2021 the (real) story so far:
1. the oldest, thickest Arctic sea ice is not as stable as previously thought
2. committed global warming has a most-likely value of 2.5°C
3. grasslands are now producing as much greenhouse gas as they sequester
4. bee-killing pesticides are back

'The world’s grasslands are an essential carbon sink, and may even be more efficient at capturing atmospheric carbon than trees. But thanks to animal agriculture & fertilizer use, they’re now producing as much greenhouse gas pollution as they sequester' https://earther.gizmodo.com/grasslands-may-soon-produce-more-greenhouse-gases-than-1845987162/amp?__twitter_impression=true

'A third of the UK bee population is thought to have vanished in a decade'
The corporate EU is no more trustworthy. France is going back to allowing bee-killing pesticides too, did you know? https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/bees-kill-pesticide-insect-sugar-neonic-b1784693.html?utm_term=Autofeed&utm_medium=Social&utm_content=Echobox&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1610139607
