Which is almost worse than the Tories decision IMO, Labour have to show that they’re ‘different’ to give voters no choice other than to get the Tories out.

Two points in response, apparently the tree isn’t dead, and so perhaps in 10 year’s time a coppiced sycamore might fill the gap. Admittedly not the same, but the historically coppiced tree in the landscape is a good connector to the past history of the site. When we lived in Cumbria and walking in the woods above Ennerdale one wood often spot centuries old holly trees that had been coppiced long ago by mediaeval charcoal burners.
In a different way the Borrowdale yews are also reminders of an old tree’s amazing survival capabilities. It no longer looks ‘pretty’ but instead looks pretty amazing…
I doubt it, same mass histeria created and people will be told to stay indoors and wear masks etc. Which actual data has shown to have barely any effect at all. Travel bans brought in for what actual purpose when all the countries had the same virus? Sweden vs Norway for similar geographical and population density data.
Driving around my bit of France, really shocked to see the de forestation occuring.

I think this was in the Guardian some months ago. If you look at the figures of how much hydrogen there is, it seems to be a drop in the ocean in real terms, and not what is being hyped.
Pity!
COPout28 won’t help or make any difference either.
Sadly, I have to agree. Not really the right place to host in.
Yes, as I said…
Another step in the right direction.
Do read it all in order to be annoyed at the waffle in the last two paragraphs, from the increasingly desperate International Association of Oil and Gas Producers.

I think it’s about time that individual states took their own stand on glyphosates…

CCS is definitely magical thinking. Do not be fooled.
They already do. Just because the EU Commission has approved its use doesn’t preclude member states from maintaining their own legislation banning it. France being the prime example.

Quelle surprise. As we would say in England.
I dread to think how much slush money this looks like those b4$t4rd$ Monsanto must have pumped in the direction of the deciders this time around.
Monsanto no longer hold the patent for glyphosate. It passed to Bayer (a German Company) some time ago. Strangely, Germany abstained on renewal of approval, as did Austria. The ‘yes’ votes came almost exclusively from eastern European countries, the ‘nons’ from Pays Bas, Belgium and Luxembourg
