"Can’t we just eat the fossil fuels?” Ian McKay had been asking this question for a while, and I answered it in the way that any of us standard-issue humans might: “Ian, that is a terrible idea.” The idea had occurred to him after revisiting Odum’s ‘potatoes made of oil’
These so-called "scientists" aren't even following true science. Stop the disgusting margarine nonsense and look at the natural order. Support small farms and sustainable, chemical-free growing practices that include non-vax, non-chemical, natural lives for the animals as well.
Um, Butter from fossil fuel carbon sources or natural gas haas a name. Margarine. It's been around for awhile, whether made from plant based fats or otherwise.
Hi there - I'm contacting you from The Week Junior magazine in the UK. I've emailed hello@savor-it.com today with an urgent press images request - I've also reached out to Kathleen via LinkedIn. Please could I get a response as soon as possible? Our deadline is Friday 12 July. Thanks so much.
Had the same thought, but I think that's because we're measuring global warming from "pre-industrial" levels, but a huge amount of the forest clearing took place *before* the industrial revolution, and thus isn't counted in the way we normally represent global warming.
Thanks for reading---and sorry for not seeing these comments earlier!
Just wanted to confirm Dylan's read here: "1-2 degrees C" is referring to *estimates* we've seen for global warming due to anthropogenic land clearing over the last ~10,000 years. Refs 6 and 7 go into these estimates in more detail.
A relevant excerpt from Ref 7 referencing William Ruddiman's work:
"By the time the industrial revolution got under way, we had already raised the global temperature by an average of 0.8°C and by as much as 2 °C at high latitudes, he proposes - enough to deflect an impending ice age. Today's winters would be as much as 7 degrees cooler at high latitudes if it were not for the pre-industrial input of greenhouse gases, he says."

Horrible artificial processed food. Fats from beef and pigs nourish us and provide fat-soluble vitamins A and D that our bodies know what to do with.
Is this study based on regenerative farming practices or conventional farming practices?

Interesting post!! Congrats on the new paper, look forward to reading.
Wondering if “1-2 degrees C” is a typo since current warming is around 1.2 from all sources?
