[QUOTE="PSQ, post: 7794722, member: 11374"] Mindful of it, and doing what I can. But ultimately my GHG reductions have been market driven by cost savings (fuel / fert) and time savings: reductions in tillage, and melting our own liquid fert using waste ammonium sulphate from a chemical plant. We’ve done lots of insulation and double glazing on farmhouse and cottages. Building aspect (SE/NW) doesn’t lend itself to effective solar production, and biomass / offsetting is nothing less than a scam. Wind power planning was thwarted by some terminally short sighted SNP councillors who were more worried about ‘the effect on tourism’ than mitigating the farms effect on the environment or creating income to be circulated in the local economy. ScotGov instead chose to allow Fred Olsen and Iberdrola to build the largest wind farms in Europe, and watch all of the profit go offshore. And I don’t believe we should ‘wait for China to ban coal’ etc, we need to get our house in order. Even if ‘The Climate Emergency’ is debunked as a doomsday cult (and it has it’s share of nutters), every litre of refined diesel or kg of AN is reduction from a finite ‘fossil fuel’ total, and we need to work on the alternatives now.
