Those of us who follow social media will be aware that farmers in Holland are resisting government demands that will seriously reduce the numbers of their livestock.
Is this to reduce the dreaded CO2?
No, it's to reduce "nitrogen pollution".
You know, nitrogen, the major component in our atmosphere. The reason why farmers down the ages have rotated crops so that nitrogen can be resupplied ("fixed") into the soil to enable new growth.
No farmer will survive a thirty percent reduction in his output, given the cut-throat prices doled out by the supermarkets.
Bear in mind also how much of their output is destined for the UK, that same UK that imports much of its food and that is already paying farmers to produce less. Just saying.
Technocracy news has the story.
