Environment to benefit from ‘biggest farming shake-up in 50 years’ | Farming | The Guardian
https://www.theguardian.com/...v/30/environment-to-benefit-from-biggest-farming-shake-up-in-50-years

Wildlife, nature and the climate will benefit from the biggest shake-up in farming policy in England for 50 years, according to government plans.

The £1.6bn subsidy farmers receive every year for simply owning or renting land will be phased out by 2028, with the funds used instead to pay them to restore wild habitats, create new woodlands, boost soils and cut pesticide use.

The wealthiest farmers – those receiving annual payments over £150,000 a year – will face the sharpest cuts, starting with 25% in 2021. Those receiving less than £30,000 will see a 5% cut next year.

Some of the biggest recipients of the existing scheme have been the Duke of Westminster, the inventor Sir James Dyson, racehorse owner Prince Khalid bin Abdullah al Saud and the Queen.

Farmers will also get grants to improve productivity and animal welfare, including new robotic equipment. The goal of the plan is that farmers will – within seven years – be producing healthy and profitable food in a sustainable way and without subsidies.

An escape route for seafloor methane

Leakage from frozen layers was a puzzle, but a new study shows how the potent greenhouse gas breaks through icy barriers
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/11/201130155832.htm


Methane, the main component of natural gas, is the cleanest-burning of all the fossil fuels, but when emitted into the atmosphere it is a much more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. By some estimates, seafloor methane contained in frozen formations along the continental margins may equal or exceed the total amount of coal, oil, and gas in all other reservoirs worldwide.

YMLADRIS: jo. spolecna komunikace, ktera zahrnuje to, ze vsichni zucastneny se vyprofilovavaj v tom, co prinasej, taky zahrnuje mysleni a spolecnou imaginaci, zaroven ale nakonec je tam to, ze se dospiva k tomu rozhodnuti, tj. vybira se nejaka cesta.

TADEAS: jo to je super. překládám si to jako "jestli máš strach o děcka, vynech dneska jeden díl seriálu a zkus se zamyslet nad životem vaší rodiny a pak zase a zase"

A sea turtle’s sex is determined by the temperature of the sand it’s born in; rising global temperatures mean that female green sea turtles now outnumber males 116 to 1.

YMLADRIS: moje perspektiva je, ze limitem je komunikace a spolecnej decision-making, jak ho provadet, facilitovat, aby se vyjasnilo, co je smyslem pro zucastneny, co je jejich spolecnym smyslem, jaka je kvalita zivota, na kterou aspirujou a jaky zdroje k tomu potrebujou a jak ty zdroje maj vypadat (bejt managovany) do budoucna, aby ta kvalita zivota byla mozna :) ... message ty bezmocnosti urcite nesdilim, naopak je potreba posilovat k ty zodpovednosti za a privlastneni si toho co delame, dusledku, moznosti upravovat smer... nezacina to u "vydelat vic penez", ale u spolecny definice ty kvality zivota a spolecnyho smerovani.

TADEAS: ad kde se asi realne bude moje rodina vyskytovat. v tomhle mam prave hrozne elitarskej pocit (moje rodina ma relativne celkem dost otevreny moznosti, aspon zatim), nevim jak mam o tomto mluvit s lidma, kteri resi svuj nekonecnej kolobeh penize - vztahy - problemy - 9-5 otupujici peklo. Obcas se me nekdo pta, co ma teda intergeneracne delat, jako ze jestli se ma clovek odstehovat na vesnici?? (jako bych o tom neco vedela.)

Z myho pohledu jediny uprimny pro normalni lidi je neco jako "nemuzes delat prakticky nic, jses v krysim zavodu moc hluboko, nauc deti meditovat"

budu rada kdyz mi ukazes jinou perspektivu

SHEFIK: ty chceš dělat něco bez toho aniž bys to lidem vysvětlil a podložil to argumenty? To je super nápad, naše vláda to teď třičtvrtě roku s covidem a funguje to úplně báječně

LINKOS: jednak drzim palce a jednak se zeptam - prioritou bude marketing (treba jako dela babis), nebo stale zachrana klimatu?

nejak nam ty priority zacinaj narustat. uz to neni jen zachranit svet, ale taky vysvetlit, ze to zachranovani jim vlastne lidem pomuze :) a klima je zrovna jednoduchy tema u kteryho zacit

...asi muzem s listem priorit pokracovat az se dostaneme k funkcni demokracii a rizeni statu

SHEFIK: fatalni je taky tahle uzkost pohledu, kdy je jako takhle nebezpecny vyhodnocovany to bezprostredni riziko (jako priklady co uvadis). protoze skoro vzdycky asi vystupuje intenzivneji to, co je bliz, nez to, co je dal. to ze to tak je, nic nemeni na tom, ze to ma ty fatalni dusledky :) a ze ta tragedie je pak v tech vzdy zuzenejch horizontech takrka neviditelna. kdo vidi, jak je zivotni prostredi degradovany, zraneny? TADEAS ... bezne skoro nikdo, protoze baseline se nastavuje v detstvi, dospivani a to jsou moc kratky useky na to, abychom chapali, co se deje sireji.

takze vuci prosrany mitigaci a vuci moznejm scenarum vyvoje mi neprijde extremni premyslet generaci dopredu o tom, kde jsou socialne a ekosystemove dobry mista, protoze "potom", az to uz bude nutnost, bude na tyhle uvahy prilis pozde.
