Climate cost study authors accuse Bjørn Lomborg of misinterpreting results | Graham Readfearn | The Guardian

jinak je to obecne problematika dezinformaci (fosilniho, chemickyho) agro prumyslu, nemyslim ze je tak zmapovana jako problematika klima dezinformaci.

problem je, ze lidi typu monbiot jsou zgreenwashovany jinou vetvi toho agro komplexu a myslej si, ze konaj dobro. jenze je to komplexnejsi a reseni pro ekosystem (coz neni vyroba potravin) nelezi v prunyslovym zemedelstvi, ale v komplexnejsim managementu ekosystemu

TUHO: "as only under very specific conditions can they help sequester carbon"

- exactly, a o to kazdymu jde to zjistit :))

problem tohohle smeru zkoumani je co ma za cil a jakou ma metodu. jako vsechno zkoumani, je to v tom provedeni netrivialni. pokud ti jde o vec samu, jako treba me, nemuzes to plne prevadet na nejakou socialni, medialni, greenwashungovou atp. problematiku. v druhy rade muzes, ale neni to klic napr. k budovani pudy.

nejuprimnejsi jsou jednotlivi farmari, ne korporace, ne carbon credit programy. uzka skupina lidi, ktery maji specificky zamereni, vysokou ekosystemovou gramotnost. a jsou v roli toho hyperpredatora, o ekosystemu rozhodujou.

co jsem poznal lidi okolo savory institutu, nemel jsem o jejich motivacich pochybnost. se savorym jsem mluvil jednou a skutecne i ve svym veku je ochotnej poslouchat :)

ta pr9blematika.financializace ekosystemu je zajimava. a predevsim regenerativni farmari by si prali, aby ta slova, ten narativ nebyl totalne zgreenwashovanej

TUHO: okolo zdraveho jadra krouzi supi, jako vzdy ,)

mas odkaz na vztah savory institute a ten carbon credit program?

TUHO:
This report finds that better management of grass-fed livestock, while worthwhile in and of itself, does not offer a significant solution to climate change as only under very specific conditions can they help sequester carbon. This sequestering of carbon is even then small, time-limited, reversible and substantially outweighed by the greenhouse gas emissions these grazing animals generate. The report concludes that although there can be other benefits to grazing livestock - solving climate change isn’t one of them.

hmmm, shit. tak co, je regenerativni farmareni brilantni propracovanej greenwash?


Shortly after arriving in the States, Savory began publishing his theories on ranching. Distinct from established rotational methods, Savory claimed his "holistic" techniques could not only allow grass to recover, but heal ecosystems and green deserts. The holistic methods were recoined as "regenerative" by Robert Rodale in the 1980s and steadily gained popularity, securing Savory extensive government contracts in the Reagan administration during the ranching industry's "sagebrush rebellion" movement to privatize public land in the Western United States.



It was the TED Talk in 2013, however, that really launched the regenerative ranching myth in the public imagination. Corporations like Shell Oil and McDonald's quickly realized the marketing potential and injected tens of millions into public relations. A decade on, media still credulously trumpet Savory's claims about cows saving the world, which were adapted for agribusiness marketing the world over. Even prestigious publications like the Pulitzer Center stenographed advertising narratives lauding his tracking skills, glossing over their origin.



Allan Savory and his nonprofit institute work with ranching industry associations and beef marketing campaigns around the world, such as the General Mills-backed documentary Kiss the Ground, in which he explains his belief that poverty is a consequence of poor land management. Recently, a massive carbon credit scheme associated with the Savory Institute was exposed for selling fraudulent carbon offsets and brutalizing Maasai pastoralists - ostensibly for not herding cattle holistically, but more likely to clear them out of touristic areas.

But what the industry is doing with its unprecedented profits over the past 12 months has changed my mind.

Let’s remember what the industry could and should be doing with those trillions of dollars: stepping away from any new oil and gas exploration, investing heavily into renewable energies and accelerating carbon capture and storage technologies to clean up existing fossil fuel use. Also, cutting methane emissions from the entire production line, abating emissions along their value chain and facilitating access to renewable energy for those still without electricity who number in their millions.

Instead, what we see is international oil companies cutting back, slowing down or, at best, painfully maintaining their decarbonisation commitments, paying higher dividends to shareholders, buying back more shares and – in some countries – lobbying governments to reverse clean energy policies while paying lip service to change.

On top of that, the industry as a whole is making plans to explore new sources of polluting fossil fuels and, in the United States, intimidating stakeholders who have been moving towards environmental, social and governance responsibility.
