And all of that is happening on just one farm in one county.

Here, though, is what we need to find room for nationally.

New land that's going to be needed by 2030.

120,000 hectares for wind turbines.

Hello, good morning.

You're very welcome to the programme.

130,000 hectares of grassland for anaerobic digesters.

Between now and nine at sixes and sevens in Offaly, fleeting fritillaries in Kilt Air and thank you but no thank you in Roscommon.

11,000 hectares for solar panels, 65,000 hectares of re-wetted bogs, 70,000 hectares of new land under tillage.

Very, very, very good morning to you.

I hope that you are well.

Do stay with us between now and nine.

Two things happened this week.

That's just by 2030.

In the longer term, a half a million hectares of new forestry is going to be needed to achieve a government target of 18% forestation.

More weird and wonky weather.

It has never been that hot this early.

Pleasant weird weather, I will grant you, but wonky nonetheless.

All that new land is the equivalent of Carlow, Louth and Kildare in their entireties.

And then the day after records were smashed, the EPA released a mountain of numbers showing that we are only in the foothills of the mountain that we have to climb to address global warming.
