I presume I'll find it in a library somewhere (or even better, ripped off online). I don' propose to directly give him any money for it.
Monbiot made a good point, today.
"While there are international standards for how carbon should be counted, there is no accounting for the moral hazard of carbon offsets:
the land required to meet carbon removal plans by businesses could amount to . . . . more than the entire area of farmland on the planet."
Carbon offsetting is not warding off environmental collapse – it’s accelerating it | George Monbiot
Wealthy companies are using the facade of ‘nature-based solutions’ to enact a great carbon land grab, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Whatever you think of George fair play to him for coming out in favour of trophy hunting.
He’s copping a huge amount abuse for it from the AR fanatics.

There is a time and a place for a discussion about trophy hunting, the bloke has no role to play in anything ecological as he clearly has little or no understanding of it: 'sheep cause flooding'- if that is the extent of his knowledge then he deserves to be left on the sidelines.

He's a claimed environmentalist who has taken the shilling from the BBC which makes me extremely suspicious of him and anything he says.

The bloke best stay in London where he can't do any harm but contribute to the guardian reader echo chamber.

There was an article in the county times about him selling his house a couple of weeks or so back. Doesn’t sound like he’s lived there for about 9 years, it had been rented out but he’s now sold it, was making a bit of a point that he’d taken less than he could of got by not selling to an outsider/second home owner ..........which of course he was

I seem to remember, but don’t quote me on this but I thought the report in the paper said he’d sold it to some sort of charity/organisation that would rent it out to locals

He rented it to some housing co-op after he scurried off to Oxford.

George Monbiot says farming should be abolished to save the planet
Writing in his latest book, the Guardian columnist said the world must do away with meat and dairy production because it is a 'phenomenally profligate' way to produce food.

The banks collapsed in 2008 – and our food system is about to do the same | George Monbiot
Massive food producers hold too much power – and the regulators scarcely understand what is happening. Sound familiar, asks Guardian columnist George Monbiot
