The way I see it vegetation is like a sponge.
Once it’s gone you’ve nothing to stabilise temperature and water cycling.
Precisely what he tells us. He has also demonstrated himself decades ago how to build soil and vegetation where there previously was none, this cooling the ground and encouraging water cycling. For this he got a pat on the head and told go and find something else to do.

The whole issue is so wide ranging and woven into almost every aspect of our lives.
Since I was at school the general message from teachers etc was that travel is good, broadens the mind etc. and they were right up to a point. But now my wife’s friend’s son lives in Kathmandu married to a Nepalese woman, while granny (my wife’s friend) lives in France and they move back and forward on planes almost every fortnight. They think nothing of it but lecture me about the methane produced by our sheep. The whole ruling class now has frequent air travel embedded in its way of life and I can’t see that ever rolling back. So basically as I live modestly I don’t worry about carbon footprint anymore and take little notice of anything said by government. When I see then biking to Skegness for a holiday I might take notice.
Tell them about methane calculations in GWP* and the amount of Carbon absorbed by the grass the sheep are grazing.

A child can see all with done here in the UK is close alot of industry down, to then buy the same goods from countries such as india, china to name two where their pollution as increased? Great, steel production, cement, paper, three industries, that are heavy users of "cheap" energy, out of many more that we used to have a majority made here in the UK now nearly all gone, a child could run the govt better?

Absolutely right.
If wind turbines had been on land rather than offshore and has been community owned or at least if communities had benefited directly and they’d supplied the immediate locality we wouldn’t be needing massive new substations and cables to bring the power on shore at strategically vulnerable bottlenecks. We have the unintended consequences of nimbyism because the concept of renewable energy was rolled out in the wrong way from a stakeholder aspect and indeed a grid engineering design aspect. Locally produced diverse renewable power would not require a massive grid upgrade but they couldn’t get that concept past the Tory blue rinse and Colonel Mustard types who’d retired to villages and wanted them kept like they were in 1786, regardless of the damage that caused nationally.
And local production allied with local consumption of anything actually, removes the power from the multinational corporations, so we have a coalition between multinational corporations and authoritative leftist political parties ruling on everything to keep the power where it is now.

Warmer air does hold more water. I suspect what happens in the desert is that there is insufficient cooling for precipitation.

Rainfall doesn't happen more than 400km from a source of evaporation or transpiration.
And also the clouds need a seed for the water to condense on, to form rain, there are plumes of bacteria that float up from trees and forests, these produce the seed, and in the desert, there isn't that plume of bacteria.

At last people are beginning to see through the smoke and mirrors.

FFS, they've even nicked our elephant in the room analogy....

Oh, I want to lash out at all the Chicken Littles .... but that's no use, they're quite beyond help.
Beyond sad and I'm beyond caring about them: they can go solar and shove lentils up their vag for sustenance if they feel it makes a lick of difference.

Hanging up a deer at the moment so yes there is blood on my hands, you'll wait a long time to hear any apology from me about it
Blood on you hands is a metaphor, not the fact that you have real blood on your hands because with the metaphor the individual responsible is actually incapable of physically doing the job and doesn’t want to get their hands dirty ,at best as an act of cowardice .
As for the kiddies and young people who bleat about the environment and climate, when was the last time you see the little sh1!s physicality doing anything actually about it like turning off the electricity, not using the electric car or even picking up the KFC or Mc Donalds sh!t on the road verge or roadside???
 
Our last real goony goon simply made announcements about when there would be announcements until she didn't have enough left in the tank; and then disappeared, and then came back with about 400 security personnel for her wedding .

Good value
Ardern's entire career is purely manufactured by the media and I have to agree with the Freemason's who stated quite clearly her true lack of intelligence, understanding and poor leadership skills.
Unfortunately they were right.

I did have blood on my hands and a fair bit on my apron as well, heard a rumour a neighbour was looking for "an easy deer before he leaves for Aus" so I went and grabbed it first, and it was easy

That's a silly place to stand, could easily cause an accident and let our heifers out of the paddock onto the road

I wonder sometimes if they don't come down in the night on a block of ice from deep space

"There's intelligent life on this planet, maybe something will rub off" and they are simply ejected towards an Earth orbit.

Can't fix stupid but you can give them space

FonterraFarmer, and we thought that we had all the idiot "crowd" here in the UK trying to run this once great country?
It's a global problem, as with other forms of cancers on the rise.

In some respects, the purest form of life that there is in existence; the issue is that the malignant cells are now unaware that they're still part of the original organism, because nothing can inform it otherwise.

You'll observe the slow creep of it in every developed nation, towards disintegration and degeneration, barriers to resilience and freedom.

I say perhaps Huxley had a valid point that a lack of information isn't the real crux of our problem, rather, there is too much information available and it overloads our senses.

This is the stand I take, this starts right here at home

I actually think the advert I see on this page, is one step towards improving farmings chances of moving in the right direction, my agronomist said there are 2 similar products one put on as a seed dressing and the other sprayed on the crop, pricing seems high, his words, but if true, giving our crops the ability to fix nitrogen seems a no brainer, and will help cut our use of man made nitrogen, so BlueN and its rival, if they do what they say and are reliable as in it’s not a gamble to use them, and they work, great, then get the government to back green nitrogen, for the rest.
Again my agronomist said it’s in trials, and it has been tested on farm, strangely he said it had a good effect on peas and beans. Which was a surprise, but from trials was true.
splitting fields of the same seed, one Half with the treatment one not.

his statement was price and effect, will be key. It’s a watch this space.
No doubt crop trials at shows will display them this year.
For me seed treatments seem the best way. Again he said the spray version is looking very difficult to time, from the looks.
