Six narratives about Trump’s election
Elections are always complicated things, although pundits sometimes try to pretend that they’re not. In this post I run through some different narratives or ‘explanations’ of Trump’s victory that I’ve noticed or heard since Wednesday and pull out a quote or add some commentary.
The climate blame game -part 1
Rich people emit more carbon dioxide than poor people. Will a national or global re-distribution thus lower emissions? Unfortunately, no. There are other reasons to fight for global equality though.
The Regenerative Agriculture Solution
The Flores González brothers’ revolutionary innovation has been to turn a heretofore indigestible, but massive and accessible, source of fiber, biomass, water, and protein—the agave leaves or pencas—into a valuable animal feed, utilizing the natural process of anaerobic fermentation to transform the plant leaves’ relatively indigestible saponin compounds into digestible carbohydrates and sugar.

What Trump can do to reverse US climate policy − and what he probably can’t change
As the U.S. prepares for another Trump administration, one area unambiguously in the incoming president’s crosshairs is climate policy.
The Danish carbon tax for agriculture is no carbon tax at all
The failure of the Danish climate tax on agriculture is a result of a siloed science and policy with no consideration of the realities of agro-ecosystems. Landscape management need to be multi-faceted and not directed towards just one objective, be it climate regulation, maximum harvest, profit, bio-diversity or tourism.
Why The Climate Crisis Demands More Than Relentless Positivity
When we’re grounded in connection, we can take sustainable action, even when things break down — not because action is the only escape from psychological distress, but because it’s the right thing to do.
