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

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

@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. The Image @PeterDaszak @Shirley22034040 Discrimination suffered by unvaccinated thus had no logical basis & unscientific.

In addition lockdowns caused massive harms also for no benefit. Millions lost livelihoods when poverty misery & stress predictable=KNOWN severe adverse health outcomes. We

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

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/

@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

#1960s here

1970s here

Now thread my #1980s pieces
Start with this fab Victor Costa dress!
#VintageFashion #vintage #fashion A chance this could be #1970s but more likely #1980s as shoulder pads very exaggerated. Has such disco diva vamp glamour. So I mixed a bit of vampire and disco as inspiration with a contemporary character! It's in pure silk and by CACHÉ another fab American label #vintagefashion

Lockdowns felt racist to me because I live London. So eg VAST majority work colleagues ethnic minority. I know elsewhere dept stores that wont be case, but then think restaurants salons tourism (multi linguist generally ethnic minority) & self employed London more likely ethnic minority too. But again, outside London prob not case. BUT, what sure was racism was the altitude of many pro lockdowners, who gaslighted us. The way our livelihoods considered dispensible, and we were told to shut up as we are just stupid retail workers eg. This

First one c 1968 , year of the song by 'Love Affair' this coat by UK brand started 1791, famed for their cotton #1950s dresses. this #Mod #maxi coat in wool & sheepskin This one is a very sophisticated early #1960s brown velvet 2 piece that was at some point revamped with a 'psychedelic' lining. Did Emily rob mum's closet and upcycle, or did mommy take a trip? #VintageFashion It will have certainly moved to early Pink Floyd....

More gaslighting from @HappinessRpt which is @UN backed trying to convince us with highly questionable metrics we are happier than pre pandemic. Utilitarian philosophy greatest happiness of greatest number will by nature excuse great harm being inflicted dailymail.co.uk/health/article… if they have data suggesting overall improvement for wellbeing. But also, I am still relatively buoyant & happy now due to lockdowns which inflicted great harm over, & pleased with my efforts at surviving (getting new job & biz almost back pre pandemic levels for Xmas anyway.)

So called science demonizing meat based on multi level false accounting. Largely funded by Gates Wellcome Grantham & other WEF, or ideological (eg Poore vegan Ripple Adventist) bias. My pov, absence of co produce of livestock SHOCKINGLY bad omission when garment trade = 10% global emissions almost entirely down to synthetics with short time to landfill as not durable. Livestock = much more durable clothing & eventually biodegradable. But moreover, insulate too. I have had 80 yr old sheepskin

@katerobinson925 @DrMatthewSweet @GBNEWS Yes Rothschild. Part of the WEF agenda is the issue nothing else. The Economist has relentlessly pushed the WEF agenda which is based on seriously flawed metrics & drivel re sustainability etc and there is no disputing it; especially not straw man ant Semitist conspiracy. As ImageImage @katerobinson925 @DrMatthewSweet @GBNEWS for left globalists yes, what short memories they have. They are now literally defending WEF and claiming conspiracy theories in pathetic attempt to support the very elite & its Corporatist unelected agenda which they should oppose
