  1. Really proud of this paper coming out today in science, of which the last author is one of my colleagues. He had started thinking about this 15 years ago : one could suppose that the warming climate could lengthen the growing season for trees, and therefore increase their carbon uptake. The colleagues were however able to show that the warming climate has a negative impact on the growth rate of trees, which largely offsets the benefit of longer growing season on future forest carbon storage.

  2. RE: scicomm.xyz/@mustapipa/1171372

    If economics can be said to speak, it needs to shout LOUDLY about proper green regeneration (rather than plant-a-tree make-work): “Scientists found that natural #forest regeneration delivered substantial carbon and #biodiversity benefits and could be up to 96% cheaper than traditional tree-planting programs.” 🌳🪾🌲🌴🎄

    Fabulous news - thanks so much for sharing! 😀🙏🏻

  3. "Land management categories should be disaggregated in emissions reporting and targets".
    "Targets should acknowledge the need for Geological Net Zero, meaning one tonne of CO₂ permanenty restored to the solid Earth from every tonne still generated from fossil sources."
    "By adding to cumulative emissions, any entity, country or corporation adds to the total passive carbon sink that needs protection for the foreseeable future."

  4. My #PhotoArt tribute to #BigLonelyDoug - one of the biggest #DouglasFir #trees in the world.

    Learn more about this lonely #OldGrowth tree:
    "It has the third highest tree score and third widest diameter of any known Douglas-fir in Canada, following the Red Creek Fir in the nearby San Juan Valley and the Bonin Giant in the Coquitlam River watershed in British Columbia's Lower Mainland"

  5. My friend, Jane, from Lake Cowichan, was the first senior citizen activist who was arrested in 2021, at Fairy Creek Blockades. She messaged before heading out to meet up with me at HQ camp. She told me she's never been arrested for protesting anything before but due to seeing too much ecocide still happening in her golden years - declared, 'Getting arrested for protecting Mother Nature is now on my bucket list"🌲💦 💗🦅🌲🦉🌲 Jane stayed at HQ camp for 2 nights & on her 3rd day, headed out to chain herself/walker to a tripod hardblock. Jane was arrested, along with 12 others that day, after several hours. Jane is a wonderful human being, a musician, a fibers artist, a Mother & Grandmother, who loves nature very much.
