Which is that forest restoration is CHEAP largely because sugar is a marginal business that would not survive without incumbent land owners

I understand that response. And I am just as cynical about offsets as you. We purchased the property with our own money earned from working hours. The offset thing is a local indigenous organisation trying to get funding to work on country. I'm sorry it distracted from my message

My partner & I purchased a cane farm. To reveg into lowland rainforest habitat. The actual tree planting stuff is funded by offsets . Given a big urban block is 1/4 acre is it's CHEAP about $6000 per 1/4 if people knew that would they want to help reveg via Kickstarter?

Can they negotiate assistance with snacks?

Chart showing china producing> twice nearest other country (us) cars per year

But they export most of the worlds solar panels, most of the worlds batteries, most of the world's wind turbines and more cars than anyone else ( many/ most electric) . It's how you spend your CO2 that counts. Who is the adult in the room ?

IMOS has sort of been doing this for decades but www.unsw.edu.au/research/oce... built some specialised tech to bring this data into quality QAQC data streams

OH WOW look i'm just an Aussie with an interest in a cane farm i don't know shit about corn except for it is as good as cane at sequestering carbon. for my crew its all about the sugar and i'm like "what about the carbon sequestration potential" are you saying that's already a thing for you

oh please don't mistake me for that guy who says we can keep doing what we doing just plant some corn... no what i'm saying is when "that guy" says oh perhaps we should do some thing about climate change ... ? what plants are good ?? let me ask AI ...then CORN RUSH. my advice buy corn futures

yes but when we wake up to ourselves and ask how the fuck do we sort this shit out? c4 plants like sugarcane and corn. that are most efficient at turning sunlight co2 and water into solid (out of the atmosphere) biomass it will be a good time to be a corn farmer.

imagine if your job, for mossad, was to collect, AND DOCUMENT as much compromat as possible on whoever... ; current ,past ,future potential players. who would such an agent look like and what would happen to them if they got caught .

awesome. i mean once they came up with the name. it was just too good, they had to follow through 😀

the last 20y has been a giant game of musical chairs with fossil fuel companies madly exploiting their reserves as fast as they can to avoid their ones being the stranded assets (this article is from 14y ago !)

i was going to suggest tilt current meter but its already there awesome

we could pack one in each glider crate . we could complete some addition temperature profiles to and from each deployment location and as a bonus the watch could act as a transport logger . logging temperature extremes or mishandling during shipping.

Insiders from O&G engineering companies (my engineering buddies) in Perth discuss this tactic openly

The other one is avoiding their decommissioning responsibility because it's better for the environment to abandon it in place! ISYN

The O&G industry funds a lot of research in western Australia

I think this product is a great fit for "citizens of the great barrier reef" that currently do citizen science . through long term monitoring benthic communities using a database of tourism diver collected images. I've contacted the CEO to see if they are intersted i CCd you guys using 🌊@TS.com

My thought was that you'd lower the watch over the side with a fishing rod (perhaps with some kind of protective cage in case of interest by bitey things) . ie no diver involved . and complete a cast in few minutes. is that the sort of use you had in mind?

Awesome! we want to put casting instruments in the hands of tourism operators is the inbuilt temp sensor fast enough for you to get an ocean profile (with depth) by casting your smart watch. i know some sensors average the up and down casts to help overcome the temp sensor time lag?

in defence of engineers

this was before climate change & globalisation

@ the time concern about CO2 emmisions wasn't a thing & coal just cost what it cost a govt employee to get it to the furnace. not what a foreign buyer might pay

there is a debt in the built environment & this is an example

its a woodworking trap. now you need to "buy a lathe to fix your plane" (you need to read it to the same rhythm as "she swallowed a spider to catch the fly" )

my hunch is they were desperate. someone may have the reciepts on that $80m deal and they plan to drop them at the most damaging time which makes angus a gamble

The $80m water deal that has provided no water - Michael West The deal, signed off by by then-agriculture minister Barnaby Joyce, had been rejected twice and involved a company that Angus Taylor was once a director of.

Why are we pretending the biggest controversy in Angus's past is Clover Moore's travel documents & not the $80,000,000 of tax payer money funnelled into Caymen Islands linked Est Aust AG from questionable water buybacks (why have a business in the Caymen's?) michaelwest.com.au/the-80m-wate...

exactly!

sounds more like a "surrender deal"

and for what? A security "guarantee" from Trump...

meanwhile china is hitting manufacturing out of the park. demolishing western energy industries with cheap renewables

The auto industry is next & IMHO is a dead man walking they just don't it know yet

& now trump has handed them: research, technical innovation, education and medical technology
