Just to be clear, the ONLY way to halt climate breakdown is to stop burning fossil fuel.

Forget carbon offsets, negative emissions technologies, grass-fed beef, and even EVs, planting trees, and nuclear power. These are scams, distractions, and bandaids.
I'll admit it felt weird to say planting trees is a "bandaid." I love trees as much as any mammal who is not a squirrel. They are beautiful souls. You would chuckle to see me plant and tend my fruit trees.

But I stand behind it. We can't tree-plant our way out of this one.
I should have been MORE clear 🙂
(1) What I meant by "forget" is, roughly, "please don't fixate on"
(2) I'm not saying all of these things are scams, but I do hate offsets
(3) These are just random examples
(4) Habitat regeneration is also key, but here I'm focusing on climate
