..." Soils under long-established prairie grasslands can contain more than 10 tons of roots per acre with most of this bulk in the top 24 inches.

......The roots of some prairie plants can extend to a depth of 10 feet or more. Various studies of the potential for tallgrass prairie carbon storage have shown that the storage rates vary between .30 and 1.7 metric tons per acre per year. This storage ability is cumulative over time so prairie soil is able to sequester or store large volumes of carbon in a natural, safe, effective and reliable way compared to the risky and expensive practice of pumping CO2 underground.

An additional benefit of this “grassland carbon storage system” is that the sequestered carbon is supporting a lush prairie ecosystem above ground. "...

I am on topic, the foolish predictions of world ending doom. I guess dying from a hurricane is worse than a volcano. The point is, I've heard all of this garbage before. Been hearing it all my adult life, we are all gonna die if something, whatever that is, isn't done now. All I have seen done is elite govt and celebrity assholes fly around the world in private jets and lecture people about their grills, pizza ovens and lawn mowers. Science has been wrong about every long term prediction it has ever made for the last 40 years. You can follow that shit if you want, but the evidence for science making accurate predictions speaks for itself.

It's wrong to cede that term. It's not "science", "science" is a subset of rational epistemology, it doesn't talk.

Bold academics would be a better term.

Yes yet there is some who anticipated the future on various topics of bitcoin, bail-outs by USA citizens and  my first hearing of the phrase 'Greenhouse Effect' was in Fullers 1979 book " Critical Path ".


.."“The best way to predict the future is to design it.” ...."Buckminster Fuller said that. His words inspire me every day of my life. To follow them there is a list of steps to take. It’s easy, friend. Take them. You certainly won’t be bored."......

I dont recall ever reading such quote by Fuller. I dunno

"Load of shit". LOL

Go on......Add weight to the vegan argument.

Though I'm guessing that vegans shit methane too.


And as Central Europe scorches in the heat, Wales continues to be cool and wet.....Not much change there.
