What do they mean by "nitrogen emissions"? Nitrogen gas is most of the atmosphere anyway.

Now THAT would be insane.

Dutch farmers touch off a worldwide revolt
The European Union and ‘green’ governments are playing with fire ...
Yet as the farmers got louder, more and more citizens joined up. Fishermen blocked many of the nation’s ports. The country’s largest festival, with around 220,000 attendees, cheered in support of the farmers. Average Dutchmen used their vehicles to block the streets alongside tractors. Nationwide solidarity formed around the farmers.
After Dutch police shot at a 16-year-old protester in his tractor (the teen was thankfully unharmed), the farmers only got louder — and the world listened. Even without mainstream media help, they’ve garnered worldwide support. ...
Farmers around the world heard this call and answered. Cars blocked roads as far away as Argentina and Canada. Italians mobilized into Naples, accusing their government of spilling the blood of farmers. Peruvian farmers marched in Piura against their own government’s policies. Spanish farmers deployed throughout Andalusia, saying they’ll emulate the Dutch if fuel prices and interest rates continue to rise.

That long? Problem is, in the current climate of virtue signaling followed by obligatory Satanist inversion treachery and lies, a massive amount of revision of past 'truth, science, history and knowledge' are necessary. Literally have to re-process with new filters. What a pain in the ass.

Anyone get voted out or recalled?
Sounds like nitrogen fertilizers react with the soil and release nitrogen oxides, ammonia, and nitrous oxide.

“We always talk about how carbon dioxide and methane contribute to greenhouse gases, but nitrous oxide is about 300 times more potent than carbon dioxide for its global warming potential,”

The largest emitters of nitrous oxide are jet powered aircraft, like the ones that carry the globalists to Davos every year.
Something is happening across the world right now, something that deserves more attention than it’s getting.
First, to the Netherlands, where farmers have been protesting, blockading roads with their tractors and staging enormous rallies. The demonstrations have been going on and off since 2019, when the Dutch legislature proposed a crackdown on nitrogen emissions. Nitrogen is heavily emitted by livestock and fertilizer, which means the regulations are hitting Dutch agriculture especially hard.
But it wasn’t until July that the protests garnered international attention. The Dutch government announced plans in compliance with a court order to cut nitrogen emissions by 50 percent. This change was so radical that it’s estimated it will put one third of all Dutch farms out of business by 2030. Hence why the farmers are so incensed: they’re literally fighting for their livelihoods. And while their government is obviously to blame, many of them perceive a more sinister hand at work: the World Economic Forum, whose crackpot Great Reset scheme hopes to radically remake the global economy in the aftermath of Covid.
The shame of it all is that the Netherlands is an ag success story. The bite-sized Western European nation is the second-largest food exporter on earth, after only the United States, which is 237 times larger. In a sane world, this would be celebrated, studied, copycatted, as experts warn we need more food production, not less. And all the more so since, as Michael Shellenberger points out, Dutch farms aren’t using any more nitrogen-emitting fertilizer than they were back in the 1960s.
Yet cut to two wokesters griping about farm pollution while they munch on beef sliders. As usual, this is more about bourgeoisie obliviousness than good policy.
Speaking of not knowing how stuff works, we turn now to that brainless flibbertigibbet up in Canada, Justin Trudeau. Never content to let a bad idea go to waste, Trudeau has ordered that nitrogen emissions in his own country be slashed. This prompted Canadian farmers to take to the streets of Ottawa last weekend in solidarity with their Dutch brethren. More protests are expected to follow as Canada’s agriculture stares at its own existential crisis. ...
Once, the left-wing heart throbbed to the drumbeat of global revolution, rushing to stand in solidarity with a grape-picker, a footstool, anything. Today, that same left has become the classist oppressors they once loathed. Meanwhile, conservatives find themselves in the strange but increasingly comfortable position of throwing in with the workers of the world. What lies ahead? Let’s just say you never mess with the guys who grow your food.
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, under the influence of the World Economic Forum, announced his goal to reach net-zero nitrogen emissions in 2019.
This announcement will force farmers to reduce livestock and food production to cut-down nitrogen emissions.
The farmers, also known as The Boer, have spent years pushing back in peaceful protest, and in June 2022, the protests grew bigger than ever before.
So, Rebel News sent U.K. Reporter Lewis Brackpool and Lincoln Jay to the Netherlands to cover these massive protests. Now, with the help of Kian Simone, they have combined their in-depth footage from the Dutch farmer protests to create a documentary.

As someone who lives in the netherlands, i would like to correct few things. We did not have vaccine mandates, not even in healthcare. It was very close, but somehow we managed. Protests were in place already in autumn 2020 and slowly became more and more popular and less and less bloody. The lasi picture is from the fire of picnic distribution center. Its not fake meat factory, just websupermarket. And looks like our farmers won. Looks like the idea of mandatory selling of your farm because of nitrogen norms (based on strange models) is abandoned.

German farmers also rise up. Ministry of Agriculture in Stuttgart besieged. Protests are underway in dozens of German cities.
The Netherlands’ agricultural minister Henk Staghouwer has been forced to resign following widespread protests from Dutch farmers over his radical climate agenda that seeks to destroy their livelihoods.
Staghouwer was leading the Dutch agriculture ministry’s climate policy that involved confiscating farms in a forced government buy-out scheme.
In the wake of the huge protests from farmers, Staghouwer has now been forced to step down.
He told the Dutch cabinet that pushback from farmers had meant he would not be able to meet a September deadline for rolling out the government’s radical green policy, the AP reported.
The climate agenda involves cutting nitrogen emissions from the nation’s farming sector to the point where it made it impossible for farms to continue operating.
The initiative includes a $24.2 billion scheme to buy out local farmers and facilitate the transition away from intensive farming practices.
The push provoked mass demonstrations by farmers across the continent.

Dutch Farmers are in revolt:
Interesting timing to restrict agra output right during an inflationary crisis, eh? Particularly on foodstuffs?
