Just an observation... To make a better compost, take it off the stones and add some holes in the bottom to let earthworms and microbes in from the soil to help make the compost "better" with their castings etc.

Unless your James Hansen, he's been warning of "faster then expected" for a long time.

>Helena Horton's opening sentence in this report is a model of how journalists should write about climate change, informing us not only of what's happening, but why it's happening
Not sure I agree that's what she has done?
Those are symptoms of our actions so they deserve some mention of course but if she'd said the ocean is heating from the deliberate policy choices of governments the majority elected (poor acess to public and alternate transport etc) and the everyday high emitting lifestyles of the worlds wealthiest 10% then I'd say yes, that's how journalists (not scinetiests) should write about it.
It's NOT being communicated that this destruction is wrought by deliberate policy choices and the actions of a small minority. To have any chance we have to leverage action againt them by how you vote to force them to stop destroying us all. The top 1% have double the emissions of the bottom 50%, that's who is causing this!

>For me, the answer is No.
It's not just you, the IPCC also understands this and its not just particulate pollution. One estimate Insaw indicated a billion tonnes of CO2 just to mine the Lithium (doing vast ecological damage on the way) other issues include urban sprawl leading to biodiversity loss, and endless concrete and asphalt for long commutes, all needing massive amounts of GHGs to construct. The urban heat island effects adding about 6c to many cities because they are full of concrete and asphalt and not bike ways, trees and shrubs with 15 minute medium density cities
>but also makes clear that simply replacing gasoline with batteries won't be enough: cities must also dramatically curtail the use of automobiles and avoid "locking in" future emissions with more car-dependent infrastructure.
And I kow voice read Greta's Clinate Book, and the on point excert from one expert contributor.

Here's a better way

Ecars distarct from real solutions, I have still not figured out if proponents are self entitled, or just delusional ? Aside from edge use cases of course such as shared ecars in rural areas perhaps, we shoukd be able to reduce usage by 80% or so.
