Since the topic came up I thought I would leave a link to some information on Soil Carbon Sequestration (particularly in relation to land-clearing/agriculture).  Some might find it interesting reading.  :)

Sorry for the necro, but this seems to be the most relevant thread I can find around here, except the absolutely terrified thread, at which I will crosspost this.

As of today, legalisation was passed in the place at which I live. It is rumoured to punish seditious action with 3 years to life imprisonment. Rumoured, because as of this time nobody, not even the local government, seems to know what the exact terms are. It could be literally anything.

Is this related to the HK legal crackdown?

Yes. The law passed this morning, but as of right now (2115 local time) there is still nothing on the exact terms, apart from rumours and that it will come to power the moment it is announced.

Meanwhile in China, birth control politics have been given new life in Xinjiang province.
Uyghur women are forcibly sterilized and/or forced to have a IUD inserted so they will not have children.
Ethnic Han-Chinese, on the other hand, are encouraged to have more children.
So yeah, genocide by sterilization. Uyghurs will cease to exist in a few decades when the last ones die of old age or go missing in re-education camps.

From what I've read, I encourage everyone in hong kong to emmigrate to the UK when that opens.

For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Taiwan is also helping out - opening an office for managing refugees.

It's a "only nixon can go to china" thing. Bojo's so horrifically anti-immigration bigoted that he's got enough racist points for it to get passed.
