  1. when it rains nitrogen occurs naturally and there lies the problem, it not emissions, its nature and its good for the soils, ever heard the term nitrogen rich soil, thats right rich, its good for the soil.

  2. As a EU citizen I think I speak for the majority when I say we are ready to sacrifice fuck all for net zero up until all the rest of the world has done the easy part, what purpose is there in cutting production when China will just make up for the loss of production and emissions? It has to be a collective effort done by all the top economies simultaneously, not by economic martyrdom.

  3. Dutch farmers party won provincial and senate elections with a landslide.
    So now the government has to decide: Go with the farmers and against the EU regulations or with the EU regulations and against the farmers.

  4. Do not believe those estimations about emissions! The EU wants to ban all farming because they want to establish an imported food only market!
    The protests are everywhere, not just in NL because these rules are being implied in other countries, too.
    The EU is starting to illegally take the property by proclaiming " ecologically protected zones " on private land and the farmers are forbidden to touch it.
    It's a refined theft!

  5. Tell you what: have each of these farmers goes out to the Maldives, finds an islander living there, and convinces that islander that they should willingly lose their home to the waves for the sake of the neatherlands. Once they've done that, and personally taken responsibility for their actions, Then they can keep their cost saving BS.

  6. I'm late to the party, but here's a solution that can be implemented ANYWHERE in the world: halt population growth and work towards decrease.

    All else will follow because of supply and demand. The only thing we have to see to work around is pension for the retired (read: redistribute global wealth EQUALLY, but that is utopian…)
