"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."Allen et al. (2024). https://rdcu.be/d9Rnm

"Earth’s forests reached a tipping point. They had grown dense, lush canopies at the start of one of Earth’s most intense episodes of greenhouse warming. But those canopies began to thin."
"The structure of a forest – and importantly its canopy – controls the amount of light that reaches the forest floor, the temperature, water habitat and amount of carbon the forest can store, making it one of the clearest indicators of ecosystem function."
"Forest canopies opened, exposing the ground to more sunlight and altering the movement of water through the landscape."
"As temperatures climbed, heat and drought overwhelmed the benefits of higher carbon dioxide levels. The canopy rapidly thinned as trees died, and it remained much thinner for over 100,000 years."
"Ancient soils gave way to coarser river deposits".Regan E. Dunn writes: https://theconversation.com/ancient-forests-took-100-000-years-to-recover-from-the-last-global-warming-period-similar-to-today-wyoming-fossils-reveal-what-happened-289462

Los centros de datos a hiperescala son enormes galpones que simulan ser naves industriales y que solo albergan humo multicolor a costa del saqueo cultural, intelectual y territorial. Destruyen el aire, el agua y la tierra para abastecer sistemas de IA e IA generativa que nadie pidió.

En un contexto global donde los recursos de agua dulce aptos para el consumo humano son extremadamente limitados y están distribuidos de forma desigual, se están destinando millones de esos litros de agua dulce para refrigerar servidores y generar electricidad para el funcionamiento de los datacenters que abastecen sistemas de IA e IA generativa ⚠️

37% of Germany's #climate bioeconomy footprint stems from #livestock. As the consumption of #meat in Germany is 3x higher than dietary recommendations, related #environment pressures can be decreased thru dietary change—which would also be healthier: doi.org/10.1016/j.sp... #Footprint #Health

From Ireland Land Use Review latest report: “sustainable land use requires very significant change”.
Explanations by Caroline O'Doherty:
"Agriculture is the main polluter of waterways, half of which fail to meet minimum environmental standards.
"It is responsible for 38 per cent of national emissions – the largest of any sector.
"It is the number one pressure on wildlife and natural habitats, 90 per cent of which are in poor condition."By subscription: https://www.irishtimes.com/life-style/2026/08/09/how-irelands-land-is-used-and-why-it-has-to-change/

Harrelson has been #vegan for more than 30 years and has long advocated for plant-based eating as a way to protect animals, improve health, and reduce our environmental #footprint.
Do you agree that changing what we eat is one of the most impactful actions we can take for the planet? https://vegnews.com/is-woody-harrelson-vegan

#Mining sub-Saharan Africa is expanding rapidly. This poses a key threat to tropical forests.
"For every hectare of direct deforestation due to the mine footprint, mining triggers, on average, 34 hectares of additional offsite loss within five years through ancillary activities, including agriculture and settlements. Mines extracting cobalt and copper—key energy transition minerals—caused the highest amount of additional deforestation."
Morton et al. (2026). "Mining triggers extensive additional deforestation in sub-Saharan Africa" https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-026-10551-2 🧩 🧵

Bronze Age stone footprints may have sealed friendships, marriages, and alliances in ancient Scandinavia
Thousands of footprints carved into rock surfaces along the coasts of southern Scandinavia have puzzled archaeologists for decades. These ancient engravings, known as podomorphs, were often treated as symbolic images or ritual representations. A new study suggests a very different interpretation...More info: https://archaeologymag.com/2026/06/bronze-age-stone-footprints-carved-into-scandinavian-rocks/

Teilhabe ist ein weites Feld. Hörgeräte werden über Apps gesteuert. Was ist aber mit den Menschen, die kein Smartphone besitzen? Für die bleibt es still. Darüber und über andere Aspekte von digitaler Teilhabe haben wir beim #d64footprint in Mainz gesprochen. Danke an @LinHead für die fantastische Orga vor Ort. #D64 #footprint #digitaleteilhabe

"The authors report that the occurrence of extensive deforestation in tandem with climate change will cause the remaining rainforest to lose resilience at global-warming levels of or slightly higher than 1.5 °C — rather than 4 °C — above pre-industrial levels".
