we can only use the biological configurations of carbon

2019-10-19 13:32:41 UTC  

You cannot 'destroy' its configuration unless you bombard it in a lab

2019-10-19 13:32:59 UTC  

This is basic science stuff

2019-10-19 13:33:18 UTC  

Only radioactive elements get their configurations destroyed by emitting nucleons

2019-10-19 13:33:26 UTC  

carbon isn't the nutrient we are primarily losing out on

2019-10-19 13:33:30 UTC  

it's mostly everything else

2019-10-19 13:33:35 UTC  

Name everything else

2019-10-19 13:33:48 UTC  

Give me an exhaustive list of what exactly we are losing out on

2019-10-19 13:33:57 UTC  

They are all simple elements

2019-10-19 13:34:00 UTC  

all the nutrients

2019-10-19 13:34:23 UTC  

we don't actually know exhaustively how plants make use of each and every nutrient

2019-10-19 13:34:29 UTC  

Omg we do

2019-10-19 13:34:31 UTC  

we just know that they store them

2019-10-19 13:34:35 UTC  

Bruh I just told you

2019-10-19 13:34:39 UTC  

Since like the 70s

2019-10-19 13:34:41 UTC  

and we need them in our bodies

2019-10-19 13:35:36 UTC  

Its better to grow them without soil

2019-10-19 13:35:47 UTC  

plants we grow suck up these nutrients through various mechanisms

2019-10-19 13:36:03 UTC  

and those nutrients aren't properly returned to the soil

2019-10-19 13:36:18 UTC  

Lol

2019-10-19 13:36:24 UTC  

Bruh

2019-10-19 13:36:31 UTC  

I can't even

2019-10-19 13:36:42 UTC  

when you harvest a crop, the crop is taking the nutrients in the soil with it

2019-10-19 13:36:50 UTC  

not all

2019-10-19 13:36:57 UTC  

but over time it gets quite a lot of the nutrients

2019-10-19 13:37:10 UTC  

to where the soil becomes unsuitable to grow anything on

2019-10-19 13:37:33 UTC  

A plant nutrient is not a human nutrient

2019-10-19 13:37:47 UTC  

retard

2019-10-19 13:37:48 UTC  

There's no such universal thing as a nutrient

2019-10-19 13:37:58 UTC  

I mean one thing Pelth isn’t considering is that there’s a multiplicity number of farming methods which can be used to affect nutrient loss as a result of soil erosion. Yes if you have soul erosion in your farm and you do nothing, you’re going to have poor crop yields, but there are nutrient management practices farmers and agricultural scientist have developed to respond to soil erosion. You can literally put more nutrients into the soil, add nutrients to the water, or practice something like terracing your halve the effects of soil erosion.

2019-10-19 13:38:18 UTC  

Soil erosion isn’t an existential threat to our crop yields, or to nutrient availability

2019-10-19 13:38:26 UTC  

there are no sustainable farming techniques that can feed over 7 billion people

2019-10-19 13:38:51 UTC  

Soil erosion is only a threat to ecological diversity

2019-10-19 13:39:15 UTC  

Typical right wing thinking "The planet is burning, so let me set fire to the forests"

2019-10-19 13:39:31 UTC  

they set fire to the forests to return some nutrients to the soil

2019-10-19 13:39:41 UTC  

that is the core principle of slash and burn

2019-10-19 13:39:41 UTC  

LOL

2019-10-19 13:39:43 UTC  

@Pelth We literally have high enough crop yields and food production to feed around 10 billion people right now

2019-10-19 13:39:44 UTC  

Omg bruh you trolling

2019-10-19 13:39:50 UTC  

The problem is distribution not production.
