#News: #COP16's great promise concluded in confusion. Experts pointed to a lack of leadership from #EU, China, #Canada and #Australia to arrest the #biodiversity crisis. One watershed moment was the inclusion of #indigenous representation in the UN's biodiversity process. Consensus in decision-making was weak and inadequate #ClimateActionNow #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife

Can somebody help me understand this please: why would we ever give out carbon credits for not chopping down a forest? “Here’s a forest we shouldn’t cut down anyway. Because we’re not cutting it down, now you can burn more fossil fuels!”

These stocky little marsupials sort of look like a cross between a baby brown bear, koala & pig. They have a pouch like other marsupials, but it’s backwards which prevents dirt from entering as they burrow.
At just over 3 ft long, they’re absolutely charming. But millions of years ago, herds of giant wombats as large as rhinoceros roamed southern #Australia. #wildlife #photography #SharedPlanet
Steam Deck:
Can't work out the logistics to ship to #Australia.
Nintendo Switch:
Ships new models to Australia almost immediately.
And don't give me the 'money' argument - a quick search shows that #ValveSoftware is worth about US$10 billion, whilst #Nintendo is worth about US$13 billion, so it's not *that* much of a difference... Our #gaming market is also larger than many of the countries the #SteamDeck is currently available in now.

Fruit has thin tough skin, spongey/crisp flesh (like a lillypilly), lots of seeds, no distinctive smell (just vegetative).
No idea of taste, since I’m not eating random red fruit found on a bush that given the spikes, is clearly designed not to be eaten.
