That is probably the unspoken objective.

That victory Dutch farmers just won in provincial elections might literally save the world.
After massive demonstrations against government targeting of nitrogen fertilizers to fulfill a UN zero carbon agenda, the BBB (BoerBurgerBeweging or “Farmer-Citizen Movement”) party picked up a significant bloc of senate seats.
It was a major rejection of Prime Minister Mark Rutte’s environmental policies, as Reuters reported in “Dutch farmers’ protest party scores big election win, shaking up Senate.”
According to a final tally reported by Eva Vlaardingerbroek on 19 March, the number of seats gained was 17, more than enough to turn back environmental directives that would destroy the Dutch farming sector.
But the significance is far greater than just farmer livelihoods in the Netherlands.
Nitrogen fertilizers are crucial to sustaining the world’s food supply, and banning their use as part of “net-zero” carbon goals could literally starve half the world.
That’s the warning of a new report called “Challenging ‘Net Zero’ with Science,” compiled by two longtime pre-eminent climates scientists, William Happer, Professor of Physics, Emeritus, of Princeton University, and Richard Lindzen, Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Atmospheric Science, Emeritus, of MIT.
The report was released by co2coalition.org. It says that extreme goals of the so-called “green energy” movement are built on decidedly unscientific premises.
And they make no bones about the disastrous consequences that would result from following a course that continues to try to phase out the use of nitrogen fertilizers:
“As to the disastrous consequences of eliminating fossil fuels, it ‘is estimated that nitrogen fertilizer [derived from fossil fuels] now supports approximately half of the global population.’3 As one of us (Happer) has made clear, without the ‘use of inorganic fertilizers’ derived from fossil fuels, the world ‘will not achieve the food supply needed to support 8.5 to 10 billion people.’
The authors cited Sri Lanka as a cautionary example of how devastating this one facet of the “zero carbon” agenda is already playing out:
“The recent experience in Sri Lanka provides a red alert. ‘The world has just witnessed the collapse of the once bountiful agricultural sector of Sri Lanka as a result of government restrictions on mineral fertilizer.’5 The government of Sri Lanka banned the use of fossil fuel derived nitrogen fertilizers and pesticides, with disastrous consequences on food supply there. If similarly misguided decisions are made eliminating fossil fuels and thus nitrogen fertilizer, there will be a starvation crisis worldwide.”
Deceptive Goals, Corrupted Science
The report details various ways in which climate activists have pervasively distorted actual science to further an ideological agenda.

Bravo for the Dutch farmers! A crucial election win against the corrupt madness of the fraudulent “climate change” alarmists. I pray the same happens here in NZ and we can stop the madness from progressing here.
Poppiecat, well said …………. it all starts with people thinking.
Do we have thinkers in NEW ZEALAND ??
Most of our readers are at least. 🙂
Thanks “Alicewon’tbevaccinated”. I think the people of NZ will take a long time to wake up. Sadly, there are so many who have been brainwashed by the continuous propaganda of the past three years and this propaganda continues to grow. Great to know (by your name) that you are unjabbed:). I am too! And will never take the poison. X
Where is the News Coverage regarding the Dutch Farmers in the overall win in the provincial elections on NZTV1, or is it a matter of showing off the rediculase Climate Change edicts of this Goverment together with a NZ Labour dictated Media/Broadcasting System?
