    How to REALLY reduce your carbon footprint

    I wish there was a simple like button. But, anyway, I find myself avoiding BirdForum a lot these days, and particularly anything that is not actually about a bird. It seems to have become a popular place for the pub bores as you say where anything that suggests people might have to change...

    Fracking banned in UK because of earthquake fears.

    Not actually banned. They have done what the devolved administrations have done and placed a moratorium on fracking (ie, a temporary suspension of the activity). Choosing this avoids the fracking companies being able to challenge an outright ban through the courts. A moratorium can be put in...

    Countryfile this evening.

    Hahaha.... even your slurs are stereotypes. You are correct though regarding the ease of pigeon-holing right-wingers.

    Countryfile this evening.

    Wow! You are actually a living, breathing right wing stereotype. Can you clarify - are you also a devotee of Jordan Peterson and an incel? The latter seems likely. Oh, by the way - good birding.

    new paper on the Ivory-billed Woodpecker

    new paper on the Ivory-billed Woodpecker

    Upon assuming power in 1959, Fidel Castro’s government began to implement an aggressive national reforestation program. In large measure this program responded to a grave national concern given the country’s deforestation trend. From the time of discovery to 1959, the total amount of land area...

    More alarmism 'Ecological grief':Greenland residents traumatised by climate emergency

    Mainly people don't respond, I suspect, because all of this has been gone over time and time again and all the denial tropes have been thoroughly debunked. I'm not willing to waste my time arguing with you. But, I will point out that no-one who accepts the findings of climate scientists would...

    Wise move or Inevitable

    My understanding of burying power lines is that there are serious problems with cooling - as mentioned by Bird_Bill. I had been told that buried power lines would need to be in pipes that contained a coolant - oil was the medium claimed when I was told this. Also, there would need to be...

    Thanks for the comments. I should have stated that the bird was said to be much bigger than a Buzzard. I had it down as a Changeable Hawk-eagle before I asked for opinions here.
