Limited carbon sequestration potential from global ecosystem restoration - Nature Geoscience The maximum carbon sequestration potential from global terrestrial ecosystem restoration efforts until 2100 is 96.9 Gt, which is equivalent to 3.7–12.0% of anthropogenic emissions until then, accordin...

This paper is getting attention for suggesting ecosystem restoration won't help with mitigation, but restoration is still *critical* for adaptation.

Restoring coastal wetlands helps reduce risks from sea level rise and hurricanes, restoring urban forests helps reduce risks from extreme heat, etc...

Making your Unsubscribe link have almost no contrast difference with the background is so sleazy. You can do better, #PressCoffee!

Maybe it's more like, "You may as well wear these jeans because it won't make a difference anyway!"

Saying that, "The way you look in our jeans is entirely determined by your body type and has nothing to do with our jeans themselves," is a weird marketing strategy...

Hear me out. Stick 2–Happy Gilmore 3 – the future crossover hole in one?

It might have seemed more fantastic of it weren't for all of the early hype. Might have had the bar set a little high going into it.

It was fine, but I'm surprised to say I think DC had the better superhero movie this summer...

It sounds like you should "Hit It" !

Oh! I assumed that because you were a DISCO fan you were also a SNW fan. It's good!

@mikell.bsky.social Did you totally lose it when you saw who was playing Trelane on ST:SNW?

I have become old, destroyer of cool.

Huh. RoboRock S8 MaxV Ultra is on sale at Amazon. After our old Roomba J7+ stopped holding a charge (even after I replaced the battery), we went looking for a new vac. We have been really happy with the S8 MVU. Much quieter. Better app. Easy to maintain mop water bins. Recommended.

Great resource to connect early career folks with more senior scientists looking to hire postdocs! 🧪

I really can't stand seeing a space after a slash. Why couldn't phones fix their wrapping rules to treat slashes like hyphens and dashes?

I'd be happy if that Teddybears " #Punkrocker " version with #IggyPop goes on heavy rotation this summer after its use in #Superman (quite the needle drop!).

Someone should make a sci-fi TV show about a discovery that LLM's are windows into bizarro universes within some many-worlds multiverse ("Dark Mutton" instead of Apple TV's "Dark Matter"?). Imagine a world where some plausible but completely invented statement would be true. What else would change?

Here, we report a previously ...

Ecological arms race: 🧪
Ants protect trees from caterpillars.
Caterpillars distract ants with nectar.
Trees build physical defenses.
