It’s hot

[BlueHammer85]

Pretty much record temperatures everywhere.

The thing about meat consumption CO2 figures is that it's almost always based on US and South American farming which has cows being fed corn and grain on bare land to fatten them up as much as possible, and because they're eating food you deliver to them you can have a lot more cows/hectare.

The usual British method of farming beef raised and finished on grass means you aren't growing huge swathes of shitty quality grain for feeding the cows, and the very grass they live on counteracts the methane and CO2 emissions - and a lot of our pasture land can't be used for farming crops because it's too hilly for combine harvesters or exposed to such shit weather that you can't get a profitable yield.

This is one of the reasons why these post-Brexit meat trade deals with Brazil and the USA are going to be so bad for the environment. We've got to protect the animal wellfare stadards we have before the tories can gut them completely, and we're all eating shitty meat from half the world away that's being farmed in the worst way possible.

In danger of derailing the thread here, but we should be eating venison, rabbit and even sheep I suppose - venison and rabbit are plentiful to the point of needing a cull, and sheep (mostly) defy intensive farming compared to other animals. As an island we probably need to learn to eat proper (sustainable) fish again too.

The temperature must have dropped 5-10° since 8 o'clock this morning. I doubt it's 20° right now.
