Why are rare medicanes becoming more common?
The flash flood that has killed thousands of people in Libya this week followed a "medicane", a rare but destructive weather phenomenon that scientists believe will intensify in a warming world.
when i first saw the thumbnail i assumed it was someone stirring paint with a paintbrush.
i know that's not specifically climate change etc. causing that, it's probably excess nutrient runoff from ag etc.
i've seen comments on twitter that a lot of farmers resent the way the IFA seem to favour dairy farmers (who are usually the wealthiest farmers)
In general the waterways up north are very poor compared to the republic. They've loads of intensive agriculture like piggeries and battery chicken places
Farmers are going to be producing 100% of people's food* no matter how people change their diets, so it's obvious the IFA is speaking for a particular subset of farmers rather than them all

or about 12 phoenix parks.
i wouldn't have classed cereal as a veg either way, but "Over 253,000 hectares of land was Ireland is engaged in tillage farming, or the annual production of crops for harvest in 2018."
or 358 phoenix parks, to stay with the now standard measure. or about the size of county roscommon.
according to another teagasc document, the growth of cereal is 'predominately (sic) for animal feed'.

I've never seen Lough Neagh.
It seems like an amazingly ignored and under promoted place, especially to us Southerners.
