offsetting

Products and services billed as climate neutral, biodegradable or eco must provide proof, with carbon schemes banned as evidence
