Paris climate Agreement and the 1.5 degree thing.

Just for you TrueBrit. I love mushrooms and I would like to show you a man who loves them even more than I do.

Fungi are useful biological controls for pests in crops and urban environments and have been commercially available since 1981. They can be used as herbicides, insecticides and fungicides.

Mushrooms used for packaging.

Yeah. I don't know enough about chemtrails to make any comment on it and hope it wasn't looked at as the specific idea I was proposing as climate control.

a reply to: Antipathy17

no, it has to do with Geo-engineering, which is a real thing, just that it has been mostly hypothetical up till just a few weeks ago. (I personally don't believe in Santa or chemtrails)

I hope we don't ever have to find out what the outcome of screwing around with the environment on that scale might be. We seem to be doing a bang up job of screwing things up as it stands.

Unless you look into how much waste there is in the US alone with regard to food.

I think it is a bit more complicated than it appears. The logistics of transporting food causes waste as does selling and preparing it, better to throw away questionable food than poison your costumers. However we have not considered the production of livestock feed. How much does the US grow for livestock feed?

And from one of your link's sources;

Vast quantities of fresh produce grown in the US are left in the field to rot, fed to livestock or hauled directly from the field to landfill

The Guardian
So not all of that food is wasted. I assume the percentage of waste from your source doesn't account in livestock feed. Considering that then a 10% reduction in produce becomes a very large amount which I'm sure offsets their statistics.

I was just trying to make the point that we waste an awful lot of food here.

Trump has pulled the plug on the Paris Accord. FABULOUS news.
Good speech too, highlighting that the agreement actually did almost nothing for the environment anyway.

a reply to: UKTruth

I will be interested to hear how Trumps views evolve and what direction he decides to take with all this. I doubt very seriously it's over. And as with this thread, the discussion might finally be able to be had, as long as people are willing to listen to each other and quit trying to win debates by belittling the opponent with things like "the science is settled".

a reply to: UKTruth

I was expecting us to pull out, and that's one more campaign promise fulfilled. I'm also glad he didn't completely c lose the door to future negotiations. I'd like to see a global agreement that expands use of modern technology for atmospheric cleaning... that would actually benefit the US, since we developed a great deal of that technology.

Fighting pollution (sulfates, sulfides, nitrates, nitrites, etc.) is a good thing. Trying to claim carbon dioxide is a pollutant is not.
