@adrianmcmenamin Quite. I don’t think he can run at them and score. Hence he has to hope for edge of the box foul. And we are due a decision our way!

@adrianmcmenamin Saka needs to run with the ball into the box and hope the French give away a penalty.

@GrahamRobb I'm 60 years old. I've never witnessed a more incompetent UK government.
The Conservatives can keep changing their leader but the incompetence remains.

RT @JenBartram: Check out these absolutely AMAZING ice pancakes! They were captured by Paul Sundin when paddle boarding on the Tyne near Hexham.

They form when swirling eddies of water freeze. Good enough to eat! 🥞

@JTynrhos @forestsandwood @TimberDevUK @CEIBois It’s fairly simple. The only structural building material that can replace concrete & steel responsible for 12% global carbon emissions is timber. No conifers = no net zero = massive biodiversity loss.

@CasMudde Sachs spoke in the European Parliament around 3 or 4 years ago. He pulled in a large crowd and he nothing to say, hugely disappointing.

No idea if the article is any good but this is a great front cover.

@JTynrhos @forestsandwood @TimberDevUK @CEIBois Forestry planting has moved on since the 1960s. Below is the most recent new forest which is clearly no monoculture. The biodiversity is higher than many would think, including a red squirrel stronghold at Kielder Forest see: https://www.confor.org.uk/news/latest-news/biodiversity-forestry-and-wood/

@NQOsprey @forestsandwood @TimberDevUK Key point to note: both food and timber fibre production have increased on a farm that hasn't increased in size. Biodiversity also up.

@NQOsprey @forestsandwood @TimberDevUK It's not an either or. An agroforestry approach allows for significantly more trees on farms while maintain a high level of food production. Add in degraded/under used land & land released from a reduction in meat consumption as recommended by independent Climate Change Committee

@JacotheNorth That was quick reply, so clearly you haven't had the time to read either the Friends of the Earth report or the Confor report.

@JacotheNorth Commerical forestry produces the timber to decarbonise the built environment, see https://policy.friendsoftheearth.uk/download/why-we-need-more-trees-uk Plus biodiversity higher than many realise eg Kielder Forest last stronghold of red squirrel in England https://www.confor.org.uk/news/latest-news/biodiversity-forestry-and-wood/

@ForestDefence @jonat5nu @forestsandwood @TimberDevUK @CEIBois We'd put the figure at 20% on average. I guess we can agree that whether it's 10 or 20% this is too low & from a climate perspective we should all be trying to grow (pun intended) this percentage year on year.

@ForestDefence @forestsandwood @TimberDevUK @CEIBois How do Forest Defenders suggest we decarbonise the built environment which is responsible for 40% global carbon emissions? How do we house an extra 2 billion by 2050 without blowing the whole carbon budget on concrete & steel?

@JuliaC_Fern @ForestDefence @forestsandwood @TimberDevUK @CEIBois European forests are all harvested at below the annual growth increment ie it’s sustainable. Timber & paper replacing fossil fuel products. Define ‘massively’ in this context.

@jonat5nu @forestsandwood @TimberDevUK @CEIBois You can get two or more rotations of conifers in the same period as it takes to establish a native forest hence you can sequester more carbon. The key is to continue to store the carbon in long life wood products.

🐦🔗: https://n.respublicae.eu/PaulBrannenNE/status/1600878122819153920

@ForestDefence @forestsandwood @TimberDevUK @CEIBois Good question. Because of the age class of trees ie we have lots of older trees whose carbon sequestration has slowed. Plus our forests suffering from climate change stresses. Therefore we need to plant more.

@lowcarbonsimon @forestsandwood @TimberDevUK @CEIBois I'm hoping Confor will put all the conference contributions up on their website but will chase.
