Industrial fish farming is bad enough in coastal areas, in the middle of England, next to a river that already struggles with pollution - it’s an obscene idea, a pursuit of profit over all other considerations and Wiltshire Council needs to stop it

Lough Neagh and its one out-flowing river, the Bann (pictured), are a warning of where Ireland's water bodies are headed without action on excess nutrients: beautifully rich ecosystems turned into slimey, dying, stinking, open sewers.

Last year we wrote about what this means in the oilfields.
"...emissions of methane that had negative economic value at the time. It was cheaper for the companies to vent it than sell it. That means we all end up paying the cost for their pollution."

We Can Solve Climate’s Methane Crisis—And Without New Satellites or Regulations
New regulations, and satellites such as MethaneSat, very likely will not cut methane emissions. Natural gas industry economics will instead continue delaying their needed reduction
