  1. "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). rdcu.be/d9Rnm

  2. "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".

  3. "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".

    Wunderling, N., Sakschewski, B., Rockström, J. et al. "Deforestation-induced drying lowers Amazon climate threshold." (2026). doi.org/10.1038/s41586-026-104

  4. "Cascading transition risks towards degraded ecosystems in the #Amazon biome[:] The large majority of the simulated transitions is caused by spatial knock-on effects from increasing drought intensities, leading to long-ranging and self-propelling cascades on scales of hundreds to thousands of kilometres."

  5. We would halve #methane emissions from North America if we cut cattle by half 🧵

    A most efficient path would be to target #USA because the headcount is biggest and because each bovine emits most if bred the American way. Same as in Brazil: mas.to/@maugendre/113992940508

  10. @climate @agriculture

    Greenhouse gas from livestock digestion in Equatorial Climates 🧵

    Along the Equator, it mainly is sheep and bovines that account for methane emissions.
    The biggest producers are Ethiopia and Sudan (South Sudan included).

    #Cattle husbandry emits #greenhouse gas.
    For example:
    * South America and the Indian subcontinent breed most bovines who emit most methane.
    * China and the Middle East produce too much livestock methane in regard to their bovine headcounts.
