Please take note if you are into forest #carbon credits, which is a counterproductive climate "action"

@whittledaway In the UK, according to @GeorgeMonbiot, sheep take up 22% of UK farmland yet only produce in terms of calories 1% of our food. Fewer sheep & more trees would be a climate win. Although we should value sheep's wool more for clothing & insulation.

Good spot - a timber build in Austria. The Austrian Environment Ministry subsidises timber construction projects with up to one euro per kilogram of wood used.

@now_ecology Agree 'all trees precious' but the carbon benefits to 2100 from planting native broadleaves are 6.2 tonnes of carbon dioxide (tCO2)/ha/year, while those for ‘productive forests’ managed for wood production are 7 tCO2/ha/year once carbon storage & substitution benefits included.

When it comes to tackling climate change there is no 'lower hanging fruit' than tree planting yet the UK's woodland’s ability to capture CO2 is falling as felled trees not replaced. @CEIBois @forestsandwood @TimberDevUK @STAtimber @WKWales https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/jul/23/dip-in-uk-woodlands-ability-to-capture-co2-as-felled-trees-not-replaced?CMP=share_btn_tw
