Not a fan of the guardian but it just happened to be them to highlight this. 2 oil fields in Turkmenistan leak more co2 equivalents in a year than the UK’s total emissions!! Of course though in the quest for net zero it’s livestock that do the harm.

Increasing co2 emissions started around 1850, the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Consumption of fossil fuels began to rapidly increase at the same time, livestock numbers and emissions have barely changed.
How our representative bodies can have failed to highlight this anomaly is beyond me. There is a very large elephant in the climate change blame room.

And yet before we burnt fossil fuels people created heat by burning wood and peats but there just bad now 🤷🏻

World population 1850 was 1.2bn

Today it's 8.05bn

Planet is the same size

CO2 isn't a major problem, the level of carbon in the atmosphere is at the lower end of where it needs to be for a thriving planet anyway.

It doesn't suit their paymasters. Farmers are an easy target for a spot of virtue signalling Especially when our Unions go along with it led by our gong seeking leaders

The number of people who can't figure out that CO2 in the atmosphere are a fraction of what they used to be is beyond me.

Well it's not actually beyond me, people as a collective are pretty stupid and easily controlled/manipulated.
