class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A war against farmers has emerged, threatening to push them off the land they\u2019ve farmed for generations. As small and mid-sized farms close their doors, governments and corporate entities can scoop up the land.&nbsp; Those in control of the land control the food supply and, along with it, the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Canada,&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>Trudeau\u2019s Liberals have announced a goal of a 50 percent reduction in emissions from fertilizer,<\/strong>&nbsp;a major producer of nitrous oxide, over the next seven years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFertilizer Canada slammed the government\u2019s short-sighted approach, arguing that reducing nitrogen fertilizer use \u201cwill have considerable impact on Canadian farmers\u2019 incomes and reduce overall Canadian exports and GDP.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They may as well slam their heads against a barn door. When it comes to Canada\u2019s re-invention as a socialist state, nothing will knock the communist ship off its course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA report compiled by Meyers Norris Penny suggests that regulated fertilizer reduction could&nbsp;<strong>cost Canadian farmers $48 billion by 2030 and reduce crop sizes.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Justin Trudeau has waged war against his own country since the day he became PM in 2015. This man doesn\u2019t like our country very much, and in particular, maintains&nbsp;<strong>an innate hatred toward working class Canadians.<\/strong>&nbsp;Perhaps it\u2019s because he has never been one. Then again, it could be part of a larger plot unfolding within society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was destined to roll around eventually: an&nbsp;<strong>attack on Canadian farmers under that gloriously green, climate emergency banner.<\/strong>&nbsp;This recent Trudeau move involves limiting the usage of fertilizer \u2014 a substance, when delivered in its most smelly, natural form, reminds us of what the federal Liberals have long shoveled upon Alberta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cutting the bull and arriving at the meat, so to speak: the government intends to effectively<strong>&nbsp;reduce farmers\u2019 use of fertilizer by 50 per cent<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 in scientific terms by limiting the use of the key ingredient nitrous oxide \u2014 as part of its bid to severely reduce carbon emissions and<strong>&nbsp;thereby fight accelerating climate change.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Farmers, instead, want any fertilizer reductions measured by how much food is produced compared to the amount of fertilizer used<\/strong>, something western growers are striving for already, as growing more for less saves them money in addition to curbing emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, when there\u2019s a global food emergency looming due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, such a practical step would seem eminently sensible.&nbsp;<strong>But no, Trudeau is demanding an absolute reduction in usage, which will naturally result in less food being produced.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#cf2e2e\"

stupidity was undoubtedly&nbsp;<strong>spawned when our prime minister<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 always looking to one-up any country competing in the green-morality sweepstakes \u2014<strong>&nbsp;learned the Dutch government intended such a move.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the Netherlands that immediately resulted in\u00a0<strong>mass protests by furious farmers,<\/strong>\u00a0who closed highways with tractors, brought cows to the capital, threatening to slaughter them on parliamentary steps, while blocking vital food distribution centres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"723\" height=\"558\" data-attachment-id=\"288610\"

areas in the Netherlands that are now protected against nitrogen emissions. Any Dutch farmer who operates their farm within 5 kilometers of a Natura 2000 protected area would now need to severely curtail their nitrogen output, which in turn would limit their production\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dutch dairy farmer Nynke Koopmans with the Forum for Democracy believes&nbsp;<strong>the nitrogen problem is made up.<\/strong>&nbsp;\u201cIt\u2019s one big lie,\u201d she says. \u201cThe nitrogen has nothing to do with environmental. It\u2019s just getting rid of farmers.\u201d Another farmer said if&nbsp;<strong>new nitrogen rules<\/strong>&nbsp;go into effect, he\u2019d&nbsp;<strong>have to reduce his herd of 58 milking cows down to six.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Nitrogen scientist Jaap C.

He told Balmakov:8<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cThe whole policy is based on the deposition mode<\/strong>l about how to deal with nitrogen emissions on nature areas.

They still continue using it,<\/strong>&nbsp;which is, in a sense, unsettling. I mean, really, can we do such a thing in terms of policy? Use a model which doesn\u2019t work? It\u2019s never about innovation, it\u2019s always about getting rid of farmers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/arxiv.org\/pdf\/2211.15780.pdf\">Nitrous Oxide and Climate<\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paper&nbsp; by C.

A. van Wijngaarden.&nbsp; Excerpts in italics with my bolds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Higher concentrations of atmospheric nitrous oxide (N2O) are expected to slightly warm Earth\u2019s surface<\/strong>&nbsp;because of increases in radiative forcing.<strong>&nbsp;Radiative forcing<\/strong>&nbsp;is the difference in the net upward thermal radiation flux from the Earth through a transparent atmosphere and radiation through an otherwise identical atmosphere with greenhouse gases. Radiative forcing,&nbsp;<strong>normally measured in Wm\u22122,<\/strong>&nbsp;depends on latitude, longitude and altitude, but it is&nbsp;<strong>often quoted for the tropopause, about 11 km of altitude<\/strong>&nbsp;for temperate latitudes, or for the top of the atmosphere at around 90 km.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>For current concentrations of greenhouse gases, the<strong>&nbsp;radiative forcing per added N2O molecule<\/strong>&nbsp;is about&nbsp;<strong>230 times larger than<\/strong>&nbsp;the forcing per added carbon dioxide&nbsp;<strong>(CO2) molecule<\/strong>. This is due to the heavy saturation of the absorption band of the relatively abundant greenhouse gas, CO2, compared to the&nbsp;<strong>much smaller saturation of the absorption bands of the trace greenhouse gas N2O.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>But the<strong>&nbsp;rate of increase of CO2 molecules, about 2.5 ppm\/year<\/strong>&nbsp;(ppm = part per million by mole), is about 3000 times larger than increase of&nbsp;<strong>N2O molecules<\/strong>, which has held steady at around&nbsp;<strong>0.00085 ppm\/year since the year 1985<\/strong>. So, the contribution of nitrous oxide to the&nbsp;<strong>annual increase in forcing is<\/strong>&nbsp;230\/3000 or about&nbsp;<strong>1\/13 that of CO2<\/strong>. If the main greenhouse gases, CO2, CH4 and N2O have contributed about 0.1 C\/decade of the warming observed over the past few decades, this would&nbsp;<strong>correspond to about 0.00064 K per year or 0.064 K per century of warming from N2O.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Proposals to place harsh restrictions on nitrous oxide emissions<br>because of warming fears are not justified by these facts.<br>Restrictions would cause serious harm;<br>for example, by jeopardizing world food supplies.<\/mark><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Resource:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/rclutz.com\/2023\/05\/28\/flawed-science-behind-nitrogen-crisis-briggs-and-hanekamp\/\">Flawed Science Behind Nitrogen \u201cCrisis\u201d (Briggs and Hanekamp)<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Footnote:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.mercopress.com\/2022\/07\/18\/the-nitrogen-war-in-netherlands-an-anticipation-of-times-to-come\">&nbsp;The \u201cnitrogen war\u201d in Netherlands, an anticipation of times to come<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>It all looks as the \u201cnitrogen war\u201d in the Netherlands is an anticipation of the&nbsp;<strong>conflict between environment awareness organizations and agriculture<\/strong>, industry over production systems and its consequences.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cI really understand their anger,\u201d Marcel Crok, a Dutch science writer and co-founder of the Climate Intelligence Foundation, said in an interview. \u201cThe&nbsp;<strong>farmers<\/strong>&nbsp;are also angry because they&nbsp;<strong>say, \u2018we are the only sector who get all the blame.<\/strong>\u2019 What about industry?
