Another load of "climate assembly" rubbish, with all the problems that the one south of the border had. Take a cross section of the population then feed them cherry-picked BS from one-sided activists and academics, and the results will be as they wanted them to be. Nowt more than a brainwashing exercise.

Scotland, the land of MAMBA (miles and miles of bugger all)………..

Wonder how many members of the panel have actually travelled extensively throughout our country to see the lie of the land for themselves….. as opposed to the LIES of the land that are regularly trotted out.

How does one get onto these panels?

I had a particularly unpleasant exchange with some tit on Twitter who reckoned 85% of Scotland was suitable for nut and veg production.

They’re busy planting up hill land in trees as it is, and as long as that insidious little c-unit Patrick Harvie has his feet under the table (or other parts elsewhere ….) with the snp, pandering to their independence dream, then this sort of shite is going to continue.

For what it’s worth our local msp and mp are both SNP and I would say they are very supportive of agriculture.

Certainly suitable for nuts

The traffic on the nc500 route is nose to tail right now, literally take your life in your hands to cross it. Maybe its good for the economy etc. But it is being promoted by the Scottish government and local council.

Yet they turn round a tell me that the few cows I have quietly grazing in the field next this road are destroying the planet. Pull the other one....

Not sure there will be a pact between the greens and snp now. Looks to me like even the snp are finding the Green Party pish too toxic

Be interesting to see how this plays out. The climate assembly made 80 recommendations about how society needs to change their ways. Much of which may be right. Problem will be half of the recommendations are likely major vote loser's. Once you hit peoples pocket and lifestyles things can change rapidly. The government have backed themselves into a corner by escalating the whole "climate crisis" argument. Now they have to act given how serious they claim it is.

It would be hilariously funny but for the fact that they’re deadly serious.
That school kids story about the Emperors new clothes should no longer be treated as children’s fantasy but as a warning of what’s going on around us and in particular with all matters environmental

 

[toquark]

Well what could we expect with the SNP now effectively in coalition with the greens (with less than 2% of the vote)?

If you think ELMS is daft, just wait and see what Patrick and his comrades have in store for us...

Not so much 'emperors new clothes', more like "the boy who cried wolf!".

The vocal minority, the 'New Puritans', have to keep coming up with new ways to scare the public into toeing their line. But the silent majority need to have access to the full story, not the censored / ‘cancelled’ version being promoted by cuckoo political groups and those profiting from blatant corporate bandwagoning .

I'll "eat less meat" when the government completely bans air travel and all plastic packaging. Until then we shouldn't be expected to be the whipping boys of a greenwashed vegan agenda and an urban media frenzy.

As for "Scotland leading the way", you're going to be sorely disappointed. The Holyrood 'government' is really little more than day care for the unemployable, 2nd rate 'county councillors' with a Napolean complex, but extremely good at making a lot of noise in an empty vessel.

I can’t see that 85% of all land in Scotland would be suitable for (viable) nut production, you’d be looking at planting in the highlands and western isles to reach that sort of level. Not realistic.

our whole arable area is only something like 15% and that’s all basically concentrated on the east coast.

I had half an inkling that’s what you meant!

Alright, alright I see that now.

The UK is heading to be one big free amusement park. Quite how we go about preventing this eludes me.

I don't think we will have a great deal of success until we have a "food crisis". At that point the experts will probably blame the shortage on farmers destroying the planet and using all the grain for animal feed. No mention of tree planting, ad plants and house building on arable land.
