for - from - youtube - Just have a think - A controversial new paper challenges established emissions accounting criteria - https://hyp.is/9AQ6VF2SEfCsW8_68Y6AUA/www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9f16OTL1Lg - climate crisis - ERF - agriculture 60% - fossil fuels 18% - agriculture is the biggest contributor to carbon emissions summary - This paper uses Effective Radiative Forcing (ERF) as a metric to measure global carbon emissions instead of the traditional Global Warming Potential (GWP) - It points out the problematic nature of GWP and how ERF provides a more accurate picture - Using ERF, the most surprising result of this study is that agriculture is the leading sector causing global warming - Measured from a baseline of emissions since 1750, - agriculture contributes 60% while - fossil fuels contributes 18% - Projects like Project Drawdown already prioritize agriculture, this gives even more validation and priority on transforming the agricultural sector - This also increases importance on efforts in: - regenerative farming - bioreginalism - permaculture - agroforestry - rewilding

rapid whole system change - a new form of asceticism - We need something that can be higher than stripping away many of the liberties we take for granted? - This will be challenging because the American dream is based on the feeling and phrase "Give me liberty or give me death!"
