Defra's new Farming Roadmap brands farming Britain's biggest emitter by 2050.
Total nonsense, and they know it.
Livestock methane is a short natural cycle, not fossil carbon. Our soils, grass and hedges lock carbon away every year. And the figure is skewed by the maths they choose: GWP100 counts a steady herd's methane as if it piled up like fossil CO2. Measure it properly, with GWP*, and a stable herd adds next to no new warming.
Meanwhile the planes keep flying and the factories keep running, and everyone else "decarbonises" on a spreadsheet by buying offsets and pulling our land out of food production, 9% of it, in fact, whilst on the next page planning to increase production and our food security. Quite a magic trick that!
Same old game. Blame the farmer, bill the farmer.
This solves nothing. Farming isn't the problem, it's part of the solution 👍

@JeremyClarkson
Brilliant lesson although its 10 years not 8

Donald Trump discusses getting rid of the estate {inheritance} tax on family farms in the USA because of the financial and mental health impact on farmers. Keir Starmer awkwardly looks on in silence.

A brilliant summary of how the UK government are hoovering up huge amounts of tax revenues on the back of farmers providing our food security.

New:📊 Gen Z (aged 1997-2012) attitudes towards countryside ORB poll for @_FutureCountry ⬇️
🎤 Jeremy Clarkson and Sir David Attenborough better celebrity representatives of countryside, over Chris Packham on just 5%.
👨🌾 Farmers considered better ‘champion’ of countryside by mile, beating eco activists and politicians.
📺 Wild Isles (Attenborough) and Clarkson’s Farm are the shows that best represent rural life, over Countryfile, Escape to the Country, Emerdale and Springwatch.
🐺 Rewilding considered low priority. Top priorities for farmers include ‘animal welfare and ethical treatment’, ‘food security’ and ‘looking after natural environment’.
🤝 Overwhelmingly view the countryside as being both welcoming and an important part of their heritage worth preserving.
📱 Social media including Instagram and TikTok responsible for driving young people into the countryside.
⛔️Barriers for Gen Z visiting the countryside include lack of phone signal and not knowing where they’re allowed to go.

‼️ Increasingly more evidence suggests that the British public are returning to meat and dairy, and shunning plant-based food - much to the chagrin of vegan and animal welfare activists.

Leaving a job, starting a business? That is a bloody difficult decision. You're putting it all on the line, with absolutely no guarantee of any success.
It goes wrong, who's to blame? You. Nobody else. There is no safety net. And that's exactly how it should be.
You work hard, you succeed - you're rewarded. If it doesn't come off, you're not. Fair enough.
Wealth and success are seen as dirty things. NO. We want high-minded individuals operating with each other, with as little Government intervention as possible. That is what any society should strive towards.
But I really do want to stress this point to any politicians reading. It is NOT easy, and it is NOT straightforward.
They don't understand, because they haven't done it.
A big majority of MPs have had an easy career.
No sleepless nights about paying staff, unpaid invoices, fighting for contracts and so much more. It is stressful. It is really bloody stressful. I know, I have been there more times than I care to remember.
What's the politician career path? University, work for an MP, become an MP, shadow minister, minister. Maybe a sprinkling of union work or at some nonsense think tank. It means NOTHING.
I get so depressed thinking about it all. We are governed by RANK amateurs. A five year old with a lemonade stand has more business experience than most of the cabinet.
Reeves, Reynolds, Lammy, Rayner, Miliband? I'd fancy my chances with the toddler - at least they're sincere.
Investing in talented people is a passion of mine. Often it works, sometimes it doesn't. But I love it.
I would not give a PENNY to ANY of this lot - their combined experience, or what we believe of it, couldn't run a corner shop.
The men and women who take risks, generate wealth, create jobs deserve our respect - they are what drives the economy forward.
This Labour Government needs to have a long hard think about what they are inflicting on these people. If they carry on down this path, there won't be a private sector left to tax.
My message to small businesses is this - keep going. It is worth it, but it will be a very challenging few years.
I wish you all well.

Lapwings are so protective towards their eggs: a very strong example comes from this one, which didn't move even when the tractor came very close.
