Absolutely horrific 😦😮🤬🤬
It's hard to get your head around the scale of the environmental vandalism the Labour government is hoping to unleash. The Planning and Infrastructure Bill is up there with Trump's executive orders. And the reason is the same: corporate power.

Climate models make statistical predictions - there's a certain chance this or that could happen given particular inputs.
This new paper highlights that there is a small, but real, chance things could get much worse than generally expected.

Even moderate CO2 emissions could lead to 7°C of warming by 2200
There's a small chance of very high warming even with moderate future emissions, according to a computer model exploring what could happen in the next thousand years

Important thread on the so-called climate benefits of 'regenerative' ranching over industrial beef production.
In short: there aren't any.
And that's before you even factor in the vast opportunity costs to natural ecosystems, and how that loss impacts the climate – *independent of CO2 emissions*.

There is no scientific evidence for any meaningful climate benefits of "grass-fed" beef, as many people, including myself and @gnrosenberg.bsky.social, have long been saying. This news study in PNAS further strengthens this point.

It's hard to believe this is happening. The Dartington Trust, here in South Devon, is behaving like Donald Trump: it seems to have no conception of the value it is destroying. This is its latest act of mindless vandalism.

If the world went plant based 🌱 we could free up and rewild 75% of current agricultural land and still be able to feed 8 billion people on the remaining 25%. And we *need* these restored carbon sinks to effectively remove excess carbon from the atmosphere 🌳🌲
The Vegan Land Movement is making things happen - with your backing! 🌳
Buying up land used for animal agriculture and returning it to nature, with a big planting push.
If you're a badger, bat, deer, hedgehog, fox, frog, mouse, squirrel - they're a safe haven in a sea of industrial devastation.

As of last night 1550 carefully selected wet woodland tree species are now ready to be planted this weekend. We will be posting footage of this when complete.
