A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
The easiest is to stop converting more land to animals use.
But 6% of global emissions are from feeding crops to animals.
Aside from reducing our emissions by 16%, meaning it would be about as useful as removing all emissions from the transport sector.
Laughable, but if if it where true it could easily be solved with reintroducing predators and rewilding the artificial grass lands.
What is more polluting? Animals shiting in the forrest every day at a different place or month worth of stored manure deposited on one field in a day, with barely any plant at the moment? Which of those will naturally break down and which will be washed into the ground water?
Where are the huge amounts of biomass fermenting into methane? Some swamps and every farm.
