Experts and activists say biomass is not the climate solution it might appear to be on the surface and is far from being sustainable.

    I’m sorry but the words biomass and sustainable don’t ever really go in the same sentence. Did a fucken Tyrannid write this proposal?

      Just government drones. It works on paper since it’s from renewable sources… And if you squint real hard and don’t look at the big picture of how it’s actually working out (like this article).

About

Biodiversity is a term used to describe the enormous variety of life on Earth. It can be used more specifically to refer to all of the species in one region or ecosystem. Biodiversity refers to every living thing, including plants, bacteria, animals, and humans. Scientists have estimated that there are around 8.7 million species of plants and animals in existence. However, only around 1.2 million species have been identified and described so far, most of which are insects. This means that millions of other organisms remain a complete mystery.

Over generations, all of the species that are currently alive today have evolved unique traits that make them distinct from other species. These differences are what scientists use to tell one species from another. Organisms that have evolved to be so different from one another that they can no longer reproduce with each other are considered different species. All organisms that can reproduce with each other fall into one species. Read more…

Rules

  1. Don’t throw mud. Be kind and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
