On the subject of COP24, I thought the UNFCCC had learned a lesson, since numbers seemed to be down at COP23. However, this year it seems it's business as usual:

"COP24 will take place in Katowice from the 3rd to the 14th December 2018. 30 000 participants from almost 200 countries will arrive to decide about the most important directions of climate protection. COP24 will be attended by the representatives of governments, diplomacy, NGOs and researchers, business and other groups interested in solutions to climate changes."

""Preparation of such a huge event is a logistics challenge which requires contribution of many people from the country but also volunteers. Thanks to them, visitors of COP will move around the city easily and enjoy attractions prepared for them,” said Agnieszka Lis, the Proxy of Katowice City Mayor for NGOs."

"What do we offer?
We have special „volunteer packets” for volunteers which will consist of a uniform, badge, souvenirs and a certificate. We provide a hot meal and drinks, insurance and free travel pass. We can also provide documents of participation for student apprenticeship for those interested. Volunteering at COP24 provides a chance to participate in the international event, get experience and gain new skills as well as a chance to meet new people."

Dependable, reliable, and kept out of sight, to allow space for irresponsible, unreliable and clueless partygoers and activists.

Look at the Logo for COP 24 Katowice. I see something broken, disjointed, and coming apart. My congratulations to the designer for getting it past the UN's IPCC.

Love it!

A brilliant article on the hype that spirals up and out from Climate Science. Putting Climate Science into a death spiral is easy - stop funding it with taxpayer's money.

" ... as they want to have livestock between the trees."

I may have to listen to The Archers again.

Not much plant life can survive beneath conifers, so any livestock will require feed to be imported , meaning an equal area of agricultural land will need to be dedicated to providing food beneath the trees.

Mature deciduous woodland does provide sufficient grazing for a few deer, but they will be eyeing up the greener grass on the other side of the fence, especially if it is next to a railway line or motorway.

If you want to destroy the ecosystem beneath mature (ancient?) deciduous woodland, the best thing to do is put pigs/wild boars in it. They grub up everything they can, not just truffles. A pig with an attitude problem is dangerous, wild boar tend to have attitude problems, and have tusks to resolve any dispute arising out of their attitude problems.
