Replying to @latimeralder
1. If a greenhouse captures waste CO2 from a nearby factory or a clean bioenergy system, it recycles carbon that would have escaped anyway.
If a farmer burns extra natural gas or diesel just to create CO2 or heat the greenhouse, that burning releases new greenhouse gases.
2. Climate change is a real and present danger. Atmospheric CO2 is the main driver. You may have noticed that farmers are having real problems growing food because of changing climate and extreme weather.
Please, take our planetary systems seriously.

It takes 20 times more land than solar panels to produce the exact same amount of energy. 🤯
We are stripping farmland, pouring on synthetic fertilisers & chemicals, destroying the soil, burning diesel and calling it "green".
It’s an absolute green scam. 🌽❌

Please support our chalk streams.
Mists Farm has a chalk stream running down the centre of it. The waters are crystal clear, but there is hidden menace in the excess nitrates from other farms upstream.
These nitrates reduce spawning success for salmon.

This is a link to a Natural England feedback form on the Wild Beaver 🦫 release licence application process. Do you think you could complete it, but by saying at every opportunity that the process is way too slow and bureaucratic

swift brick chat in the House of Lords, at Zac Goldsmith’s event ‘Saving Swifts From Extinction’. This week The Planning & Infrastructure Bill committee will likely vote against the swift brick amendment. Please email your MP asking them to sign this edm.parliament.uk/early-day-…

After 3 years of the media covering my campaign, I slightly lost my patience with the government. I told it like it is to Patrick Barkham. Read the whole article theguardian.com/environment/…

How much do you love swifts? Enough to email your MP this link, simply asking them to sign it? edm.parliament.uk/early-day-…
It’s an EDM which is like a petition just for MPs & it’s v important as many as possible sign ✍️. Easy & quick for MPs to do!
We showed our local MP Sir Desmond Swayne and his wife Lady Moira around Mists Farm today.
We discussed how rewilding can help reverse biodiversity loss and significantly sequester CO2.
We also discussed swifts:

🧡@ECHR_CEDH has ruled for the first time that country's governments failng to properly address environmental pollution is a violation of the human right to life.
This is hugely important for existing and future environmental human rights cases 👉 clientearth.org/latest/press…
We had a great day today at Mists Farm planting disease resistant Elm Trees to create Wood Pasture. Brilliant for nature and biodiversity. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped.

COP continues to fail us– and our planet . There were 1,700 fossil fuel execs present at conference , larger than any other delegation . That’s why we’re angry– and it’s why I’m petitioning the Government to ban fossil fuel ads and sponsorships .

#RewildingWin: Bill to ban bottom trawling in marine protected areas passes Lords ballot.
This is fantastic news! Just last year, an unbelievable 33,000 hours of suspected bottom trawling took place in our marine protected areas.
