Would be helpful if Mainstream Media played a positive role in helping to bring Peace to Ukraine, instead of continuing to promote a stupid War which is leading to more + more deaths every day...
RT @RnaudBertrand: This is quite noteworthy.

Georgia is a beautiful country, a beautiful people, with an amazing history - It's shocking to hear the people talk about the brutal reign of Saakashvili - 10% of the people of #Georgia were persecuted, many tortured - And we listen to MEP's in the #EU calling for his release...?

The #EU used to have good relations with #Belarus but Western Powers have driven the country into the Arms of Russia. The reckless expansion Eastwards by #NATO hasn't helped - And neither has our support for the fictional leader Tsikhanouskaya....

There is also a vast amount of domestic peat extraction land in Ireland. The 2015 Irish Peatland Strategy suggests its a massive 612k. This could also be a possible option to contribute to the agricultural target, if some such land holders were incentivised to rewet.

Coillte have committed to rewet 30k hectares by 2050. 79k from Bord na Mona and another 30k from Coillte EXCEEDS Ireland's agricultural target of 116k for 2050.

Bord na Mona have committed to rewetting 79k hectares. In Art 9.4 paragraph 2 of NRL proposal there is no limit on the amount of peat extraction sites that can contribute to agriculture target.

Read the words on the page and look at Commission impact assessment, p480. Ireland 's 2050 rewetting target is 116k hectares (ie half of 70% or 35% of total drained peatlands under agriculture, or 332k hectares). Let's end the disinformation and stop scaring farmers.
