     @Hyolobrika 'fact' is questionable. The idea that my plum tree is somehow less environmentally friendly than buying them in the grocery store from across the country or international growers is laughable.

     I don't see any call to action in that headline. Seems like they are just "stating a fact".

     @Hyolobrika I don't hate the planet, and I certainly don't want to ruin the land where I grow food. I don't buy a lot of environmental fear mongering, but yes I do care about whether or not what I do helps or harms the planet.

     Do you care about how environmentally friendly your food is?

     @Hyolobrika I can shitpost if I wanna :smirk:
     
     The reason I reject the conclusion isn't simply that I don't like it. It's an incredible claim, and I know that industrial scale farming is especially hard on the environment. The focus on co2 allows them to ignore the nitrogen that runs off into rivers because the soil is dead and too compacted to absorb the petroleum products they spray to trick the plants into thinking the soil is healthy.

     Well, I would suggest that you read the original study and attack dispassionately analyse the underlying data and method instead of rejecting the conclusion just because you don’t like it, but the Telegraph don’t appear to have provided a link to it, so 🤷♂️. It seems pretty incredible to me too.

     >dispassionately analyse the underlying data and method
     To be fair, I don't know how to do that either. But that's a skill issue on my (and your?) part and I would like to learn.

     @Hyolobrika yes but not exclusively a skill issue. A lot of papers are not accessible unless you are a school or government or pay a shitload of money like schools and governments do.

     The article does seem to be focussing on CO² only.
     Also it's entirely possible that they have misunderstood the study they are obliquely referring to (maybe that's why they don't link to it directly). I've heard of journalists doing that before.

     In balance with other factors, yes.
     
     Cannibalism is underrated for environmental action.
