Comment on This is not satire. They UN deleted it from their page just now, but I found two archived versions
SirAleric@wolfballs.com 2 years agoYeah I was going to mention the food processing plants catching on fire all over the place. Big coincidence.
It's funny that the dutch government cited "reducing harmful nitrogen emissions" as their reason for passing the legislation which hits farmers. It's like they don't know the atmosphere is naturally 70% nitrogen already. Such a bunch of bogus.
Yes ! Its fucking my head. WTF is Nitrogen emission ? Most of the air is fucking nitrogen. No amount of manmade N2 release will make a dent since plants and bacteria reabsorb it on a planetary scale
Its just the latest Climate faggot excuse to control people

So... a bit of digging. They actually mean NOx "Nitrous" not N2 'Nitrogen'. Typical journalisming
Apparently amount of fertiliser exposed to air is higher than their climate goals. They want to reduce fertilizer use, thus landgrabbing farms:

That link helped me to understand what Nitrous oxides used in fertilizer actually do. Seems like it's not a huge problem unless it gets into the atmosphere.
The Dutch gov't's decision to reduce the use of these fertilizers could also have something to do with the fact that much of the world's nitrogen fertilizers are produced in China, Russia and India. I can imagine that there is a shortage of these fertilizers in the western world as nations take sides in the current conflict. So perhaps the government restricting their use in the Netherlands is a way to cover up the fact that the farmers couldn't get fertilizer if they actually needed it, and so preserve the illusion of stability for a while longer. Here's the stats on global fertilizer production, found from a quick Yandex search: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1252656/nitrogen-fertilizer-production-by-country/

Like you said, common sense solution to prevent air exposure would reduce emissions. Only way to reduce 95% is to shutdown farms and not produce food. Dutch govt tried this since 2019 (found old news articles). Only explanation given is climate agenda
Sri Lanka last year banned fertilizers. They got 1/6th the yield - 84% less. All farms failed
One year later. Today they are starving and bankrupt. Military is commanded to shoot protesters

It's nuts how much large-scale farming depends on fertilizers to yield enough for everyone in society. I am curious about whether a failing economy and starvation plays into the hands of the GR agenda, since it seems that economies are being deliberately killed and starvation enabled.
