Clarkson also says he is worried about climate change and sees the effects of the changing weather on his farm. Yet he denies meat-farming is a significant contributor. “It’s horseshit, it’s just nonsense. The left are very noisy there. But it’s just not true,” he says. He argues that because methane breaks down quickly “anyone who’s ever farted knows that methane breaks down in about 30 seconds”, it cannot have a sizeable effect on global warming. This view is counter to the scientific consensus.
“There was a girl that came to work on our farm earlier this year when Kaleb was away, she’s in her twenties. Her dad inherited the farm from his dad. She would like to inherit it from him. But there’s no money to pay her. So she works on the farm four days a week and then is a nurse for three days a week. She never goes on holiday. She never has a night off, can’t go out. She’s got no money to spend. “It’s desperate being a farmer. I don’t know what the weather is like in London now. They’re out here in Oxfordshire in the pouring rain feeding their animals so that you and everybody else in the country can eat. “She learns everything there is to know about farming in the hope that one day she will inherit. But she will now face an inheritance tax bill of £600,000. Where is that money coming from? The only thing she can do is sell the farm. So all that knowledge she’s accrued, gone. She’s on the scrap heap, the farm is on the scrap heap.”
