Dear Andrew, 

For a student primer surprised to see lack of breadth. No briefs on:

The Carbon cycle, perturbation, regeneration, role sinks and soil in mitigation.

Energy, fossil fuels, “renewables”, LCA, direct and indirect impacts, actions to deliver positive mitigation.

Food and Farming.  Negative impacts. Mitigation opportunities from Regenerative farming.

.???

Tread Lightly!
