I don’t know why you were downvoted; you are right. Plant based is the way to go, and I say this as your typical omnivorous white dude. Until we get more buy in from people (changing diets) and from corporations, it’s unlikely to change, though.

A few points I would like to make:

1. Soil degradation of corn:soy systems is largely due to tillage. No till is better, but perhaps not as good as agroforestry

2. Proponents of agroforestry often gloss over the changes required to actually practice it. Where a farmer can use large combines to harvest corn and soy relatively easily, he now has trees interrupting harvest, or its harder to harvest the diverse cropping systems (e.g., food bearing trees). While the benefits of argo forestry are real, so are the challenges.

3. Soil C sequestration from these systems is most likely temporary, and net neutral, but will reduce input costs

4. We need to switch away from beef - eat more chikn

While I think veganism is an honourable thing, I think it can be difficult to do.

I don’t mind seed bombing provided native spp. Are used.

Wait more than one person says it like this?

Bone-apple-tea!

Jokes aside, welcome to our little corner of the web. There is some really cool stuff here if you’re even remotely interested in environmental crap. We are pretty far left on the spectrum (heck, more like anarchists), even by Lemmy standards, I think, but we are also a pretty chill bunch.

Colour me unsurprised.

Not only is this clearly a gaslighting campaign by oil companies, but CCS just doesn’t fucking work. The scale of storage actually needed is astronomical.

Storing it away in geological formations/boreholes isn’t going to work bc your storage is only as good as the plug and the formation holding it.

Binding it to rock via tailings or other means is appealing but doesn’t work because carbonates are pretty easily weathered and released

The limiting factor in this is suitable soil. Converting a parking lot to a green space takes a bit of effort since soil has been removed to create it.

We are small, but we are mighty!
