Terry Gross reading a book has rendered it useless for others to read.

Dog earing of top corner for interesting sections or questions she may have for the author.

Dog earing bottom corner as an indicator of remembering facts for the intro or for sentences she wants to quote.

Uses front of book for connecting themes and focus, so she won't forget it.

Introductions/prologues for quick overviews of what the book is about and why they wrote it.

Terry Gross reads slowly to start and speeds up as she continues. She annotates and dog-ears as she reads and then makes notes and questions after she's done.

for - key insight - GHG accounting - gross carbon accounting - count old growth deforestation as new carbon emissions - just like exposing millions-of-years-old fossil fuels

for - in other words - net accounting vs gross accounting - slash and burn forestry practice is a human activity - net accounting has been justified on the logic that - deforestation is a human activity that removes carbon sinks - regrowth that occurs after deforestation contributes a new future carbon sink - The problem with net accounting in this case is that it counts regrowth as a new carbon sink that is attributed to humans - when in reality, it is simply a natural process - A forestry company could slash and burn and then claim carbon credits for the natural regrowth, even though they did something that contributed to emissions, not mitigate emissions

for - newer GH accounting - consistent gross CO2 - deforestation impact larger than - fossil fuel emissions

In Österreich wenden sich die Verbände der erneuerbaren Energiewirtschaft gegen die von der OMV geplante Ausbeutung eines neuen Gasfeldes bei Groß-Enzersdorf. Mit wenig Aufwand lasse sich dieselbe Menge Energie mit Wind oder Solarkraft herstellen. Das Gasfeld würde zu geschätzt 10 Millionen weiteren Tonnen CO₂-Emission führen, das ist etwa ein Viertel der derzeitigen österreichischen Jahresemissionen. https://www.derstandard.de/story/3000000181249/gegen-foerderung-von-gas-vor-den-toren-wiens-formiert-sich-widerstand

This right here really made me feel uncomfortable about this section with Leila and the old man. I mean obviously they're in the middle of a dance floor I'm sure he won't do anything outrageous but the squeezing her close and talking about how beauty and men wanting to kiss you is fleeting, capped off with this patronizing name really makes it sound like he's trying to make a move on her rather than giving her advice, and I can't tell if that's my modern day skepticism or Leila's inexperience that she can't see this man for what he is.

interesting word choice because when i think privilege i automatically think of a white person (more specifically man)
