  • You may know laughing gas from your visit to the dentist. But did you know that it's actually a climate killer - 300 times as potent as CO₂? Why is no one talking about it? And how can we to stop it?
    #PlanetA #nitrousoxide #greenhousegases
    We're destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn't need to be this way. Our new channel Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world - and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What we can do and how the system needs to change. Every Friday we'll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess.

      Plant based diets are causing this problem, animal based regenerative agriculture is the solution. Plant based diets are the primary reason for many of the worlds problems, eg, the loss of insects world wide is due to the use of herbicides and insecticides. Tens of billions of small animals (eg mice, rabbits,) are killed each year by farmers to protect crops and vegans eating these crops then illogically rant about the killing of a much smaller number of cows/sheep to feed non-vegans.

      As an aside, the animal with the highest CH4 emission is termites, both by total species production and when looking at a kg of termite biomass as compared to a kg of bovine biomass. The conversion of wood-pulp (lignin) to sugar by the bacteria in a termite's gut is the source.

I know current times are tough with a high cost of living, but if the message is it adds 10cents to the cost of bread, but solves a big issue, then I'm definitely in. Alternatively, it could mean countries subsidising farmers to use the slow release fertilisers.

Bread is not a problem, animal products are much more land, water and fertilizer intensive than plant based ones.

It has nothing to do with beef and everything to do with keeping the public ignorant to the source of the issues. Plenty of farmers around the world using all sorts of natural faming methods and using permaculture systems to properly manage their land. There's no secret that the people running them systems easily out produce the conventional brainwashed farmers that throw chemical fertilizers on their land and then cry about the cost of the pesticides they have to use to stop their weak crops from dying.

      This is where I have been saying for years this zeitgeist is wrong,
      Beef's main diet is grass, usually on non arable land, or land that doesn't get fertilised.
      Going vegetarian/vegan causes more of the synthetic fertilisers to be used.
      Of what we feed to them as grain it's 15% of the corn crop in USA, 9% beef and 6% to dairy, a lot of place around the world have their beef on pasture and they wouldn't see grain until the got to the yard.
      Nothing beats weather irrigated, self fertilised produce from non arable land that we barely put anything into.
      Over 100 years methane is 28 times worse than CO2, N2O is 298, there is only 5.6 times more methane in the atmosphere.
      Moving to a vegetarian diet, away from beef, would be the opposite advice I would give if we wanted to lower nitrogen emissions.

      It is still a matter of opinion. SHOULD we stop climate change is not a question of objective fact. Science does not tell us what we SHOULD do, only what will happen if we make this or that choice. As Dr. Sabine Hossenfelder puts it, science does not tell us we should not urinate on high voltage wires, it tells us that urine is an excellent conductor.

      The rub for me come is when people start acting like they are some kind of hero here to save the planet. Thats why they have to fixate on "its humans fault".
      Because what we really want is to stagnate the climate and dominate this planets environment so we can extend the rein of humans and the stuff we like. It is a 100% selfish thing. I am all on board for it. But you jave all these people out here pretending like they're some kind of hero here to save the day is kind of off putting.

Ever since mankind emerged from the primitive community, there have always been and will always be consumers of one kind or another.

    2. the medical community as an anesthetic if we used anything else our medical bills would go up if we had to switch to something else.
    forget trying to capture nox for reuse like we can do with refrigerants after coming off the early days of covid we did not want to be around others out of fear of getting infected i doubt that nox can be decontaminated for reuse.
    3. the food embellishment industry would have to raise the cost of whipped cream or redesign the dispenser to use other means to froth the product.
    the best solution is to build a ozone generator in a massive scale to replace the destroyed ozone.
    the real problem is there are still cfc based refrigeration units still in service even today so we would have to do another cash for clunkers program and extend it to non functioning units too in order to get all the cfc based systems out of service.
