Good pun

[Bernard]

Ha ha. Actually it was unintentional. But the Freudian connection strikes again!

I read somewhere there are plans to fit cows with pants, and to collect the valuable gas.

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

Tailors from Bond Street?

[Bernard]

Perhaps, although the richest farmers will prefer garments from Savile Row. And for the poor farmers, the rural pound shops will provide basic, yet serviceable, items.

Of course humans also produce such gases, so a rich harvest awaits here also .....

Nationalisation? Is there another revolution in the offing? Are the tumbrils to be rolling again?

☀️ Could "dimming the sun" help turn down global heating?

🌡 It might sound like science fiction, but some are exploring solar geoengineering tech to stop temperatures rising.

⭕️ They say it's relatively cheap and simple - while others warn it could be catastrophic. Why? 🧵 https://t.co/4PoNthWims

Drought across various parts of the world

[Bernard]

Drought continues in UK. But some substantial rain has reached us today, though unfortunately none in Berkshire.

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

Europe's worst drought in years has pushed the mighty river Danube to one of its lowest levels in almost a century, exposing the hulks of dozens of explosives-laden German warships sunk during World War Two near Serbia's river port town of Prahovo https://t.co/xsC35uLRTi 1/5 https://t.co/2Lhsw4P5Dd

[Bernard]

A bad situation indeed. But I have learned about Prahovo.

[Bernard]

I went into a shop in UK, a country which produces delicious apples, and I bought some apples, which are from ..... Brazil.

Amid a drought, the Dinosaur Valley State Park has discovered dinosaur footprints that have historically been covered by water and sediment.

They date back more than 113 million years. https://t.co/CaNjE394M8 https://t.co/o2V5JGAfAk

Heavy rain finally falling in Berkshire, UK.
