@weplanetint.bsky.socialWePlanet's @hiddemhigh.bsky.social is a microbiologist to documentary filmmaker. He visited Bangladesh to speak with farmers about their use of a new GMO crop called bt brinjal, a pest-resistant eggplant.
To support GMOs is to support farmers, argues Hidde.
@weplanetint.bsky.socialThere are plenty of technologies to make the production of food and goods more sustainable, writes WePlanet's @hiddemhigh.bsky.social, but they all consume a lot of electricity.
So, it is crucial to start generating more energy – much more.

@weplanetint.bsky.socialA severe slowdown or collapse of the AMOC would disrupt Europe’s agriculture, infrastructure, welfare and economy on a profound scale. A patch of water nicknamed the "cold blob" just south of Greenland could be a warning sign of things to come.

@weplanetint.bsky.socialPet food could be the secret weapon to reducing deforestation. WePlanet’s @joelscotthalkes.bsky.social explains in this video, that this land-saving approach would be achieved by simply by replacing the traditional bits of meat in the kibble for Mr. Sprinkles 🐈 with lab-grown meat instead.
@weplanetint.bsky.socialSeason 4 of Saving the World from Bad Ideas is going live tomorrow Sep 24! ⭐️ Host Mark Lynas is joined by scientist Joshua Elliott to discuss Earth’s tipping points and rapidly changing climate systems — and how human intervention like climate stabilisation — is a becoming a moral imperative.
@weplanetint.bsky.socialWePlanet’s Tea Törmänen is in Baden for discussions on Switzerland’s nuclear future—as the country heads towards a referendum on whether to allow new nuclear power plants.
Watch Tea explain a few of the many environmental advantages nuclear energy has to offer. ⬇️
@weplanetint.bsky.socialNuclear energy is out here being demonized, meanwhile some of the top climate scientists—those who are meant to provide guidance in our fight against global heating—are being influenced by the biggest players contributing to our planet's ecological downfall.
@weplanetint.bsky.socialEurope is getting hotter, and seven charts from the BBC show just how dramatically its climate has changed. Read the story here.
@weplanetint.bsky.socialEurope’s food supply is dangerously exposed. Heatwaves & droughts are damaging harvests, while wars & geopolitical tensions disrupt the trade routes we rely on.
Tell the European Commission: invest in resilient food production and reduce Europe’s dangerous dependence on imports. shorturl.at/FPIh0

@weplanetint.bsky.socialThank you for being interested! Sorry it's not showing up for you, that's strange...
@weplanetint.bsky.socialWildfires in regions not normally prone to burning can cause damage beyond what we see.
Among what was lost in the wildfires that swept through Wales this summer — a region not accustomed to fire — was something that can take centuries to replace: topsoil.
