Hi! I work on EU Climate Policy for DG CLIMA @EU_Commission. I've worked on EU greenhouse gas targets, climate neutrality, transport, and now, the EU Emissions Trading System. Here, however, I'm off duty. My employer does not endorse my views. CW: Scatterbrained news addict, highly random interests not limited to things I know about, like #EU #Climate #ClimatePolicy, but include science, world politics, hiking, piano.

Well done!

“Colombia will no longer approve new oil or large-scale mining projects in its Amazon biome, which covers 42% of the nation’s territory, according to a Nov. 13 statement by its environment ministry.”

Never in my life have I encountered a so-called “climate skeptic” who had done even five minutes’ research on what real scientists had to say about his argument.

An online, anonymous, RNG-named meme cow seems particularly unlikely to be a good use of my or my followers’ attention.

So bye bye.

But, for other people reading, here’s what scientists found on that.

The Climate disinformation is going to get so tiresome…which is the point, of course

Rice causes ~12% of methane emissions or 1.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Researchers in China and Sweden cross-bred a variety which could reduce CH4 by 70% while doubling yields!

But it won't grow everywhere, and the scientists have just started registering it.
