So much beautiful snow photography (stock footage etc) comes from Wisconsin. It's well known for snow and snow research. Sad to see the landscape changing over there

Surprised to see none of the comments mentioning the 4B movement
It's a concern already for low-lying atoll islands like those in the Maldives and Tuvalu. Half of Tuvalu's capital city is expected to be flooded by 2050, but they've been seeing the effects for years unfortunately.
It really depends where you are though - my town is at around 100 m elevation and about 80 km inland. When I was a kid, my mum used to have nightmares about tidal waves coming over the horizon because she was so scared of sea level rise.
Where were you when I was doing a research project on wheat!? I'm not based in agriculture science at all, but supposedly, wheat in South Africa has the lowest carbon footprint in the world, but we still didn't recommend that the client used wheat from S. Africa because it didn't seem sustainable and the yields were low. I had no idea it was that bad, though.
Interesting, thanks! Whilst supposedly simple, I think it might be pretty counterintuitive to some people. I've often seen that dryland farming is lower carbon footprint per kg of food produced (i.e. per bag of flour), but carbon footprint isn't all that matters to the environment (and I'm not entirely sure I trusted those sources anyway).
EDIT: Thought more about it and definitely agree even in addition to the carbon footprint thing. When doing carbon footprint calculations, people don't take into account the possibility that the land could be used for something much better (i.e. rewilding).
I've never heard anyone complain about dry land farming before! I've had a brief Google and all the sources I can find are pro dryland farming because it's more sustainable/resilient/uses less. is there analysis somewhere that says otherwise?
I've been keeping an eye on the ensemble since early last week - at one point it was forecast that Cornwall was going to get 6 inches of snow! Snow is notoriously tricky to forecast unfortunately
I saw the bakeries one first - fooled me into thinking this was sincere haha
In Sweden they have kebab pizza (kebab meat, iceberg lettuce, raw onions, salad cream) - it's actually great but it's horrific microwaved. They also have "banana curry" pizza (did not attempt)
Jasmine green tea (occasionally with oat milk) or oolong is usually my favourite. In terms of English breakfast tea: definitely Yorkshire Gold!
I wouldn't add a stick of cinnamon - it's way better freshly ground to make proper masala chai :)
it's a feminist movement, in backlash to misogyny and pro-natalism in South Korea (it's becoming more widespread, though). The 4Bs are the "four no's":
It gets a lot of pushback and is called selfish etc. but women are very angry & upset that the government only sees them for their reproductive use, and it's reasonable to not want to date someone who doesn't view you as human.
