Oh, sorry I misread your first comment.

First: acriculture is a major greenhouse gas contributor, globally.

The amount of greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture is significant: The agriculture, forestry and land use sectors contribute between 13% and 21% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Source: Wikipedia

I'm not sure how they affected by climate action. I can only assume it's a sector, where it's very difficult to remove emissions, unlike other sectors without impacting the crop amount? Like reducing farm animals or fertilizers and machinery?

Here is a short breakdown of emissions in agriculture from "ourworldindata.org".

Unfortunately my hardware is too old to play games that are like that.

But I've noticed the same with mobile games. My policy is: if that single player game doesn't start without internet access it gets deleted.

I would go even further and say that the perception of the voters outweighs reality.

Ironically education is a good way for people not to radicalize, I believe.

Thank you for the detailed explanation!

I see. Yes I watched the debate and he really didn't do well, like he was on some medicine and partly asleep. My favorite part was when they discussed who is better at golf. Was a very important thing to get clear for people like me, that are worried of climate collapse.

But this isn't new to Biden, is it? Confusing names and numbers has always been a Biden thing, I think, it's not necessarily a health decline. Like my favorite American president quote is "America is a nation that can be defined in a single word: ashofootnae ehfoot, excuse me, at the foothills in the Himalaya..."

That's why I thought the democrats had a meeting after the debate and saw that Biden's campaign is not going well and the public thinks (doesn't matter if rightfully or not) Biden is too old and mentally declining. Maybe, in order to save the sinking ship, it's best to play a rather risky move of changing the nomine just a few months before election. Or maybe he was also peer pressured.

Anyway, if it was Biden's initiative he does deserve a lot of respect for it!

I'm not from the US. Is it really his choice? I thought it would be more democratic and the party members would vote for who they run, how they run, etc?

It propably grabbed the info off some random number-confusing dude like me, who recently posted the Earth's diameter would be about 6 km instead of 6000.

Edit: oops, did it again. Meant radius, not diameter...

Eau de Paris' data shows that pollution levels in the river exceeded regulatory standards on most days between July 26, the start date of the Olympics, and Wednesday. Eau de Paris did not release data for Thursday and Friday, when the men's and women's 10 kilometer swims were held.

Lol, do they try the Covid strategy of "no numbers, no problem!"?

Land use (and with that agriculture) has a lot to do with emissions. Imagine a forest cleared to farm palm oil. All that stored carbon is now in the atmosphere. Think about the staple crop rice emitting methane, due to the nature of water submerged fields.

If not emissions, water usage is also a big concern. Like farming water intensive crops in areas where water is sparse, just because the crop is very profitable, but maybe not very nutritious.

I always considered dying sleeping one of the better ways to go. But since I woke up some years back, I don't want to fall asleep again. Despite being so tired of all of this!

I was thinking that, too. Afaik there are also water based propellants, at least in testing stage.

Such a interesting time frame to be alive! Humanity is in a race against itself. Losing could not only mean the end of humanity, but of vast forms of life on Earth. And it's an uphill race of common democratic people racing against the rich, who own the means we need to win.

Almost like a movie, however, I feel in a movie there wouldn't be as many people shrugging shoulders and looking away.
