Great to see @Science sharing our expedition to Patagonia and talking about mycorrhizal fungi.

Sadly, the data are clear: The only really “climate friendly” beef is none at all.

(Not to mention the tremendous impacts beef has on land, water, biodiversity, etc.)

We need to seriously rethink our diets and food waste, and stop greenwashing. sentientmedia.org/climate-friend…

NGOs are pursuing financial engineering— debt swaps, parametric insurance, carbon deals, blended capital, you name it — to get more capital and lower cost capital. Here’s our first take on how best to do - open.substack.com/pub/marktercek…

What would you do in this situation? 🐋

Beef emits 31 times more CO₂ per calorie of food than tofu does. By cooking so many cows, humans are cooking themselves, too. Forgoing steaks may be one of the most efficient ways to reduce our carbon footprint econ.st/49KSAb1 👇

Merlin Sheldrake explains how fungal systems store carbon, bolster biodiversity, and more. Also, why some fungi produce psilocybin and how he wrote his great book “Entangled Life.” Go Merlin! open.substack.com/pub/marktercek…

Booker T. & The M.G.’s - Green Onions

Four musicians enter the studio to cut a jingle for a health tonic; end the day with a bar of gold. A 17 year-old Booker on keys; with a rhythm section as tight as a submarine’s window.

Coolness personified.

Excited to see this new film out in the world

“Understanding which mycorrhizal fungi survive in the harsh temperatures there may help scientists determine how these fungal communities might adapt to the climate crisis as droughts, fires and desertification become more prevalent.”
