Often, the first few drugs are ineffective and, in a worst-case scenario, doctors may end up using antibiotics that even increase an infection's resistance to medicine.
In this scenario antibiotics are quite ineffective, suggesting the presence of other mechanisms.
Such scenarios are not only ineffective at changing behavior, but can damage the patient-clinician relationship.
Maintaining the current reported mix of natural-forest restoration, plantations and agroforestry sequesters about one-third of the carbon (16 Pg C) of the natural-forest-only scenario, largely because plantations are ineffective (see 'Which strategy?').
We diagram both positive and negative t values to test the scenario that proactive measures are ineffective, or have a delayed effect.
