I was answering OPs question, specifically:

would that be sufficient to get under the threshhold of emissions what the planet can process?

Would that (alone) be sufficient? absolutely not. I never claimed it couldn't contribute towards greenhouse gas reduction.

From the actual study[0]

Human cerebral microvascular endothelial cells (hCMECs) were cultured and treated with 6 mM erythritol, equivalent to a typical amount of erythritol (30 g) in an artificially sweetened beverage, for 3 h.

Am I reading this right? They basically soaked brain cells in diet soda for three hours?

Animal agriculture only produces 5.8% of greenhouse gasses[0], so even if everyone stopped eating meat tomorrow the effect would be less than 5.8% (not all animal agriculture is for meat).

Canada has only existed since 1867, so not exactly.

The song also mentions the Beatles, and I'm sure there's at least one Belgian still in the Congo.

A wild beaver has been spotted in Norfolk for the first time since beavers were hunted to extinction in England at the beginning of the 16th century.

It was filmed dragging logs and establishing a lodge in a “perfect beaver habitat” on the River Wensum at Pensthorpe, a nature reserve near Fakenham in Norfolk.

It is the first time a free-living beaver has been recorded in the county since the species began to re-establish itself in the English countryside in 2015, when a litter of wild kits was born in Devon.
