Join the dots.
Why you cannot trust science when funded by conflicts interest. This study asked us to consider 'potential' farming 'trees' but ignored potential of WOOL & SHEEPSKIN in reduction emissions via less FF hear & wash needed, AND mitigation wildfires. Carbon offsetting

via tree planting is turning out counter productive by contributing to reduction livestock grazing and increased forest fires. So beware Grantham academics (poor study this week tried go pin arson on climate change eg) when Greece arrested 140 arsonists same week & reduction in

livestock also implicated warned about since 1980s. My own upbringing taught me this too when I'd walk forest (look background) grandfathers & other pigs sheep goats would pick floor clean so nothing to burn. Now so many farms abandoned even orchards overgrown huge fire risk. So Image

What’s in a dress? Or song? More than meets eye in case of Mod.
Special aesthetic & phonoaesthetic carries multi layered meaning. Appropriating a consumer product a scooter a dress or guitar, graphics & iconography & making it your own re styling= identity.
In a time when ⬇️🎯🇬🇧
utilitarianism reigns fashion & overt commericial vacuous in music, worth connecting with past & seeing enduring legacy of Mod. Went to Mod Mayday last weekend featuring many 70s revival bands, such as The Chords whose first single 1979 ‘Now It’s Gone’ was
1979 ‘Now It’s Gone’ year Quadrophenia released. Like The Who’s ‘Can’t Explain’ , ‘So Sad about Us’ & the movie itself, perhaps fatalistic euphemism for lost opportunity and angst. But The Chords , The Jam and others also had that punk edge. So it was evolving.

@PeterDaszak @Shirley22034040 You attack Bridgen in general not just re lab leak. There is direct logical relationship with consent & post war medical ethics about procedure being for benefit individual, not for 'greater good'; and vaxx also did not prevent infection/transmission so was not valid anyway.

So second paper now suggesting current methane emissions by cattle not too different from natural herbivores.
Some scientists (F Smith K Lyons et al) in fact blamed the cooling of Younger Dryas on the vanishing of mammoth so lack of belching. though I do not buy into
idea of human caused extinction (we now know subsequent to that study the Americas were colonized by humans MUCH earlier for starters; and seems ridiculous to think humans would have wiped them out there but not African elephants anyway). So always suggests to me regional
climate catastrophe or ET impact hypothesis made more sense. But anyway for them to have had such dramatic effect on cooling whatever made the vanish, it suggests a huge amount of megafauna. Thus not a .'natural' level of herbivores even if the very low estimate was to be

For the moronic idiot eco activists & food systems 'scientists', or those that take us for fools. This is OBVIOUS but it is nice to have a Nature paper finally tell you what we already know. Livestock herbivores & wild herbivores= similar emissions. So you don't get to replace
livestock with wild herbivores and expect GHG emission falls. So it is an utterly pointless argument and in any case, in scenarios where conservation desirable eg bison in USA, that is even best served by actually using them as food source too. dakotapurebison.com/our-story/
And this is what actually happens all too often when you just leave wildlife to its own devices as the ecofascist rewilders want

@guidoacasa @Togetherdec I am going to take those straw men one at a time.
First, climate change deniers. NOBODY denies climate change. What we deny is, that the 'science' is at least in part FLAWED & that has made many skeptical. Counter this.
See
@guidoacasa @Togetherdec fact they have made such almighty cock up on livestock accounting also show they're not serious re climate change themselves. There is no doubt about this. The problem is mass production of non durable tat & consumer tech with inbuilt obsoletion , which
@guidoacasa @Togetherdec while we in UK many consume, it is made China & all WEF corporates. I don't recall anyone asking for acrylic jumpers sportswear plastic shoes & anoraks, laptops & phones made to last only 2 years, and disposable furntiture (yes IKEA part of WEF) and the 'science' is absolving
