The epitome of #JunkScience. #FarmAnimals produce #carbon emissions at substantial rates. This cannot be in dispute. If we are going to #decarbonize then we must manage their populations, not look for #MagicBullets. Embracing a #PlantBasedDiet by all requires #farms to be more productive and sustainable. A balance of all factors is needed, not this #bullshit rhetoric.

A decade ago, #FishOil and #Niacin in large quantities were prescribed by #Cardiologists for their patients. Today, it is #Ozempic. Can you see the pattern here? #MiracleDrugs #MagicBullets. #HeartDisease #Diabetes.

There are only three #PathwaysToDecarbonization #AtScale; 1/ #RenewableEnergy. 2/ #Electrification of Everything & 3/ #BehavioralChange. No #MagicBullets are required from #CleanEnergyGrifters or #TechBros. #JustSayNO and Focus on the Outcome, not #ShinyObjects.
‘Magical’ tech innovations a distraction from real solutions, climate experts warn https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/dec/10/climate-experts-warn-against-focus-technological-solutions-cop28?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
#CDR & all its acronyms is a #Grift being worked by #CarbonCaptureGrifters across the World. It is one of the many #MagicBullets being promoted by #FossilFuel #CarbonGrifters to clean up their mess. It does not work #AtScale. The only solutions are #BehavioralChange, #Decarbonization & #Electrification.
