What a farce. And you just know this is gonna be spun like "see, you can't trust these scientists", by the alt-right. Whatever legitimacy any future COP may have had has now gone down the drain.
L4s should be banned. Who controls it? What is their agenda?
You don't have to feel bad for cutting grass. That's grass its entire evolutionary skitch, albeit naturally with being grazed instead of mechanically cut.
Grass survives cuts extremely well. Most of its mass is below ground. By thriving in areas that are frequently grazed / cut, it outcompetes other plants. Natural meadows without grazers quickly turn into forests. But tree saplings don't survive being eaten, so whenever there are grazers (or human cuts), grass outcompetes trees.
To all the naysayers: if the claims hold up this will be super useful for some industries. Example, I worked at a human genomics lab for diagnostics. By law we were supposed to retain raw data for a whopping 120 years. With a couple terabyte per individual for a WGS, the storage and backup costs were very much non-trivial.
Hands down the tree.
The stern warning is iconic tho.
Europe is dozens of countries, each with their own laws. So which ones are you referring to?
Oh wow lol.
Wait what? Link?
This is stupid.
Is there a non-shitter link?
Can some American please explain this European why this is such a big deal?
