  2. The Orwellian nightmare continues. If the EU elites can break the farmers, they will control the population entirely. Trudeau is trying the same thing in Canada.

  9. Farming is always environmentally destructive. Modern farm practices have greatly reduced some of the most disastrous farming practices that had been resulting in top soil run off and depleted soils. The idea that man caused greenhouse gases can cause global warming is likely a major issue with these farmers. All the known science is that greenhouse gases are only significantly active in earth's greenhouse effect that is always in saturation from the strong greenhouse gas water vapor and can't have its overall effect changed. Earth's greenhouse effect is high school science which makes it common knowledge. The United Nation's IPCC science report makes a data transparency statement at the back of its report that it took its greenhouse gas samples at 20,000 meters altitude and only that one altitude. There is no greenhouse radiant energy more than 20 meters from the radiating surface it is all absorbed by greenhouse gases. That means the IPCC is stating it is not in fact dealing with active greenhouse gases. That data transparency statement is typical in marketing to protect the involved parties from fraud prosecution. It is the same type of practice that takes place with a beverage labeled "All Natural Fruit Flavors" then in the ingredients it states the truth "contains no actual fruit juices". Global warming has not gone up 2/10°C since the late 1980s. In 1991 global warming was reported at 1.1°C and in 2022 global warming was reported at 1.06°C. The 1991 global warming temperature was later reevaluated downward. Global warming has been at about 1°C for over thirty years.

  11. ​I couldn't explain it better than this—> "The Only Environmental Emissions That Need To Be Regulated, Are Those Emissions From Politicians".

  12. ATTENTION EUROPEANS: Make a PEACE AGREEMENT with Russia and go back to buying the cheap Russian fuel… It is not worth destroying the European economy because of Ukraine and the whims of the Generals of NATO (OTAN). #SayNO2NATO

  13. Conflicts between farmers and authorities should be resolved through peaceful negotiations and dialogue rather than resorting to armed conflict.

  16. And Ursula the liar, said let them eat cake.. while she was busy scurring 50 Billion to the proven Corrupt regime to apace her Masters the USA

  19. If this were canada, Trudeau would run like a coward and invoke the emergencies act then arrest the organizers and freeze their banks.

  21. I stand with farmers !!! why have we taken part to the war in ukraina ?? all the money there. The farmers can be helped to restructure ina greener way but with support real support.. ok do you eat machines , digital sheet , 5g, vaccines and all the sheet in which the European Union has put their money.. No you eat from the farmers and now they will make you eat (the european union) insects and artificial meat. The proposal could be to reduce consumption of meat but not to create insects farms and artificial meat.. what a hell of system ?
