Something is afoot.

    If he’s changed wouldn’t he know what the issue was? It’s a little worrying that he hasn’t made the connection if that’s the case.

    I don’t see this as a change of opinion, just a severe lack of understanding as a whole.

      Is it possible a tweet doesn’t contain the entirety of his thoughts on the subject?

        Plenty more characters available, could have made himself not seem so clueless or oblivious to what he’s done and did or even for the future.

        Climate change is serious, would work instead of something is affoot for example.

      Change is rarely immediate or miraculous. He’s moved a little, hopefully he continues on that path.

      I won’t hold my breath, but I won’t refuse to accept that change has occurred. Slight though it may be.

      It’s probably just promo for the next season of clarksons farm where he’ll plant a bunch of milkweed in the field that had the poor mustard harvest last year.

      Jeremy does at least try to be somewhat environmentally conscious with his farm. Last season he was making a big focus on responsible hunting, renewable farming (less chemicals), using non-arable spaces for small scale harvesting (forest berries and herbs as well as putting hogs in the forest instead of a field), and utilizing the most of the space we have(growing mushrooms in an abandoned bomb bunker instead of building something new)

        I feel like this is the sort of conservation that conservatives should be all about. Rather than conserving wealth.
