Also this. while planting is good and well, it's hilarious to think that it's the magic bullet to an insanely complex issue (with next to no social buy in, sadly).
if we increase our soil carbon by 1% globally, we'll have saved the planet!
Lol. lmao even. 1% is 10,000 ppm, which equates to 24,000 kg/ha of organic CARBON across the board. Conversion rates organic matter to organic carbon are slow, and much, much lower than 1:1.... now you begin to see the problem...
Yup, it's mostly greenwashing to distract people from the need for any real action (abolishing capitalism, for starters).
