Green Europe; Food Shortages to Follow

The Greens will green-ify Europe.  First steps are in Holland and Germany.

The Dutch government is planning to buy and close down up to 3,000 farms near environmentally sensitive areas to be in compliance with EU environmental rules. 

FIY, Holland is the second-largest agricultural goods exporter in the world; second only to the US.  This will significantly reduce vegetable availability in Europe.

Over in Deutschland.....

 ...Germany is still caught up in the demands of the climate change lobby to reduce its carbon footprint drastically in the coming years. One part of this initiative, similar to calls we've seen from activists in the United States, was a mandate to reduce all livestock on German farms by 50%....

 ...Die Welt, citing the German Meat Industry Association (VDF), reported this week that within the next four to six months Germany will face a meat shortage, and prices will skyrocket....

It's not just meat, either.

... Farmers in Germany have been banned from properly fertilizing large areas of their land under strict EU rules pushing the green agenda.

The use of nitrate fertilizers has been further restricted for large swathes of farmland in North Rhine-Westphalia, which is now likely to drastically reduce yields.

Although German authorities have implemented the ban, it is ultimately at the behest of the European Union, which is seeking to reduce the amount of nitrogen to tackle ‘climate change.’...

There's a benefit to all this, of course.  The population at large will be losing a lot of weight.

All the Correct People in the US have been pounding the "Eat Bugs" theme for a few years.  That's not co-incidence.

Perhaps this is The Whimper; the Bang is on holiday.

It certainly is The Wimp-ification.
