Didn't take long for the govt to bite the hand that feeds them. Laying the blame for climate change on the farmers. Massive traffic jam as they protest.

Seems the crisis has morphed from CO2 to nitrogen

The Dutch top court, the Council of State, ruled in May that Dutch rules for granting building and farming permits breached EU law on protecting nature from nitrogen oxide emissions such as ammonia and nitrous oxide, prompting a halt in thousands of projects including new roads, housing blocks and airports.

Nitrogen oxides play a significant role in air pollution and biodiversity and nitrous oxide has a stronger greenhouse gas effect than CO2.

Last week an advisory committee said drastic measures were needed, both in farming and on Dutch roads.

Liberal MP Tjeerd de Groot called for livestock production to be halved, meaning six million fewer pigs and 50 million fewer chickens, prompting a furious reaction from farmers.
The farmers complain that they have been ignored by Dutch media while the climate change protesters have a louder voice

He blamed intensive livestock farming for much of the Netherlands' nitrogen emissions problem and argued that the key to the future was modern, sustainable agriculture.

Imagine that, not just whining on some meaningless ag forum. Actually doing something about it.

Different crisis - nitrogen pollution and the regulation around "nitrogen vulnerable zones" has been an issue for a long time in Europe with restrictions on how much farmers can apply depending on location.

It’s interesting that you seem to constantly watch this “meaningless Ag forum” just so you can criticize everyone and also let everyone know how brilliant you are.

Eventually the weather wobblers will find fault with all hundred plus elements, so to be extra safe Ms. Mckenna will just ban molecules.
