‘Decarbonising the energy system will be much too expensive. Instead, I propose upgrading every bit of hard infrastructure worldwide, transforming the entire global food system to make it resilient to unprecedented temperatures, and managing the migration of millions of people.’
My leader in this week’s @FarmersGuardian, on the huge response to Tuesday night’s ELM story.
Pick up a copy of the magazine tomorrow for plenty more news and analysis 🗞
Fmr Environment Sec George Eustice has spoken about the post-Brexit UK/Australia trade deal in the Commons. He says now no longer a minister: "I no longer have to put such a positive gloss on what was agreed...the Australia deal is not actually a very good trade deal for the UK."
One point missing in discussion on tax break for oil and gas firms investing in oil and gas development is why it's needed. The government is offering sweeteners cos the firms are wary of taking on the massive stranded asset risks.
PLEASE HELP:
I'm thinking of replacing my EV with a gas car. I've never owned one so I wrote down the 9 questions I got so far.
1. The car dealer said I can't refill while I sleep. Is that true or is there a workaround?
(1/9)
A picture's worth a 1,000 words and it couldn't be any clearer:
UK energy bills are skyrocketing because of very high wholesale gas prices

A #farminggoal achieved this morning. Drilling wheat direct into a big cover crop with the fantastic @HorizonAgri DSX. Many thanks to @topcat_2006 for the seeder upgrades this week and to @OakbankGame for the summer fallow seed mix.
“Our results demonstrate that weeds now represent a greater inherent threat to crop production than before the advent of herbicides and integrated, sustainable solutions to weed management are urgently needed to protect the high yield potential of modern crop varieties.”
Hedge cutting: some balance🧵
I see a lot of outrage over hedge cutting. And this gives me so much hope, as it shows a level of emotional investment in these wonderful habitats
Often, this frustration is justified, but sometimes its a little misplaced. Let's have a closer look..
I am a massive supporter of the BBC and believe passionately in the independence of its programing. But I am furious that they have taken @maitlis off Newsnight for calling out the truth. It seems that politics and the media have been tainted by the wanker Dominic Cummings.
