Yep, tax animal agriculture out of existence. As much as I like the idea, there is a risk we'd end up with more animal suffering, at least in the short- and medium-term.A meat tax has little consumer support, so most likely a tax would foremost or only be applied to the flesh of those animals that contribute most to global warming, ruminants. And consumers might just switch to eating more chickens, pigs and fishes.
It's explained here in more detail:

@paulpeace @Andy_Scollick Great inputs by both of you, appreciate the conversation we've had.
Random loose ends:
How long until the ocean circulation crosses #criticality & flips in the direction of another mini ice age or such? Imagine having migrated to less hot areas, re-building for a couple generations, and then having to migrate south again, leaving most of it all behind again.
I've spent the last 5-10 years thinking there was still time to engineer 'soft landing' alternatives, but I'm no longer convinced there is time or resources to do this. Again, that doesn't mean stone age level before we rebound, but nothing like the Civ we have now.
Hard line attempts at structural & social civ change will likely also result in violent outcomes in the areas where that succeeds, and their neighbors took a more optimistic route. Same sort of competing our way to the bottom game theory results as now.
That said, I think local solutions are the best ROI in general. I think it is valid that the most advanced nations will suffer the most, measured in change/loss of norms, social disorder, etc. Also mostly coincides with the most dense areas, which are far from #equilibrium in the #sustainable sense.
There is also a great risk of mass #information loss if we cannot maintain the complex set of requirements needed for computer #memory storage device maintenance.
All this with scarce & unaffordable gasoline, as we watch militaries burn up the last of it.
Sadly, it will most likely take the occurrence of many of these things we're talking about before serious efforts are undertaken at the levels needed.

The Australian Clean Energy Regulator authorised a #blueCarbon methodology under the Emissions Reduction Fund for #carbonCredits on 2 January 2022. "The new method covers projects that introduce tidal flows to allow the establishment of coastal wetland ecosystems including supratidal forests, mangroves, saltmarshes and seagrass, through the removal or modification of a tidal restriction mechanism."

I remember attending the #BlueCarbon in NDCs side event at #COP25 in Madrid in 2019 which Minister Angus Taylor spoke at. Australia was then developing blue carbon methodologies, and supporting blue carbon projects in PNG and the Pacific. No questions to Ministers or the expert panel at the event (Yes, I had a question to ask)

@paulpeace Interesting. For a number of years I’ve visited the local populations of eastern grey kangaroos in my 5km radius of Fawkner, including the 9ha #NgarriDjarrang #Grasslands in #Reservoir surrounded by residential development. Numbers are steady at about one dozen Roos. One quiet road bisects the grasslands.

@paulpeace Hi Paul,
In case you are interested, here is a petition for radical, restructuring reform of the #UN, which hasn't changed in structure since it was formed shortly after #WW2, and frankly isn't fit for resolving conflicts peacefully such as #RussiaUkraineWar, dealing with the #ClimateAndEcologicalEmergency, and more.
The petition is accessible via toot:
-
@paulpeace We agree! #RegenerativeGrazing is a false solution and much be dismissed as such. #Veganic #agroecology is the way to go.

See this recent discussion of the Australian #blueCarbon methodology for producing Australian Carbon Credit Units. The first Blue Carbon method so far developed is restoring tidal flows to #wetlands, but two other methods are presently under consideration. #CarbonCredits #Offsets #ACCUs #CarbonSequestration

A shiny new profile as I start my second PhD. "What have I done?" has taken on a second meaning!

Watching a talk at uni by Prof James Wilsdon. Got me thinking. How do we ensure scientific advisors to governments ensure they channel scientific consensus and not outlier studies? And sometimes policy has to be formed on volatile, early-stage science despite uncertainty.

Woo-hoo! Life-changing news! I've accepted an offer to study for a 2nd PhD, at The Australian National University, Centre for the Public Awareness of Science. Topic: Scientific Communication of the Environmental Effects of Dietary Overconsumption.

I hadn't noticed it was Black History Month, so that sounds about. Still, by week 4, I have come across quite a bit of activity, in this case, in marine sciences. Voices from this exciting corner of science would like to share their experiences. They speak below.
A panel of black marine scientists talk about their journey into marine science, difficulties in entry to the field, successes, isolation and other experiences:

Will Steffen on the climate challenge: “It's not a technological or a scientific problem, it’s a question of humanities’ socio-political values... We need a social tipping point that flips our thinking before we reach a tipping point in the climate system."

I'm calling for the word #sustainabler. Very few things are truly sustainable across population and time. The threshold for calling a product or process sustainable is ridiculously low, misleading, and encourages conscience-free and unwitting consumption.

Many people advocating a 'circular economy' support economic growth. Could they explain how elements already in this closed loop defy the laws of physics by growing without extraction or pollution?

Healthy eating is not 'more expensive' for the typical Aussie metro area. It's cheaper. Wholefood vegan diets are even cheaper still (this research is based on the so-called 'Planetary Health Diet' which still trashes the environment with fish and meat).

Growth won't decouple from carbon emission AND water extraction/pollution AND biodiversity loss AND extinctions AND chemicals. Pipe dreams. Just stop the deception, please. #degrowth to a #SteadyStateEconomy

A long way to pull this back and most of it is going in the wrong direction. #degrowth to a #SteadyStateEconomy is required. Consumptgenic lifestyles must be reined in.

I won't be celebrating a symbolic 8 billionth person on the planet.
We hit 8B today.
Planetary Health = Population x Consumption x Technology
-10B forecast by 2050.
-little sign of reduced consumption.
-every sign technology isn't enough.

These grow along the dunes. Good ground cover for our garden. The pink is very cheery! Delightful name, Pigface. Bushtucker - maybe dune tucker - if you like the salty flavour. #NativePlanting #WildlifeGardening #Natives

More local native plants going in the garden. Hibbertia vestita / hairy guinea flower. #NativePlanting #WildlifeGardening #Rewilding
