Someone will ask why an account about nutrition and training has made a dozen posts on a bull in Ledbury, a goat without borders, and a ewe with a complicated relationship with topographic dips.

Here is why.

Because the argument that these animals are destroying the planet is not a fringe position. It is in the newspaper. It is in the policy document. It is in the dietary guideline. It is being taught to children and repeated by adults and acted on by governments and it is wrong, and it is wrong in a specific, demonstrable, measurable way that becomes obvious the moment you look at an actual field with an actual animal in it.

Gerald is not an abstraction.

Keith is not a statistic.

Doris is not a carbon calculation.

They are specific, real, working animals doing specific, real, measurable things to specific, real pieces of land, and the argument against them has never once required anyone to look at the land.

So we looked.

And the land is fine.

The land is better than fine.

The land is a meadow in Ledbury, a fell in the Lake District, and a Devon field with a rank corner that Keith has been improving without Brian's permission for four months.

Come back tomorrow.

There's more.

Statement @COP28_UAE High Level Action Agenda closing plenary

Highlighting my reaction on the new GST text that replaced the language of “phasing out fossil fuel” by “reducing productions & consumptions” by 2050, while reiterating 1.5 & guidance by science! Pure contradiction!

[Hindou @hindououmar]

This morning we welcomed @COP28_UAE President Dr Sultan in Indigenous Peoples caucus @iipfcc to discuss the endgame of negotiations. He expressed that his presidency will put #IndigenousPeoples alway in the center of the COP
We look forward to a binding decision #ClimateAction

[Deepa Senapathi (she/her) @deepa_sena]

We have to make the biodiversity-climate nexus a reality & to do that we require implementation for a just transition. We need equitable change that respects nature, says @hindououmar - an Indigenous leader from Chad & Head of @AFPAT_

[janet rogan @JanetRoganUK]

I have added @royalafrisoc to this letter to urge all Parties to come together for a 1.5 solution. And we need #COP28 agreement on a global goal on adaptation #GGA connecting to the #SDGs and enabling countries to capture their adaptation and resilience needs and achievements.

[COP28 UAE @COP28_UAE]

Expectations are high: “I hope you have seen the letter that has just been released, signed by over 1,000 Scientists, CEOs, Indigenous Peoples, Mayors, Governments, Youth, Health Professionals, and Faith Leaders - all urging Parties to come together around a rapid response to the Global Stocktake.”

-COP President, Dr Sultan Al Jaber
