International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)’s Post

Climate change has led to a booming black market in fake virgin and extra virgin olive oil. This article from the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) describes how scientists are able to tell the difference between extra virgin olive oil from different regions with between 86 per cent and 93 per cent accuracy. #foodservice #foodserviceindustry #restaurantindustry #restaurantsupply #fooddistributor #foodmanufacturing #foodmanufacturer #foodmanufacturers #foodmarketing #oliveoil #foodsafety #foodandagriculture #supplychain #foodscience #foodscienceandtechnology #foodscientist https://lnkd.in/gJ6D3ARZ

The fossil fuels that are killing us are also keeping us alive. Compounding this irony, fossil fuel production is becoming more difficult and energy intensive (see EROEI). Oil supply is near record highs, but a rising share of that supply comes from unconventional sources - oil sands and shale. My point is fossil fuel reserves are depleting in quality and quantity. Sometime in the future, production will no longer keep up with demand and production will eventually start to fall. We can cut fossil fuel use now to minimize the damage to the atmosphere, or wait to be forced to cut fossil fuel use. Either way, our standard of living is on the decline and food scarcity will cause social breakdown and conflict. As our standard of living declines, it does not shrink proportionally for everyone. Those in power will tighten their grip, oppressing others to ensure their wealth remains intact (or grows). Those without power will suffer the brunt of the decline.

I'm getting increasingly perplexed by the growing stooshie surrounding new exploration licences for the North sea....whilst it Is impossible to achieve the reduction required to achieve net zero without a reduction in the amount of fossil fuels being burned it is naive to believe that we can continue in this modern world without the continued extraction of hydrocarbons..it is used for many things other than fuel...personally I think a huge step forward in the continuing debate is a simple change in the way we look at the situation.....and it's simple.....we stop looking at hydrocarbons as a commodity and start realising that they are in fact a resource that the planet needs.....I remember reading an article a while back pointing out the fact that there was not a millilitre of available storage left anywhere on the planet....not a jerry can, not a tanker not a tank....why...because as a commodity it is in big oils interest to extract and sell as much as they possibly could ...why to boost profits.....for a product that takes 10s of millions of years to produce...surely it would make much more sense to leave it where it is until such time as we need it. Hydrocarbons - A resource not a commodity. ( and don't even get me started on methane...the human desire for Burgers not only has a detrimental effect on the environment and climate change....it has an additional downside in as much as eating so much red meat is not particularly healthy for homo sapien sapiens...we are omnivores not carnivores...OK back to your Cornflakes everybody...my Sunday rant is over.😀

Global warming leading to #oxidativestress, but what about #epigenetic changes. Read our new article that explains these events in microalgae building essential #symbiosis in #coralreef ecosystem. This article is a great example of personal #resilience that was essential for the successful publication.

Did you know that nitrous oxide greenhouse emissions have increased by 40 percent in the last 40 years? Shockingly, agricultural production contributed 74 percent of the total anthropogenic N₂O emissions in the last decade, mainly due to using nitrogen fertilizers and animal manure. This is a serious concern for Australia and the world as a whole, as it has significant implications for climate change and global warming. We must address this issue to reduce our carbon footprint and mitigate the impact of greenhouse gases on our planet. #Australia #Agriculture #foodproduction #climatechange #globalwarming #greenhousegas #GHG #carbonfootprint
