We hear all this hypocritical nonsense from Cop26 as the experts fly in and out of Glasgow.

"Life at 50 degrees" on BBC2 earlier in the week showed crop failure in certain parts of the world, I really felt for the farmer in Iraq, his wheat & barley had dropped to half a tonne/acre & he was losing money. His combine driver hadn't been taught how to cut a field properly either.

In Mauritius they travelled on the iron ore train with their trussed up sheep/goats in the hope of a better life. The sheep/goats were fed on cardboard.

In British Columbia a town was lost to a wildfire. In Australia they had similar battles.

This was a rare BBC programme that didn't blame British Farmers

BUT

Meanwhile in Britain we're being told to plant more trees and that cattle farming is bad, even though we all know beef reared on permanent pasture is as environment friendly as you could ever get.

Fertiliser prices are at an all time high all over the world.

It doesn't seem to have registered with "the experts" yet, but food will soon get short.

At 53, I hope I will live long enough to prove that all this stupid re-wilding, stewardship, tree planting,vegan nonsense will leave people hungry, then I will be able to say "I told you so"

Well there we are, I did tell you so 6 months ago.

The Bank of England have realised what's going on, but have Mrs Johnson and the Goldsmiths
 
If you pegged The Johnson’s out on a beach with no shade or suncream in 50 degree heat I doubt they would even get it then.

I think our kids will be the last generation to have life relatively comfortable. After that things will get serious. But who knows what else could go wrong before then?

And the answer will be.....
"We should of taken heed of the warnings and acted earlier".

I'm surprised at that, the BoE haven't been on the ball much since Mervyn King was governor.
I can imagine the meeting went;

"Oh dear, inflation is out of control, let's increase interest rates to bring it down, that worked in 1975"

Trouble is no one in power will listen to you even if you are proved right. They'll be too busy listening to the same sort of people who are currently selling the 'climate change' b*ll*cks, except in the future they'll have a new 'solution' to all our woes, one that coincidentally makes them very important, and very rich.........
Less than a year later, do you think the penny has dropped now we have the Goldsmith's & Mrs Johnson out of the way ?
