Just had a nice message from a Vegan. “I love your work. I just want to add that you might appeal to Vegans by mentioning that animals need not ever be killed and eaten, just allowed to breed naturally growing their population to further heal the Earth.”
Unfortunately, Nature is

Addressing the cause of biodiversity loss, desertification & climate change through management & policy development that is holistic.
- An ecologically illiterate person with a large megaphone doing immense harm to all humanity unintentionally tragically.Basically sums it up.
- Right what critics demand - greatly reduced sheep. Left managing holistically using greatly increased sheep numbers to address climate change. Science vs emotional beliefs.
- Our grass because of over 400% increase in cattle running with great increase in elephant, etc What @GeorgeMonbiot & fans calls anecdotal because academics agree with one another that something they have never studied & don’t understand is not supported by science!
00:00 - One side being destroyed by too many sheep the other managed by US National Parks service - no sheep & thousands $ spent on soil conservation works. One condemned the other praised. Surely we should be able to tell the difference after 40 years? @GeorgeMonbiot
- Most amazing reversal of biodiversity loss & desertification fueling climate change that I have ever known - and at no cost. All we ever need to do is to address the cause of any problem - it is as simple as that. This was achieved by greatly increasing all animal life - wildlife
- Replying to @AllanRSavoryIn 1960s I worked out how cattle could reverse desertification & documented results including an international trial. In our Orwellian world proof by authority is science while documenting results is anecdotal.
- By email @GeorgeMonbiot says he can’t find a venue for us to debate in London & is too busy to do so. He asks my wife & I in Africa to arrange it Will do our best while not understanding why it is hard for a Guardian columnist living there. Will keep interested parties informed
- This is why I fear for future generations due to such monumental institutional stupidity. American agriculture, including the severe desertification even in some National Parks in the Western States, is the most environmentally destructive ever in history. Vast regions larger
- Oh how I wish we could have Monbiot & any climatologist debate with me before such unscientific animal bashing rubbish does further damage to all life on earth by furthering global desertification and climate change. Can anyone arrange that?Replying to @GeorgeMonbiotI've spent my working life telling people what they don't want to hear, so I'm accustomed to receptions like this. But I don't think shooting the messenger is going to help farmers understand and face what is coming.
- Our river flowing clear & 2 nearest rivers same time. We have far more cattle & wildlife. Difference is management they herd cattle traditionally & we herd cattle as habitat management tool using the holistic planned grazing process - a world of difference
- No contrast can tell more than boundary contrasts. One side ignorance & overgrazed by sheep - other side millions dollars spent on reclamation & no livestock now about 100 yrs. The best government, universities & environmental organizations know how- Tell me which is which?
- My dispute with @GeorgeMonbiot & fans is sadly not constructive & just pitting people believing in managing holistically, embracing all science, against those believing management should be reductionist with little understanding even of what “science” means.
- I genuinely dislike being negative or critical but all of humanity faces greater danger now than ever. The global loss of biodiversity, leading to desertification fueling climate change and feeding on each other couldn't be more serious. If it continues all businesses,🐑 NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS 🥩 Our research team summarise a new research paper titled ‘The nutritional value of meat should be considered when comparing the carbon footprint of lambs produced on different finishing diets’. 1/8 🗣️ “As with all ruminants, if sheep consume a 100%...
