Soil modeling Hawai`i is under-developed => new nested modeling approach. Soil health is beyond carbon modeling => new soil health index accounts for ag history and soil mineralogy.

California Sues Big Oil /4
When the world looks back to Humankind's transition to a #ClimateSmart world, the #CaliforniaLawsuit will be one of those ticks on the timeline. I'm not sure its significance can be overstated. One more nail-in-the coffin of a still ravenously profiting #BigOil.

"New Study Shows Impacts of Cutting Meat and Dairy Consumption in Half."
Most Americans would also be healthier if they cut their consumption of meat & dairy. This proposition is more palatable for many ppl than going vegan: Such a dietary shift could also lead to a 31% reduction in AG GHG emissions by 2050, the study found *the equivalent of not burning 1.8T lbs. of coal/year b/w 2020-50.
Top grants have been awarded to large corp interests: Tyson, JBS, Cargill, & others underwritten by #BigAg. The program is under renewed scrutiny from watchdog groups, which claim the dept has provided lim. public info. re the selection process for apps., contracts being negotiated with grant recipients, & the criteria for what exactly constitutes #ClimateSmart. “We don’t need #USDA facilitating a pay-to-pollute carbon scheme that only goes to benefit big ops."-. #Climate https://prospect.org/environment/2023-09-01-big-ag-opens-another-vein-of-public-funding/

Can Biden’s climate-smart agriculture program live up to the hype?
https://thefern.org/2023/07/can-bidens-climate-smart-agriculture-program-live-up-to-the-hype/
(Sylvia Secchi says it's greenwash, and she's usually right.)
From #OrphanOilWells to #ToxicTailingsLeaks, #AlbertaEnergyRegulator is under much needed scrutiny these days. The phrase #CapturedByIndustry is gaining steam. How do we ensure the exact same thing doesn't happen with #LithiumMining? Or ANY of the #ClimateSmart solutions?
We'll ask Canadian tech writer #ParisMark these questions and more on the next #ClimateOfChange, I hope you'll join us.

It's fair to say climate folk are somewhat divided on the role #ElectricVehicles will play in humankind's transition to a #ZeroEmission #ClimateSmart world. ACOC host Bentley is going to dig into it with Canadians tech writer and '#TechWontSaveUs' podcast host @parismarx on the next show!

After #COP27 there is agreement to #TransformFinance, #ReduceVulnerability, #BuildResilience, invest in addressing #LossAndDamage & in #ClimateSmart #FoodSystems. Non-market approaches to international climate cooperation could be an engine for all of it. https://resilienceintel.org/bold
