Australia is proposing to allow higher residue limits of the pesticide isocycloseram on berries, while the European Union takes a much more precautionary approach and does not approve it for use on food crops.
The debate highlights a bigger difference in philosophy: Europe often asks “are we certain this is safe long term?” while Australia’s system focuses on whether exposure levels are calculated to be below a risk threshold.
When it comes to chemicals in our food supply, should we be aiming for the lowest possible exposure rather than simply staying below a limit?#foodSafety #pesticides #health #environment #australia #precautionaryPrinciple

Discarding the #PrecautionaryPrinciple with #COVID19 has had lasting consequences for our health. Learn more in this discussion co-hosted with @[email protected], with guests @[email protected] and Sarah Masih.

Earth system models have generally been on track with unfolding reality, and they get better all the time.
Anyway, here's more of what Russell Vought calls "alarmism" but is better thought of as information for applying the #PrecautionaryPrinciple. These are very high stakes.
"Simultaneous droughts across multiple maize-producing regions can strike record-shattering portions of the global maize agricultural area, threatening global food security as the system is poorly adapted to large shocks. Yet the future probability of such global droughts remains unknown. Here, we close this gap by analyzing surface soil moisture data from large ensemble climate models under future emission scenarios. During 2026-2099, the chance of at least one such event is 52% (32–80%, range across models) under an intermediate emission scenario and 60% (32–100%) under high emissions, about seven to eleven times higher than expected if there were no long-term trends in soil moisture. These elevated probabilities are primarily driven by long-term drying in Brazil, Europe, and the USA. Interestingly, global record-shattering droughts do not emerge from simultaneous regional record-shattering events, but they mostly occur when several regions simultaneously face moderately extreme droughts relative to the new climate. These results demonstrate a high potential for an upcoming global record-shattering drought in crop-producing areas, an under-recognized risk for food security."
Sadly it appears the authors are unable to pay the ransom demanded by Springer-Nature so as to free their findings.
[HT to @anlomedad for pointing out that the article is indeed open access. And Springer Nature is that little bit richer. :-) ]

COVID is not just a respiratory virus. It’s not a cold. It’s not “mild”.
It’s a multi system vascular virus that can do damage throughout your body.
It’s also a novel virus. Five years is not a lot of time in the lifecycle of a new disease. The more we learn, the more obvious it becomes that avoiding infection is critical for long term health.
The precautionary principle should have been applied. We need to be humble and realize that we don’t know how bad things will be in another few years.
So wear a mask. Clean and ventilate the air. Avoid high risk settings. Do whatever you can to minimize your risk of infection. Protect yourself and your communities.

“There are no control groups,” Campen said. “Everyone is exposed.”
And that's a real problem - I recall the story breaking that second hand smoke was contributing to breast cancer - but it took many years of reduced smoking rates before enough women had NOT been exposed to second hand smoke so that they could compare groups in a meaningful way.
One of the reasons I am heartbroken that the #PrecautionaryPrinciple has been rejected by the US. By the time you find the harm, and demonstrate linkages, the damage is done.
