This unassuming-looking man was a professor of history. He also fought at the Battle of Somme and Marne, and against the Germans in World War 2, he joined the Resistance and was captured by the Gestapo, who murdered him. Let's just say, they don't make academics like they used to

En estos días, ante la tragedia ocurrida en #Valencia, como no acordarse de las enseñanzas del profesor Millán Millan y entender que parte de lo sucedido desde un punto de vista climático, es consecuencia de lo que él denominó un "problema de dos patas" 🧵👇

"Climate disinformation" is an elitist trap. Why? It centers the professional-managerial class in climate action — people who work with information — rather than people who build goods and grow stuff. jacobin.com/2024/08/climat…

@Inchhighprivate @TheStalwart I can’t speak to grassroot’s contract or their payments to ranches. We operate on 30 year timelines and fires are inputs to our models that we expect to sometimes occur. Any decent carbon contract has wildfire contingencies if it’s a potential reversal.

That huge Texas wildfire burned through a project that was using soil as a way of collecting carbon credits bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Some absolutely beautiful stuff being done in this medium, not even lying.

@itsrishabh sorry I meant low carbon cotton!! you have plenty of potential suppliers in USA there as well as regen agronomy groups that have access to supply who are listed.

@HomeDePlata Wow great resource, tyty -- just 11? seems tiny when just one company is looking for a few hundred tonnes 🥲

dumb q for my twitter friends: if you wanted to procure 100,000 tonnes of low-carbon cotton, where would you go?

First paper from our @SAREProgram Pastured Beef Project with @SierraNYoung now published! The study found that rotationally grazed, perennial grasslands🌱 had healthier soil conditions compared with neighboring fields producing commodity corn for feedlot finishing.🌽 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

@_ghendi I haven't seen much introduced silvopasture like that in USA. Cattle nutrition aside, if he wants to be regen, they can still graze the orchard and I wonder if the beer is spent grains or legit beer. Probably makes a lot more sense to have more tree fodder species mixed in...
