Mass tree planting in China is turning one of the world’s largest and driest deserts into a carbon sink, meaning it absorbs more carbon from the atmosphere than it emits, new research reveals.
“We found, for the first time, that human-led intervention can effectively enhance carbon sequestration in even the most extreme arid landscapes, demonstrating the potential to transform a desert into a carbon sink and halt desertification,” study co-author Yuk Yung, a professor of planetary science at Caltech and a senior research scientist in NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, told Live Science in an email.
I post a lot some days, nothing others. Am I blocked?
Haha, probably. I’m sorry about that.
The issue I think is mostly due to people thinking they need to crosspost or post the same content in multiple communities like this is Reddit. Since Lemmy is so small, people are likely to see both posts back to back in their feeds, so it’s just redundant and spammy. That’s mostly why I block accounts that post a lot.
It would be a really nice quality of life feature for Lemmy to add filtering so this kind of thing could be dealt with without blocking.
