Stars rewilding forests are contributing to the loss of grazing grass vital for food security, says farming union chief. The Telegraph has more.
Celebrities who plant trees to salve their conscience are contributing to the loss of British grazing grass, the President of the National Farmers Union has said.
Minette Batters said that the value of cattle and grasslands in helping to limit climate change and provide food security was being overlooked by a “ghastly conversation of trees versus meat”.
“Vast tracts of the country that should be growing grass are growing trees, now,” she told a sustainable farming conference this week.
“We’ve got celebrities salving their conscience by planting blimming trees and they should be growing grass. And then you should be having livestock that eats grass.”
Ms. Batters did not name which celebrities she had in mind. Last year, Ed Sheeran said that he planned to “plant as many trees as possible” to help offset his carbon footprint.
The singer, who owns a 16-acre estate in Suffolk, told the BBC: “I’m trying to buy as much land as possible and plant as many trees as possible. I am trying to rewild as much of the UK as I can. I love my county and I love wildlife and the environment.”
Supermodel Kate Moss has also said that she wants to “build a forest” on land she has bought in the Cotswolds, while singer Geri Halliwell has spoken about her own rewilding plans, including planting trees.

I read the synopsis and decided washing my hair would be a better way of spending a wet afternoon.
It reminded me of the other nudge, nudge Hollywood Eco nonsense The Day After Tomorrow, where Denis Quaid struggles through apocalyptic levels of snow, which has destroyed New York and killed most of the inhabitants, but manages, somehow, to save his own son who has miraculously survived.
Nonsense on stilts.
But surely it’s a story about a marginalised expert who goes against the settled science and proves all others wrong and is a hero for doing so…

Nope, you can’t research that. The Science is settled.
When I hear that idea – that The Science is ‘settled‘ – I think of sewage works and the vast settling tanks where all the sh*t settles at the lowest point.
Some of it floats to the top = experts.
Off topic but Tommy Robinson has been released on bail. You can hear a conversation he had on the phone with his ex before he knew he’d be bailed which explains the details of what happened. He continues to expose the corrupt system therefore he continues to be seen as Public Enemy number 1, despite never having held a flag of jihad in his life. Crazy;
”I can now confirm that Tommy has actually been released, he is on bail, and the police have taken his phone.
I want thank everyone (as does Tommy) who have been out protesting for him today, it absolutely made a difference.
Tommy has asked me to upload the conversation he had with his ex wife while he was detained for terror related offences.
We will be able to update you all tomorrow.”

This is apparently how ”justice” works in the UK;

I read TR’s book ‘Enemy of the State’ nearly ten years ago. An excellent read. Highly recommend.
David Icke was warning about Police abusing ‘Terrorism’ laws about 15 years ago.
It certainly demonstrated that reliance on “Experts” that are incompetent at understanding the big picture of their opinion is a bad idea. No shortage of that at present.
“Experts” like Farrar, Fauci, Vallance and Whitty understand perfectly well the “big picture” – a big picture that includes career advancement, power, money, kudos and the chance to advance their political ideas.
There are many excellent storm chasers providing excellent footage of tornados as well as security cam footage of tornados up close.
