Just like Exxon knew about the impacts of climate change, the beef industry knew too. A new PLOS Climate study documents how the National Cattlemen’s Association (NCA), now NCBA, responded to evidence linking cattle methane to global warming from 1986–1996 (study 🔗 at end of 🧵)

When I was brand new at FC I got pitched a National Cattlemen's Beef Association white paper outlining the 'minimal environmental footprint of beef production in the US' and immediately called up @worldresources.bsky.social to get a sustainable food experts take: www.fastcompany.com/90431910/the...

fastcompany.com

The beef industry wants you to think that it has a 'minimal' environmental impact (it does not)

"If everyone in the world ate the same amount of beef we do in the U.S., we'd need another planet."

Whenever i consider a complex, societal question, I often ask the DOLY test. “What would Dolly Parton think of this? “What would the Dalai Lama think of this?” Right answers, every time.

Because it’s no longer a reasonable projection of our energy use and emissions. We’ve already departed from that scenario pathway

Because climate solutions are being implemented globally, the IPCC is ruling out the worst-case prediction of climate change, RCP 8.5. But that does not mean we are in the clear. 🔥 Listen to the full interview with @drkatemarvel.bsky.social in Heated: bit.ly/3VYuO9Y

Plug-in solar was approved in CA, and it's turning homes into a distributed network of tiny power plants. “It’s really ideal to use renewable electricity exactly where it’s generated.” - @amandadsmith.bsky.social, sr. scientist @mrmattsimon.bsky.social bit.ly/4xSqxCf #cleanenergy

California just made it legal to turn balconies into tiny power plants

The state is the biggest to approve solar panels that plug into walls, giving residents a cheaper way to generate their own electricity.

Well, the first and best thing to do is make our diets, food waste, and land use choices *far* more efficient. Eating lots of beef (whether feedlot or grass-finished), producing lots of corn ethanol, and wasting a third of the world’s food is pretty dumb.

I think the class of school administrators (not just in higher ed) who act fast to insulate core pedagogical functions from AI will reap major rewards for their trouble. In a few years, there will be an extremely stark difference between people who used AI in school and people who are competent

EVs are awesome. I have a Hyundai Ioniq 5, which has a range of 300-350 miles. I charge it at home, which is convenient, and it costs me about $10 to completely recharge the battery. (84 kWh at 12 cents a kWh) Compare that to a similar size gas car, at 25-30 mpg, which would cost $54 to fill up.

Yeah, I did the 220 v charger, which cost about $300 and $1000 rewire the garage. Thankfully, there was a rebate for the rewiring and a tax credit for the charger that helped.
