And we agree. You can't plant trees to offset it either as it takes 20 years for a tree to mature enough to make a difference. The best way forward is to actually go backwards, to rturn to the times when we used local shops, not supermarkets and the internet. Food produced locally as much as possible and not shipped in from thusands of miles away. But that idea would be abhorrent to those who think it would mean those dreaded 15 minute cities amd also to those who enjoy their easy lives wothout a care for the world we live on. Besides, the pwerful corporate goons and their political friends would never allow it. | | | |

Even then, what happens to the co2 when the tree dies. it goes back to the atmosphere All life is carbon based. We cannot be carbon neutral, it's either in the atmosphere or the oceans. in other words it's all in equilibrium. Yes. it takes a long time, but this is what's been happening for ever | | | |

Most people in India are living on the edge and survival is the focus, China will do what it likes regardless of what the population, Russia doesn't give a fcuk, Brazil is going in the wrong direction. If anyone thinks the UK is going to solve the global issue they need their head read. | |

No one thinks UK is going to solve the global issue. The UK people and other Western countries are leaders where all other follow. If this carbon market works in Europe and the developed world it is reasonable to assume it would be transferable to elsewhere including topical area and areas where deforestation is cracking on at a frightening pace. Also China and India. The idea is to give finacial incentives to not destroy the environment. If it works in this experimental market it can be adopted elsewhere in the future. At present there is a finacial benefit in chopping down tropical forest and build palm oil plantations. One concern it o how institution land owners would actually create wealth for local farmers. At present we a sophisticated nation of Wales cannot keep our beautiful rivers like the wye fit for fish. There are chicken farms all along the waterway with 60 million birds. So how come planning permission was given? Boris and co wanted 'to cut red tape' for businesses and this means a neutered toothless Environment agency and Welsh version. Cutting red tape means they can put guano in the river. [Post edited 14 May 19:14]

Point by point, If we are leaders then why are the really big players not following? India, China, Russia AND the USA. They do as they please. Deforestation, we are planting small amounts of trees but inother places they are chopping down thousands of acres of mature trees, it's disastrous. Palm oil....BAD https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20211025-palm-oil-the-everyday-ingredient-tha I'm not aware that our environmental laws have been watered down since brexit. I stand to be corrected there. Weren't most of these chicken farms in place before we left the EU? The Welsh version is as strong as the Senedd decides, if it is toothless it's not because of brexit but because of weak Welsh politicians who pronote rubbish ideas instead of doing what really works. | | | |

As planning is devolved you can see what a fcuk up this is rather than a well defined strategy. The daily struggle of people in counties like India and China are far from life in Western Europe and governments in Russia and Brazil just are not interested and grow their emissions year at will. There's a narrative about carbon that is not reflected in the issue of biodiversity. If I told you insect activity is down 70 percent in the last couple of decades you'll get an idea of the problem we face. Food chains collapsing and pollination rates dropping across the globe and we get told to buy a solar panel and an electric car. CO2 is part of the natural system and can be managed, extinction of animals and plants is irreversible but you can't make money protecting habitats. | |

The policy of " cutting red tape" for business has been a favourite of political people for some time predating Brexit. I remember the " bonfire of quangos" 30 years ago. India and China are developing nations who are slowly realizing they have to clean up. There is no point being rich and living in a shilt hole. I am shocked in 2024 we are still taking about filthy alkaline rivers where fish cannot breathe. What have they been doing for 30 years. Send letters have meetings and achieving nothing.. Doing the right thing in UK is still the right thing irrespective of what others do. They want to live like us and even we have a lot to do. Doing the | |

They’ve definitely been watered down since Brexit. There are now around 36 pesticides and poisons used in this bounty that are banned in the EU. I appreciate the source is the Guardian which was anti Brexit and could therefore be perceived as biased, but it dimes things up pretty well. There are numerous other sources out there which corroborate what’s happening, but this article pulls a lot of it together. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/jan/19/the-uk-environmental-protect | | | |

Experts claim the global warming is from the excessive use of fossil fuels. This is releasing heat energy and carbon formed in a geological period when the planet was a lot warmer. Biomass is considered green because the carbon emitted is from living trees not stored carbon in the ground from geological history. The fossil fuels release excess carbon ito the system such that it warms the planet and this is not harmonious. Given that the climates is always changing it is difficult to prove. I personally remember much colder winters. | |
