Every second row of trees were taken out of a local forestry here and all the trash was left so I presume that's releasing carbon now.
I think the climate change experts may think it out again..... the idiots.
It's ironic that most of it is going to burn for electricity, thousands of tons were stacked here locally for burning

Just updated that - roots are actually estimated at 20% carbon

I'm a real Halloween grinch. Cant wait for it to be over. Have colcannon cooking and money wrapped up to go into it. Have grapes and apples hanging off strings. Delighted there should be no trick or treaters calling around. Have pumpkin in the window too.

How much oil and coal will that wood replace?

I'd imagine a 30ton lorry of coal would last many times the length of a load of timber in the power station, They do be drawing cross country here and they have all the little roads wrecked ,

Don't forget to dust off the broomstick as well.

Tbh haven't seen any trick or treaters out at all. Normally we'd get the neighbours kids calling. Kids been kept at home i reckon.

Edit: Would this help :pac:

We had reverse trick or treaters here. Came and dropped bags of sweets to the two girls and off they went to drop bags with a few other kids in the family.

Rotting wood builds up humus in the soil, not all is released as carbon.
I think the figure given the other evening on Building Ireland was Ireland has 7% of the worlds peat.
That programme on the building of Turough Hill power station was very good.

There was a few dog trailers being towed today around here on the roads.
They were probably just making sure the tyres were ok..

It's the trouble is there was only one point in this planet's history that that coal was made.

The Carboniferous period.

You can replace trees grown now.

You can't replace coal.

And the carbon in the coal would last longer in the ground too

That's how the regulations with no stoves allowed in new builds came about.
It's mostly just from the air particulate point of view.

Do they want to ban sex too?

Want and doing are two different things.
In the country in existing builds and approved woodchip and woodpellet burners it'll continue.
There's grants still available i believe for new housing estates to be run on a single community biomass burner. I'm not sure there's been much uptake though.

I think it's prohibited even within the 5km travel limit.
Completely stalled at the moment under L5.
Unless there was an 11th hour reprieve I didn't hear about.
It begs the question... How can angling still go ahead, surely the same draconian rules would apply.

Yeah should have clarified. Banned for sporting groups. I believe an individual landowner can still shoot on their own land etc.

translate hurley to Irish = Camán (noun)
translate hurl to Irish = caith (verb)


Is Hurl new age or historical
