Global warming

Haven't thought about global warming for a while now, but how do we know its real? Like I don't see too much difference in the climate since I was a nipper. Lots of rain in the 1970s lots of rain now, some hot summers (1976) and some not so hot, like this year. I do however see a fall off in Jack Frost in the winter time, that's for sure, so there has been a subtle change, but then the planet has always been changing, ever since it was created billions of years ago . . . .

So what's new!

I have a perfect notion of what regenerative agriculture is and that's the problem, I know your making **** claims for it.

Reducing emissions to zero. Entirely achievable with the technology we already have.

Reduce or eliminate the majority of long haul bulk transport. Localized food production as much as possible. Electrify bulk transport by rail for those items not amenable to local production. Continue and accelerate the roll out of renewables to supply the bulk of our energy. Convert to local organic agriculture for the bulk of our heavy food staples.

Localize work to reduce the majority of communiting.

Nothing is easy, and applying an approach of doing exactly what we currently do with less energy just isn't going to cut it. The future looks very different to the present.

You have made wild and exaggerated claims about regenerative agriculture, I am arguing against your wild claims.

Convert to local organic agriculture ? How many millions would you allow to starve ? Because that is what would happen . Modern globalised agriculture for all its failings ( and it has many ) feeds a significant percentage of the Western world, cheaply and safely. What organic agriculture produces is minimal by comparison .

Some people want us back in the stone age.

I've always found it interesting how many of the Green party are descended from the Irish ascendency. The green agenda is just a modern outlet for their instinctual need to interfere with peoples lives.

”reduce or eliminate the majority of long haul bulk transport”

Ok how? We don’t produce many goods that we import into this country- for example EVs and ICE cars. How do we reduce this without destroying the car sales and parts industry.

“Localised food production as much as possible”

How? We can't grow a fraction of enough fit for human consumption grain in Ireland- the land is not suitable for it.

Your next two points I agree with although we will still need natural gas for when high pressure moves in over Ireland during winter (fyi this leads to low wind and winter= low solar)

Now, your next point:

“Convert to local organic agriculture for the bulk of our heavy food staples”

This is a dangerous idea coupled with your first and second points.

Organic food wouldn’t be able to support our population and your idea of not allowing bulk delivery of items (including food) from other countries would probably lead to famine.

Your are living in fantasy land.
