'Doomsday' overkill

Written by  The Hound

OPINION: In a memo, rich guy Bill Gates didn't become a climate change denier, but he did give the world a dose of common sense, saying we should redirect efforts away from the campaign to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and instead focus on other ways to improve human lives and reduce suffering.

He advocates for a recalibration of priorities, urging a shift in investment towards areas like global health and specific technological solutions for climate adaptation, rather than focusing solely on near-term emissions goals.

Your old mate reckons that should be food for thought for those in power trying to strangle farm production in order to meet pointless emission reduction goals!

OPINION: Among the many satisfying jobs on the farm is shifting our Angus heifers onto fresh pasture. They love it. Tails up, they gallop around for a minute, then it’s heads down — those long, raspy tongues pulling in mouthfuls of lush green feed.
