"No. Aviation fuel from waste; hydrogen as aviation fuel; battery powered airliners; these are all conscious, deliberate, intentional, damnable lies. But they are a special kind of lies. They are in fact, two distinct special kinds of lies. In the first place, they are lies which are true at the margins."

"So, yes, if we want to fly, say, half a dozen long distance flights a day, worldwide, we can certainly do that on aviation fuel made from waste. We can make some aviation fuel from waste. We can make some aviation fuel literally from shit. It isn't impossible."

The amount of aviation fuel consumed in a year is more than three times the calorific value of the total amount of food eaten by all humans anywhere.

This is a step towards an argument about why we can't have 'green' aviation.

Please feel free to check my numbers, blog post later today.

EDIT: I'm wrong, it's about half the amount of food eaten by humans.

#Reforestation stands out among plant-based climate-mitigation strategies as most beneficial for wildlife biodiversity

In the global effort to combat #ClimateChange, large-scale, plant-based strategies such as planting #forests and cultivating #biofuels are an increasingly important part of countries' plans to reduce their overall #carbon #emissions, but a study in the journal Science finds that well-intended strategies could have unforeseen impacts on #biodiversity and that, in general, restoring forests has the most beneficial effect on #wildlife.

"Reforestation is an obvious 'win-win' for biodiversity," said Dr. Beaury, an ecologist and biogeographer whose expertise includes invasive plants. "Restoring lost forest provides habitat as well as reduces the impacts of #climate change."

A new study by a New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) scientist and her colleagues in Science finds that, of the three large-scale, plant-based climate mitigation strategies, reforestation stands out as most beneficial for biodiversity. In addition to reforestation (restoring forests in places where they have historically grown), the team of scientists modeled the impacts of afforestation (adding forests in places like grasslands and savannas) and bioenergy cropping (farming plants such as switchgrass for renewable energy) on more than 14,000 animal species.
