I wish you were correct, but the popular press is usually loaded with optimism, especially techno-optimism.

The science shows the current predicament and the fact that any "good things" are based on the idea of massive reforms (or even revolutions) occurring. This makes it very easily to estimate how bad the situation is based on what's not happening.

As the climate chaos gets worse, it's reasonable to expect more bad news, not less.

Efficiency is about physics. You can't break the laws of physics. Economics are not physics and subsidies can go in many different directions.

If we plan on using the land to store carbon, to restore ecosystems and biodiversity, then land use and land use intensity will have to decrease, which will mean that we have make sure that land is used to feed people, not to feed food.

If you're going to say "waste", don't bother. Waste firstly has to be reduced, and we need the rest for compost.

Your appeal to density works much like the bird CAFOs now in the face of HPAI. You think you've figured out a cheat, but, over time, it averages back down.

The stochastic front line.

"Economic" depends on the subsidies which exist regardless of the species of those organisms.

There are many studies on these conversion ratios, I just wanted to point at one that gets into the "waste promise" too.

Nothing is going to beat eating plants because plants are primary producers of calories, amino-acids, fats.

What is going to happen, especially in the Western places where meat is in large demand and large supply, is that subsidies for insect farming are going to sustain the usual vertebrate farming.

complaints

flour just refers to how the bulk food stuff is ground up into a powder. Do people really not know this?

Clearly your brain is carb deficient.

saves hundreds

  1. Not the hundreds of crickets.

  2. Unlikely to be money. Raising insects is, by definition, raising animals. They need to eat too, along with shelter.

Ditch the crickets, eat the legumes. Legumes won't run away. 🫘🫛

You write out the warnings.

Emerging from the Americas and now appearing in Europe, the Philippines, Nigeria and South Africa, today’s narco-evangelists share an increasingly popular strand of Christianity: Pentecostalism. It’s the fastest-growing religion in the world, already with around 650 million followers. A branch of evangelical Protestantism, in recent decades Pentecostalism has become the faith of the world’s poor. In large part, this is because of its particular focus on the Holy Spirit’s role in health and wealth, but there is also the significant lure of the faith’s deep authenticity, rooted in local cultures. Much of this is due to the fact that there is little in the way of authority structures and pastoral oversight. Not only is there no Pentecostal pope, but all you really need to be a preacher is followers.

It's a simple 3 panel web comic. There are 2 characters which are also simple. As the artist name suggests... a circle with nose, ears, eyes, mouth, and some tiny legs.

Character 1 says: "Vaccines are the deadliest poison!"

Character 2 says: "Didn't you say that, by September, everyone who got the vax will be dead?"

Character 1: "Yes, AND?"

Character 2: "I've waited for my death for three Septembers."

Character 1: has an angry, upset and silent expression.

It's still not earning you money to spend electricity because you still have to pay the transfer fee which is around 6 cents / kWh but it's pretty damn cheap nevertheless, mostly because of the excess in wind energy.

Last winter because of a mistake it dropped down to negative 50 cents / kWh for few hours, averaging negative 20 cents for the entire day. People were literally earning money by spending electricity. Some were running electric heaters outside in the middle of the winter.
