Dutch Farmers Become Ungovernable After ‘Climate Change’ Agreement – Opinion

You won’t see it on any of the alphabet networks, but a protest movement is exploding in the Netherlands after the government moved to shut down farms in order to “fight” climate change. As part of an EU deal to curb the release of nitrogen, the World Economic Forum pushed for the controversial decision.

This is how becoming unreachable looks.

Massive protests are occurring in the Netherlands as Dutch farmers are protesting against the government’s rules that would limit carbon and nitrogen emissions out of their farms, says Sky News host James Morrow.

Farmers protested around the Netherlands over the government’s new policy which would see the country slash nitrogen oxide and ammonia emissions by 50 per cent by 2030.

“Massive massive protests, they’re blocking highways, they’re blocking traffic – I’ve seen them even spraying manure on government offices,” Mr Morrow said.

Out of all the elements of the green agenda that are harmful, no one is worse than those who put in restrictions on the world’s food production. I’m not in support of targeting anything to “lower emissions” because I believe it’s spitting into the wind to make wealthy elites feel better about their lifestyles. But even though I support this agenda, food is not the right place to be focused. European leaders might be virtue signalling that the temperature may rise a little over the next century, but they should also care about providing food for their citizens before the world collapses.

This is exactly how European nations, particularly those within the EU, operate. They are run by privileged, spoiled brats who don’t bother to weigh the costs of their policies because they assume the United States will jump in to save them if things ever get too bad. That’s obviously true regarding NATO considering how little the European members spend compared to the US, but it’s also true regarding energy and food.

EU members have large natural gas and oil resources, but they refuse to frack or drill to extract them. Why? The US is going to ship them more LNG. They are now destroying their food production capacity, believing the US would supply them with enough LNG to meet any shortages. But what they aren’t taking into account is that the US has its own problems and is no longer in a position to constantly pick up the slack for European leaders who refuse to govern with some semblance of common sense.

Here’s the bottom line: European nations looking to commit national suicide on the altar of climate change are playing with fire. Even normally passive Dutch residents will be forced to accept so little before forcing their way back. The farmers clearly aren’t violent extremists, and if the government attempts to treat them as such, things will only devolve further. The WEF and EU as well as other global elites need to realize that they are only in power for as long as people allow them to.
