Celeste Irwin🏳️‍⚧️ I have this idea that there's a progression:

Non-affirming (jerk)

Non-affirming (polite)

Affirming 'but it's a difficult issue and we need to respect that'

Affirming and 'oh crap I did damage when non-affirming'

Soil people! Listen to Silvia!

If you are working in SOC and haven’t talked to an agronomist or soil biogeochemist or similar about “what are the *bad* ways to make SOC go up?” then you are not paying attention.

Total emissions reduction is the goal, NOT SOC increase alone!

So we are spending billions of dollars to subsidize ineffective climate mitigation practices such as cover crops and no till, and we will know even less about them now.
Since the real goal of these climate smart programs is to pad farmers’ pockets, this makes sense, I suppose.

The valorization of adoptive parenthood is so hegemonic in the USA that adoptees and relinquishing parents take a real risk in voicing their true feelings. Please consider this the next time someone insists that all the adoptees they know are “fine” with their adoptions.

People love to shit on Indigo but is literally anybody else out there doing OC at $60-80/t?

PR noted that here: prnewswire.com/news-releases/…

Ofc it's their own PR, who knows what % sold at that price, etc. But still... $60-80/t is *completely* different economics than $25-30/t.

Paul and Nori have done so much for this community. Yard Stick would not exist without him/them.

Give it up for Paul! Thank you Paul! 🫡

It’s not a fun conversation, but carbon removal becoming carbon offsets 2.0 is inevitable. Unless we work to prevent it.

How did we get to a place in the Discourse where biology is seen as slow/limiting rather than endlessly expansive, accelerative and even liberating? So much energy wasted railing against something that would yield infinite benefit if approached with more curiosity and nuance.

Deputy director of policy (and certified climate wonk) Cristel Zoebisch got in the weeds with Max Graham on all things soil carbon and why soil carbon research and verification should be prioritized in the next Farm Bill 🌱

Listen!
