NEW: i spoke to nine (!) scientists across several disciplines whose work was cited in the new Department of Energy report that downplays the severity of climate change. all of them say their work was misrepresented, cherry picked, and/or lacked context —
"Helping biodiversity", says a milk carton.
Yeah, *right*.
Ireland's dying river and lake ecosystems, not to mention endless dairy prairies of sterile monoculture ryegrass, would beg to differ.
After 2 years of work, I've finally taken delivery of an actual printed copy of my second book 'The Magic of an Irish Rainforest: A Visual Journey'.
I've done my best to capture the essence of these priceless, but mostly dying, ecosystems, and am over the moon with the results. 🌎
Amazing news
Many people think of sally (or willow, as it's mostly known outside Ireland) as a sort of 'weed' tree.
But it's actually one of the very best native plants for insects, and an all-round ecological superstar.
It's not just rafts of young trees, wildflowers, and other flora that erupt when land is freed from overgrazing. Any existing trees transform, often almost beyond recognition.
This exposed Atlantic sally, for eg, having long battled the wind alone, now throwing out a great mass of new basal shoots.

It's utterly depressing how many respondents to this post seem to believe the main issue here is wasted wool, rather than the waste of millions of acres of land that could be bursting with nature, but are instead empty.

Never forget:
Pet cats are one of THE most effective ways ever discovered by which we (yes, we humans) exterminate native wildlife, continually, on an inconceivable scale, all over the planet.
But there are two main determinants of capital spending in the UK:
A. Will it generate massive and lucrative contracts for big business?
B. Can ministers pose beside it in a hard hat and yellow coat?
