Im sat in a corner , that is of the garden soaking up the sunshine with a coffee and at this moment in time dont have a care in the world all sown up all animals enjoying the sun on their backs a shed full of grain worth more than even I optimistically thought possible to sell at some point to feed the world and enough fodder to withstand either drought or floods for 18 months , reckon ive done my bitIt’s an interesting thought whether you believe in it or not.
I have to confess I have done nothing. In fact, probably worse as we plough a lot albeit we are intending to look at strip till for maize
To be honest, it will only be cost saving measures we adopt to the benefit of the business rather than the planet.
I am off to stand in a corner. Anyone joining me?
Is the OP question asking what we are doing to lesson our contribution to change or what measures we are taking to mitigate its effects on us? For the latter I have decided not to buy a beach front house or one on a floodplain.... Beyond that what specific changes would you be mitigating against? I certainly don't know with any confidence exactly what global climate changes will mean for the local weather patterns... it could be this farm gets hotter and drier, it could be it gets hotter but wetter, it could become colder and drier or drier and wetter....
That will comeThe OP can either be taken at a personal level or business level i.e. your own contribution
Mine is probably to make both personal and business emissions worse until it makes financial sense to make it better.
better get that grain sold before the price collapses.Im sat in a corner , that is of the garden soaking up the sunshine with a coffee and at this moment in time dont have a care in the world all sown up all animals enjoying the sun on their backs a shed full of grain worth more than even I optimistically thought possible to sell at some point to feed the world and enough fodder to withstand either drought or floods for 18 months , reckon ive done my bit
Thats like asking what's the carbon footprint of a new 7610.When airplanes are grounded, I'll start to think about doing something. Don't really know what. No till maybe, but what's the carbon footprint of manufacturing a new drill ?
Bought a caravan, so we don't have to do international flights .
People have been ploughing for millenia, why is it suddenly any worse than it ever has been? Certainly isn't likely to be more ploughed worldwide than 100yrs ago, and the world is supposed to have gone to crap in that time span.
4 degrees across the whole planet would have quite a considerable effect on human kind…..IMHO the biggest danger for everyone is HMG, Civil Service and Authorities - their draconian policies are already very damaging.
I was looking recently at the "Forecast" timeline for "Climate Bollox" in the Guardian.
I think worst case was 4 degrees in about 100 years, so in other words nothing much at all. UK cities are 3 degrees higher today than their surroundings so the pretense that even 1 degree is going to make lives a "Disaster" is a sick joke.
We still haven't got any data given by anybody on how much CO2 heats the environment. We do have comments that Methane and Water are 100x more powerful than CO2. But nothing concrete that somebody could be sued over.
So there's plenty of movement there for the Environmental loonies to have a "Get out of jail free" card if things don't work out - which IMHO is pretty obvious it won't work.
