The conclusion of the study is well worth reading. It confirms "the potential amount of land that could be freed up for other uses is so large that it represents a significant additional benefit, adding to the long list of reasons for promoting & (at the individual level) adopting plant-based diets"

23,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 joules. That’s the amount of heat the oceans absorbed in 2025. A number so huge it’s almost meaningless…until you realise it’s roughly 40× humanity’s annual energy use. The ocean is buying us time. We’re running out of it. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

It’s a mark of the corruption of our whole way of thinking about the world that trying to meet a planetary emergency is routinely described as “ideological”, while continuing to accelerate it is presented as “pragmatic” and “economic”.

The Tories promised that they'd fix it but did next to nothing even as they sought to all but bribe pensioners with the triple lock pension. Now we'll have the right demanding to know how it's all going to be funded... This needs solving and it would be so good if partisanship could be put aside.

Faragists rely on the narrative of "men on boats" creating a de facto Fifth Column in the UK to feed their agenda and to stir up hostility and to win votes and ultimately power. Suckers fall for it. Media boosts it. We've been here so many times before and you'd think we'd all wise up but hey ho
