If we (society as a whole) had started switching to renewables when Greenpeace first started campaigning for them, I suspect we wouldn't have the climate emergency that makes nuclear look attractive.

It's hard to expect them to change their stance just because we failed to follow their lead for decades.

But a glyphosate-free version also killed 96% of exposed bees, they said, “demonstrating that the active ingredient, glyphosate, is not the cause of the mortality.”

Since they know that the surfactants are toxic to bees, this is like comparing pure arsensic to a mixture of arsenic and cyanide and concluding that cyanide is not dangerous.

Hard not to talk about it when it is 100% the best way to start your day.

I believe that the more tolerable climate predictions assume that not only will we cut emissions but that we will also find a way to remove significant amounts of CO2 from the atmosphere.

So you are both right.

Yes, the article headline is misleading - the trend that is reversed is the accelerating rate of deforestation, not the rate of deforestation itself.

I liked your first iteration better, to be honest. The left-hand one here is too squat. The right-hand one is cute, though - people are not wrong about that.
