    The fog didn’t stand much chance today. I haven’t been to the cliffs in a long time. Must go soon.

    Pretty blustery here now just outside Ennis but nothing too bad.

    Just back from work now, rough enough night outside but hopefully the worst has passed. There was serious rain and wind all evening and lots of branches down on the road. Our power is gone so the place is in darkness, be lost only for the torch on the phone.

    That doesn't matter now. The report got backed by the media at the time and the vegan lobby got its publicity. A climb down by the WHO will get a 10 second mention on the news on RTE while the report got days of attention and debate.

    Damage is done. Truth doesn’t matter on social media, getting your message out first with huge attention is what matters and what people will remember.

    Its good to know because everytime this Frankenstein vege diet or similar gets thrown at you as being approved/ the best/ gives you wings - it's easy to point out one the EAT report itself has been debunked and that the WHO has dropped it like a smelly issue of underpants. ;)

    I wouldn't worry, Brian. They're behind in this conversation again.

    While they're getting their knickers in a twist from virtue signalling about reducing their meat consumption once a week, the worlds CO2 concentrations continue to rocket due to their favoured energy intensive lifestyle.

    And the worlds oceans are past their buffering capacity to absorb this extra CO2 which has masked their lifestyles true cost.

    And the only possible way to absorb that extra CO2 is to sequester it in soils, which has only 30% of the worlds available surface area. And there's an increasing amount of published research and even more anecdotal evidence of the speed that pasture, managed correctly, can absorb huge amounts of carbon from the atmosphere and keep it securely sequestered.

    Look up David R. Montgomery and Gabe Brown and download some samples of their books and have a look at Allan Savory on YouTube and some of the amazing work he has done in the Sahel in restoring the ecosystem and fertility there. And most importantly, the carbon he has reintroduced into the depleted soils of the region.

    Livestock farming is a good place to be in to prepare for the future.

    On the subject of trailers I see that tri axles are becoming very common place in 12 foot trailers recently. I've a 12 foot double axle Graham Edwards which I'm happy with but it's fairly hard pulled and tends to sway a bit when empty. Has anyone a tri axle 12 foot and are they easier pulled or steadier on the road?

    A lot of the places I frequent with the trailer are awkward and as my Land cruiser is lwb I think that a 12 foot trailer is big enough. A 14 foot would mean extra capacity of course but would be even more awkward in these tight spots than my current setup. The Graham Edwards is doing the job fine but I'm considering a 12 foot tri axle Hudson as it might be easier pulled and steadier on the road. Changing to one with the wheels underneath would increase the capacity slightly while maintaining the same overall length but I have no experience with those types of trailer.
