The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed. This means that all cooling systems reject heat as they work by removing heat from a medium in a given space. What prevents us from using this rejected heat for direct thermal applications is that the temperature is too low to be useful. The low temperature of rejected heat from cooling systems requires us to use an energy consuming heat pump to upgrade the heat to a temperature that is suitable for direct thermal applications. What if instead we choose to redesign cooling systems to reject heat at higher temperatures so that could avoid the energy penalty of a heat pump.

This is the barocaloric cooling cycle. This technology is already energy efficient and F gas free. This technology could act as the basis for developing cooling systems that reject heat at higher temperatures to enable them to function as useful heat sources

If we choose to pursue this in the future then we will end up making cooling systems dual use

1. They provide cooling for refrigeration, air conditioning, gas liquefaction etc

2. They produce usable heat for direct thermal applications

This could eliminate the need for separate cooling and heating systems.

If we pursue this then it will have the following benefits

1. Elimination of natural gas for direct thermal applications

2. Reduction of freshwater consumption by cooling towers to reject heat from cooling systems in industrial applications

3. Elimination of all the costs associated with having cooling and heating systems being two separate systems

4. Reduction of energy cost

Improving cooling systems to reject heat at higher temperatures will enable rejected heat from cooling systems to work as a decarbonization solution.

I predict that the setting on Pandora will shift from being like colonial era North America to being more akin to Europe during the Cold War. I imagine the RDA becomes the Soviet Union and the Mangkwan becomes a satellite state akin to East Germany. If more antagonistic Na'vi clans are introduced then there would be more equlivances to Soviet satellite states on Pandora. What I predict is that there will be an antagonistic alliance on Pandora consisting of the RDA and multiple antagonistic Na'vi clans which would be like how in Europe during ww2 the Warsaw Pact consisted on the Soviet Union and all its Eastern European satellite states. The only difference would be that the ideology would be anthroceterism rather than Marxism Leninism.

Is this setup I imagine an Earth based anti-RDA resistance group and multiple Earth based eco-militant groups being sent to Pandora by the Interplanetary Commerce Administration (ICA) to act as proxies to keep the RDA in check. These groups will be given extensive support from the ICA to become full scale armed factions capable of armed conflict on Pandora agains the RDA and the antagonistic Na'vi clans its aligned with. Essentially the ICA backed anti-RDA Earth based groups would become equivalent to the US and Canada in NATO with NATOs Western European members being equivalent to all the protagonist Na'vi clans on Pandora.

Here is how I imagine the NATO and Warsaw Pact equivalents on Pandora

NATO equlivant alliance:

US and Canada -> ICA backed Earth based anti-RDA resistance group + ICA backed Earth based eco militant groups

Western European members of NATO -> Every protagonist Na'vi clan on Pandora

I also imagine Moon colony separatists and Mars colony separatists (human Moon and Mars colonies are confirmed in the Avatar lore) also being sent to Pandora by the ICA to act as proxies against the RDA to keep it in check.

Warsaw Pact equivalent alliance:

Soviet Union -> RDA

Eastern European members of the Warsaw Pact -> Mangkwan clan + other antagonistic Na'vi clans if introduced in the future

Perhaps the RDA could bring terrorist groups and criminal groups (consisting of criminals like the mugger who killed Tom Sully) to Pandora from Earth to act as proxies against the protagonist alliance if the RDA feels like they need more allies on Pandora.

Overall I can imagine the narrative shifting from colonial era America style colonization to something more akin to Europe during the Cold War.

Would you like this change in narrative style? Do you think it will communicate the theme of the Avatar universe better? Let me know in the comments.

The second law of thermodynamics states that on the classical scale of physics no heat engine can convert 100% of its input heat into another form of energy. This is why all thermal power plants reject a portion of their heat. This heat is normally rejected via evapotranspiration or convection into bodies of water which causes thermal pollution and wastes usable energy. I have an idea for how to use this rejected heat.

My idea is to use the rejected heat from thermal power plants to heat anaerobic digesters in order to keep them at the optimal temperature for biogas production. The anaerobic digestion of food waste is a common way to produce biogas which is then upgraded into biomethane and injected into existing gas grids to replace fossil gas. Normally a small portion of the product biogas is burned on site to keep the anaerobic digesters at the optimal temperature. That won't need to be done as much anymore if we instead use the rejected heat from thermal power plants to heat anaerobic digesters.

Biomethane plants like the one shown in this picture normally use a small portion of their biogas output as fuel to keep the digesters at the optimal temperature

If we instead uses the rejected heat from thermal power plants to heat anaerobic digesters then we will yield the following benefits

1. Less thermal pollution

2. Less cooling water consumption

3. No biogas needs to be burned to heat the anaerobic digesters

We could yield benefits for both the thermal power plant and biomethane plant by pairing them in this way.

I think that my idea is a best fit for the following types of thermal power plant

1. nuclear power plants

2. geothermal power plants

3. concentrating solar power plants (with TES)

For all three types of power plant I imagine my idea reducing the heat rejection burden and making biomethane production more efficient.

I imagine the heat transfer being done with insulated hot water lines in the near future. In the longer term I think it would be better if insulated solid carbon nanotube heat pipes are used. My idea would involve locating biomethane plants right next door to thermal power plants to minimize the distance the low grade heat needs to travel. The visual impact of my idea would be that thermal power plants and biomethane plants would look the exact same as they do now but they would be located right next to each other.

Anyways that my idea. What do you think? Share your thoughts in the comments section.

I just got back from China to visit my relatives who live in Jilin province. I stayed in China for more than a week. I had been to Beijing, Songyuan, Tianjin, Nanjing, Hangzhou and Shanghai during my trip to China.

A talking point of CCP sympathizers is that Chinese students are better at English than western students because the CCP education system is "superior". I can prove that is wrong because I spoke in person with a person who were educated by the CCPs "superior" education system. This person was my father's cousins daughter who is currently studying for the civil servant exam in China to become a police officer.

My cousins father's daughter was not fluent in English at all. She only knew a few words and could not hold a meaningful conversation. I had to struggle with my poor Chinese to communicate with her. I used Google Translate as my primary means of communication because my Chinese was just as bad as her English. If the CCP education system was truly "superior" then this would not have happened.

Besides my fathers cousins daughter there where several other people who where educated by the CCPs "superior" education system who are not fluent in English

- My aunt

- The daughters brother (currently in college)

I had to struggle with my poor Chinese and use Google Translate to talk to both of the people listed above as well.

The idea that Chinese students are "better" at English that western students because the CCP education system is "superior" is absolute BS. This is a ridiculous fabrication made up by people who have no qualms with lying in the name of the CCP regime. I myself have spoken to people education by the "superior" education system and they are not "better" at English in any way.

I want to make it clear that Asia's "education" systems are not education systems but rather Human Capital Manufacturing (HCM) systems. HCM is not education because its purpose is not to unlock each persons potential. HCMs purpose is to forcibly attempt to turn human beings into disposable assets on mass. HCM systems exist across the world in certain countries but in Asia they are the most prominent. HCM systems serve institutions. In South Korea they serve the Chaebols, In Japan they serve the Keiretsus, and In China they serve the Chinese state (The Chinese Communist Party). HCM systems are fundamentally incompatible with human rights since the only way they can work is through mass systemic dehumanization of students, teachers and everyone else involved in education.

Now with that out of the way I will continue to what I have to say.

Both of the family members I will refer to in this post are from the city of Songyuan in Jilin province. I will not refer to either of them by name. These two members of my extended family have both gone through the entire Chinese education system, passed the Gaokao and have gone to college in China. These people have told me what they think of the CCPs education system in their own words in Mandarin when I was speaking to them in person.

Here is what they had to say

- My aunt said: "In China autistic people cannot go to college" when I was talking to her about education in China.

- My fathers cousins daughter said: "I agree with you" when I told her through Google Translate "I think that China's education system is intended for the mass production of human capital rather than unlocking each persons potential"

These people are not "uneducated westerners" because they are Chinese citizens who were educated in China via the CCPs "education" system.

The truth about the CCPs "education" system is not something "China haters yap about to hate on China for being better than the west". It's something which people who have gone through said "education" system are willing to admit when asked. Anyone who "disagrees" is openly whitewashing the mass systemic dehumanization of over a billion people.

So to anyone who still defends the CCPs "education" system then all I have to say is SHAME ON YOU. If you don't want to acknowledge the reality that China's "education" system is actually systemic dehumanization of everyone involved in education then that is not my problem. If you want to call mass systemic dehumanization "education" then that is your problem.

Let me define what "human capital manufacturing" and "education" mean for those of you who don't know

1. Education: The act of unlocking ones unique potential to contribute to civilization
2. Human Capital Manufacturing (HCM): The act of attempting to turn human beings into disposable obedient standardized assets to be used, abused and then discarded once no longer exploitable

Education recognizes the fact that human beings are human beings. HCM does the opposite. HCM treats human beings as raw material to be manufactured into disposable obedient standardized assets to be controlled.

HCM is fundamentally anti-human. Under HCM human beings are inherently seen as raw material rather than human beings. HCM seeks to use this "raw material" to manufacture disposable economic assets which are obedient, standardized, and enduring of exploitation. HCM then does "quality control" after the manufacturing process to sort its "human products" into people to go on to be exploited (those with high entrance exam scores) and people to be rejected (those with low entrance exam scores). HCM is conducted through dehumanization, abuse and psycological manipulation with total impunity. HCM is fundamentally anti-human because it by nature refuses to see human beings as human beings. HCM is in itself a massive violation of human rights.

Many countries have HCM systems instead of education systems. These countries can be sorted into two categories. The first catagory is countries which retain their HCM systems because their domestic institutions rely on them. The second category is countries which retain their HCM systems because they struggle to transition from HCM to education. The latter category is more likely to transition from HCM to education than the former because there is no institution actively keeping the HCM system in place in the latter.

Here are some countries of the first category

- China (HCM system kept in place by Chinese Communist Party)

- South Korea (HCM system kept in place by Chaebols)

- Japan (HCM system kept in place by the Keiretsu)

- Singapore (HCM system kept in place by Singapore's authoritarian regime)

These countries will need to disband the power of their respective dominating institutions in order to transition from HCM to education.

Here are some countries of the second category

- India

(HCM system originally created for and by the British Colonial regime)

- African states

(HCM systems originally created for and by European colonial regimes)

These countries face no institutional barrier to transitioning from HCM to education

The right direction would be for all countries that currently use HCM to transition to education. This will be difficult but doing the right thing often is difficult. Transitioning from HCM to education will finally give students, teachers, and everyone else involved in education the rights and dignity they deserve as human beings.

CCP supporters are unapologetic deniers and whitewashers of the Chinese Communist Parties various human rights violations. This makes it clear that these people have absolutely zero moral compass because the only things they see as "right" are material gain and shallow emotional satisfaction. This makes me want to ask a question.

My question is "What else are CCP supporters willing to defend if they have the audacity to defend the CCP?"

I am genuinely curious what proportion of CCP supporters defend

1. The Holocaust

2. Atikon T4

3. The Serbian genocide of Albanians during the Kosovo war

4. Chattel slavery in pre-civil war America

5. Britain's colonial rule of India

6. The systemic exploitation of improvised people in Victorian Britain

7. Jim Crow

8. Apartheid

9. The Congo Free State

10. Soviet gulags during Stalins reign

11. The Holodomor

12. Mao Zedongs various human rights violations during his reign

My personal feeling is that a signifiant proportion of CCP sympathizers also defend one of more of the historic events listed above because they view them as nessicary actions to achieve material gain or emotional satisfaction.

Do you of you have any answers? Let me know in the comments.

I imagine Quairtch and Varang having a child. This child will become the Avatar franchises first child antagonist. I imagine this child living at Bridgehead where he is taken care of by Varang and Quaritch. The child eats at the Bridgehead cafeteria and receives medical care in the Bridgehead med bay. This child is the arch nemesis of the Sully Kids and Spider.

Here is my idea for how James Cameron and his team could write this character

Personality:

- Anxious,

- Immature

- Hates nature

- Hates Eywa

- Likes human technology (obsessed with guns and flamethrowers)

- Likes human culture more than Na'vi culture

Nicknames

- "Little Ash Buddy" by low ranking RDA personnel (miners, Tulkun hunters, SecOps grunts, technicians, etc)

- "The Small One" by Mangkwan Na'vi

- "Red Boy" by Parker Selfridge

- "Quaritch Jr" by the RDA chairman

Favorite things to do:

- Making crayon drawings making fun of the Na'vi, the Sully family and Ian Gavin

- Shooting Pandoran wildlife with an M69-AR for fun

- Bullying and tormenting Na'vi kids he finds when venturing out of Bridgehead

- Vandalizing and stealing from Na'vi villages

- Playing golf with Parker Selfridge

- Watching CET-Ops Tulkun hunts (Scoresby takes him)

Relationships:

- Quaritch: Closest parent who he spends the most time with

- Varang: More distant parent who he respects but does not prefer to spend time with because she's not as "cool" as the other adults

- Lyle Wainfleet: Sees him as a cool uncle

- Parker Selfridge: Bonds with him over golf and showing his crayon drawings

- Mick Scoresby: Bonds with him over CET-Ops Tulkun hunting excursions

- Major Bukowski: Bonds with him over small chat, peaches and his crayon art

- RDA Chairman: Sees him as a grandpa figure

If I had to name this character I would name him Emmet Quaritch.

What do you think? Do you think James Cameron should write such a character for the future sequels? Le me know in the comments.

Short termism is the primary driver of environmental harm in the 21st century. Decades of peer reviewed and tested science have made clear the consequences of our actions on the environment. In the 21st century environmental science has made clear that our mindset towards the environment needs to change in order for present and future generations to have a better future. We have the awareness but why don't we change. The answer is the concept of short termism.

Short termism in industry and government is why we still continue to conduct environmentally damaging activities even though the science makes it clear that we should stop. Under short termism a business or government only cares about the short term benefit of an activity. Only caring about the short term benefits is why long term externalities like environmental harm are sidelined in the decision making process.

Addressing environmental problems requires us to think in the long term. Environmentalism itself is a long term endeavor because it's what secures a better future for everyone in the long term. Environmentalism protects the environment which enables us to live a high quality of life that we would not be able to achieve if we had to artificially replace nature for our survival. Environmentalism and short termism are fundamentally incompatible and thus short termism needs to be addressesd if we want to adress environmental problems.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) runs a nationwide system which strips its population of all human dignity. This system is where human beings are turned into tools and then these tools are used until they break. The system essentially ensures that nobody other than CCP officials and those with connections to the CCP can truly achieve a "better life" within the borders of China under CCP rule. In China everyone is either exploited for having what the CCP wants or shamed for not having what the CCP wants.

To understand the CCPs system in more detail

1. The CCPs education system turns innocent free thinking youth with unique talents into mindless obedient and standardized economic assets for the CCP to exploit. This is done through systemic dehumanization, verbal/physical abuse and phycological manipulation. This system is almost entirely memorization based and has no special needs services so thus anyone with mental disabilites or who simply don't have memorization as an inherent strength will inevitably fail. Those who inevitably fail face abuse and shame for not being exploitable to the CCP. Teachers abuse their students because they will face consequences for their students underperformance and parents abuse their kids because they get angry when their kids fail to distract them from the harsh reality of life under the CCP with their academics.

And then

2. The economic assets created by the CCP education system are fed into the CCPs 996 white collar workforce. These 996 white collar workers will have to work extremely long hours for six days a week under management who can abuse them with impunity. The 996 work culture of China's white collar sector completely eliminates ones life outside of work to sustain with an income so thus it does not matter if these white collar jobs pay more than other jobs available in China. These workers are worked to the bone until they can no longer be exploited and then they are abandoned and replaced with the next freshly minted economic asset from the CCP education system

The CCP fundemnally does not treat the majority of its population as human beings. They treat them as tools to be forged, used, discarded and then replaced. The Gaokao is the CCPs social sorting mechanism to determine who to exploit (those with high scores) and who to reject (those with low scores). Those with high Gaokao scores face a life of exploitation and abuse and those with low Gaokao scores face a life of rejection and abuse. Nobody "succeeds" in China because "success" means getting exploited by the CCP.

Under these conditions the young people of China have every right to "lie flat" because they do not owe an ounce of work to the state. If a government treats its people as disposable assets then said people have no right to do anything productive for their government. The CCP thinks that they could coerce and manipulate their population into being their disposable labor source but the population has realized the truth and is deciding not be bitches for the CCP anymore. The CCP is getting what it deserves for refusing to treat its youth as human beings.

"Lying flat" is an ingenious way to protests because it's not something the CCP could prosecute as political dissent and it does not involve any violence towards anyone. The problem is the state treating its youth as disposable assets so therefore the youth have decided to adresss the situation by choosing not be disposable assets for the CCP by refusing to do anything productive. They realized that all working under the CCP is ever going to do is only entice the CCP to extract more and more from you until you have nothing left to give. These people choose to live a minimalist lifestyle because they want to live as a human being instead of being a disposable human robot for the CCP to use abuse and then discard.

I fully agree with the "lie flat" movement in China because I am a human being with situational awareness and a moral compass. Anyone who disagrees is defending mass state sanctioned dehumanization and exploitation of over a billion people. If you want to defend a regime which dehumanizes and exploits its own people with impunity then that is not my problem.

Wood does not magically appear out of nowhere. It has to be harvested from forests using forestry. The environmental impacts of forestry are well known to anyone with even the most basic understanding of environmentalism. Sustainable forestry does exist but the amount of wood that it can produce is finite in order to ensure that the production is sustainable and that the forest ecosystem remains intact. Using wood to replace steel in construction would require far more wood than what sustainable forestry can provide.

Steel does not have to be unsustainable because

1. Steel can be recycled

2. Direct Reduced Iron can be used to produce virgin steel from iron ore

Friction extrusion can be used to recycle steel which is significantly less energy intensive than the conventional process of melting scrap in electric arc furnaces.

The idea of replacing steel in construction with wood is blatantly stupid. Trying to use wood to replace steel in construction a waste of money and time that could go towards making steel more sustainable. We need to stop pretending that wood is a sustainable alternative to steel.

The reasoning here is simple

1. Electric Vehicle EV) batteries require graphite which is geological carbon

2. This graphite is oxidized into CO2 during both pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical recycling of EV batteries

3. This results in a net increase of atmospheric CO2 because the carbon in the graphite is not part of the Earths carbon cycle.

The recycling of EV batteries is a net contributor to atmospheric CO2 just like combusting fossil fuels.

Transport sector electrification is a contributor to climate change just like burning fossil fuels because of the oxidation of graphite during EV battery recycling. Achieving carbon neutrality will require ceasing all energy production activities which cause net increases in atmospheric CO2. This will require us to both phase out fossil fuels and electrification as they are both net atmospheric CO2 contributors. We need transport sector decarbonization solutions which are actually carbon neutral in order to effectively mitigate climate change.

Regenerative agriculture will enable biofuels to be produced without ILUC via

- Cover crops

- Marginal lands

- Unprofitable farmland

Using regenerative agriculture will eliminate the need for fertilizers and pesticides ensuring that future biofuel production does not repeat the same mistakes of the industrial food system.

Here is the final comparison

1. The carbon which makes up graphite is not part of Earths carbon cycle so therefore oxidizing it during EV battery recycling will result in a net increase in atmospheric CO2

2. The carbon in drop-in biofuels (renewable diesel, SAF, and renewable gasoline) came from the Earths atmosphere as CO2 and thus it is part of Earths carbon cycle so therefore oxidizing it in an ICE engine will not result in a net increase in atmospheric CO2.

Our refusal to acknowledge the reality of electrification will not change the laws of chemistry.

Recent science completely disproves the ILUC argument against biofuels. The ILUC argument assumes that land can only be used to grow one crop at once so therefore either existing food production will have to be displaced or new farmland will need to be created. This is patently false.

Here are the three ways to grow oilseed crops for HEFA biofuel production without ILUC

1. Cover Crops: The main economic barrier to farmers adopting cover cropping is that cover cropping has typically been a net loss because the cover crops do not generate any revenue. Growing oilseeds as cover crops changes this. Oilseeds can be crushed to produce seed oil and meal. The seed oil can be used as HEFA biofuel production feedstock and the meal can be fed to livestock. Growing oilseeds as cover crops will allow farmers to implement regenerative agriculture and make extra revenue from the oil and meal from their cover crops in the process.

- https://news.wsu.edu/press-release/2025/10/16/helping-farmers-boosting-biofuels-new-wsu-led-paper-shows-promising-cover-crop-benefits/

2. Marginal and degraded lands: Marginal and degraded lands by definition cannot be used to grow food because their soil is too poor for any food crops to grow. Using these lands to grow oilseeds for HEFA biofuel production does not displace food production because these lands cannot be used to grow food in the first place. These lands already exist around the world so therefore they do not need to be created by destroying natural habitats.

- https://www.futurity.org/biofuel-crops-switchgrass-marginal-land-climate-change-2717252/ (oilseeds can be grown instead of switchgrass)

3. Unprofitable farmland: In some areas of the world growing certain food crops is becoming unprofitable for farmers. If farmers continue to try and cultivate these food crops then they will go bankrupt. Switching to oilseeds for HEFA biofuel production makes sense because then these farmers will switch from growing an unprofitable crop to growing a profitable crop. Oilseeds will be very profitable in the future for struggling farmers because they produce both oil for HEFA biofuel production and meal for livestock.

- https://www.wusf.org/economy-business/2024-07-07/pongamia-trees-grow-where-citrus-once-flourished-offering-renewable-energy-and-plant-based-protein

All three of these methods are currently considered by academia and industry as the future of biofuels.

The agricultural sector is switching to regenerative agriculture which will further increase the sustainability of these biofuels. Regenerative agriculture will eliminate the need for the synthetic fertilizers and pesticides that have long been used in industrial agriculture. In addition regenerative agriculture will improve the health of the soils that oilseeds are grown on. The ILUC free cultivation of oilseeds in the ways mentioned above should all be done using regenerative agriculture.

We really should stop spouting the "biofuels use too much land" BS whenever biofuels are mentioned. That logic is BS based on incomplete picture thinking. ILUC free ways to produce biofuels will exist regardless of if we acknowledge their existence or not. Our ignorance will not change reality.

If a kid gets bad grades because they don't care about school then yes that is a perfectly valid reason for a parent to be unhappy with them. Not caring about school is squandering a persons opportunity to unlock their potential to contribute to the world as well as being disrespectful to everyone involved in education. I am not trying to disprove this fact. If you accuse me of trying to disprove this fact then I will refer you back to this paragraph.

It is not a kids fault if

1. They have a mental disability that impairs learning

2. They do not have memorization as an inherent strength

Either of those things are likely to cause a kid to get bad grades regardless of how hard they study.

Studying is the process of familiarizing oneself with information. Studying will not magically cure mental disabilities or change how a person brain is wired. Mental disabilites and cognitive strengths are inherent parts of human biology. Human beings are human beings and thus they should not be treated as such.

If a kid is getting bad grades and not caring can clearly be ruled out

1. If said kid has a mental disability that affects their ability to intake information then they need special education support

2. If said kid has a mental disability of cognitive profile that affects their ability to retain information then they need special education support along with the recognition that their future will have to rely on professional fields which do not require memorization as an inherent strength

I don't get why its so hard for so many parents to acknowledge this basic fact of life

Everyone has their own potential. Each person potential to contribute to the world is different. We need to stop acting as if every single kid is some blank canvas that can be turned into anything. That long prevailing logic is BS and if anyone refuses to acknowledge that then that is not my problem.

I am not saying that parents should not are about their kids grades. I am saying that parents need to stop acting as if their kids are blank canvases which can be turned into anything solely through study. If a parent refuses to acknowledge this reality then they have no business being a parent.

The problem with agriculture is not any crop or any application of agriculture. The problem is industrial monoculture. Industrial monoculture will make farming any crop for any reason unsustainable

It does not matter

1. How sustainable a crop is
2. What the crop is used for

If the production of the crop is scaled using industrial monoculture then it will inevitably become unsustainable.

Industrial monoculture will always

1. Require habitat destruction
2. Destroy lands ability to store carbon
3. Result in biodiversity loss
4. Require synthetic chemical inputs to replace what nature cannot do due to the erasure of biodiversity
5. Use more water than the regions precipitation can provide
6. Require the creation of new farmland if a new crop needs to be grown because multiple crops cannot be grown on the same land

This is due to the very nature of monoculture which treats land as a "factory" to produce only one "product" while destroying the mechanisms needed to sustain life. Nature does not work by only naturing a single plant. Nature works as a system which enables multiple species to survive by being dependent on each other for the conditions and resources needed to survive. We need agriculture to work according to nature not separately from nature.

The solution to this problem is to match agriculture to the biome where it is being conducted

- Forest biomes -> agroforestry

- Grassland biomes -> regenerative field cropping with vegetation strips

- Desert biomes -> regenerative setups which incorporate water catchment and managed water usage that can facilitate a small water cycle via transpiration

We need to stop seeing agriculture as a standard thing to be done everywhere and replace that idea with the idea that agriculture type needs to match the biome where it will be conducted in.

With this "biome matching" approach to agriculture we can produce

- Food

- Materials

- Bioenergy

Without any of the problems that are caused by industrial monoculture.

So please let's stop acting as if the problems of agriculture are due to certain crops or products. The true problem is industrial monoculture. Blaming the climate impacts of agriculture on certain crops or products is diverting attention, time and money away from addressing the actual cause of the problem.
