One investigation concluded that over 90 percent of carbon credits issued for #rainforest protection by the largest carbon credit certification body “had no benefit to the climate.” Two reports published in 2023 found that credits for forest-based projects in North America, South America, Africa and Asia may in fact #increase net #emissions

#American #Cancer Society found #exponential #increase in cancers in #young #generations of Americans.
... people born in 1975 experience nearly twice the rate of small-intestinal cancers as people born in 1955 and those born in 1990 have rates nearly four times what they were for people born in the middle of the 20th century. You can see the same general trajectory for kidney, liver, pancreas, and bone marrow cancers. #Diet, #environment implicated.

Beim INCREASECSA Experiment bei dem es um den Anbau alter Bohnensorten geht, ist die industrielle Vergleichssorte MECCEARLY (die jeder Teilnehmer bekommt) quasi als Erste im Ziel.

Zweieinhalb Monate nach der Saat sind die Schoten reif und die Pflanze fängt an mit dem Welken.

Das heißt aber auch, daß es da keinen Nachschub mehr gibt. Die anderen Sorten lassen sich mehr Zeit und die Pflanzen sind viel größer.
