Good Idea: Natural Reforestation

https://www.conservation.org/press-releases/2024/07/24/new-research-reforestation-is-more-cost-effective-than-previously-understood-study-compares-reforestation-methods

A new study found that reforestation is much cheaper and more effective at removing carbon from the air than we thought, especially if we let forests grow back naturally. This method can capture more carbon for less money in almost half of all suitable areas. By mixing natural regrowth with traditional tree-planting, we can boost carbon removal by about 40%, helping us tackle climate change more effectively and affordably.

“The opportunity for low-cost reforestation appears much more plentiful than previously thought; this suggests reforestation projects are worth a second look by communities that might have prejudged them to be cost prohibitive,” said Busch. “While reforestation can’t be the only solution to climate change, our findings suggest it should be a bigger piece of the puzzle than previously thought.”

Don't bomb Beirut: U.S. leads push to rein in Israel's response

The United States is leading a diplomatic dash to deter Israel from striking Lebanon's capital Beirut or major civil infrastructure in response to a deadly rocket attack on the Golan Heights, five people with knowledge of the drive said.

Washington is racing to avert a full-blown war between Israel and the Iranian-backed Lebanese movement Hezbollah after the attack on the Israeli-occupied Golan killed 12 youths at the weekend, according to the five people who include Lebanese and Iranian officials plus Middle Eastern and European diplomats. read more

a desperate activist tells Malcolm X that the situation is hopeless as there are too many powerful interests and too few to oppose them. Malcolm's response is as important today as it was then: "Never let your enemy tell you how many of you there are."
