A vast underground network of fungi has been supporting life above ground for 450 million years, but the recent discovery by scientists, including researchers from the University of Sheffield, that fungi is storing OVER ONE THIRD OF THE CARBON created from fossil fuel emissions each year indicates that it could be crucial as nations seek to tackle climate change and reach net zero emissions

Fungi stores a third of carbon from fossil fuel emissions and could be essential to reaching net zero
Researchers are now calling for fungi to be considered more heavily in conservation and biodiversity policies, and are investigating whether we can increase how much carbon the soil underneath us can holdThe University of Sheffield

EU CO2 emissions 1965-2022 | Statista
Annual CO₂ emissions in the European Union have reduced by more than 25 percent since 2005 to less than three GtCO₂ per year.Statista
By now, you should realize that there is no chance — zero — that global warming will remain comfortably below 1.5°C. It’s not going to happen, even though back in 2015 in Paris, nearly every country in the world agreed to take all necessary actions to achieve that.
So we know 1.5 is dead at this point. But why is it dead?
Take a look at the chart below of 40 leading nations and how each of them have done so far in meeting their climate commitments.
Nobody, not one nation, is on track to do what they promised. All we ever get is more Business As Usual.

It estimated that #livestock, mostly #cattle, accounted for 18% of global greenhouse gas #emissions, which was more than the transport sector.
The report also highlighted the impacts of livestock on land use, water use, and #biodiversity loss.
