The European Union has caved in to angry protests from farmers, cutting its target to scrap specific agricultural emissions which formed part of the bloc’s net zero drive.
A demand to reduce nitrogen, methane and other emissions linked to farming by almost a third has been removed from a wider Brussels plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 90 per cent by 2040.
This is what happens when you make policies without any clue how they are going to be put in place. Like shure you can just stop farming and we import our food… No thats definitely way better for climate…🤡
Producing more plant-based food is actually a lot more efficient, as animals poop out a significant amount of the calories you feed them. Hence, you’d actually need a lot fewer imports.
Producing animal products in the current amounts is a lose-lose-lose-lose-lose scenario: people work a lot harder to produce unhealthy products from tortured creatures which are bad for the environment, creating additional cost everywhere.
Bro this isn’t the point and it never was.
So what’s the point?
That the regulations are unrealistic as hell and risk our food security, that killing off our small farmers in favor of a few very big ones that definitely obay all the rules and dont pay for a blindeye is idiotic. That imported food wich we need when we implement such unrealistic regulations, is much more expensive and will lower the standards of living, furthermore it won’t help the climate at all because it would be produced worse than here right now as they don’t have any regulations and it needs shipping as well.
Im all for solving the climate problem, but its not a option to basically kill off a very very relevant industry for it. Yes society definitely needs to consume less meat, im vegetarian 11 months of the year (i eat some meat around Christmas and new year to be specific) but these regulations wouldn’t change consumption habits at all.

As if that stopped then from implementing harmful laws. Remember article 10, requiring digital upload filters.
That was 13 now 11 and yes. I quite literally want to see Voss get cancer (in a metaphorical way) because thats not the only such law this asshole pushed.
Edit:
13 now 17
11 is about links.
Article 13 actually changed it’s identity to article 17. Article 11 was a stupid link tax, if memory serves
Ah yeah sorry.
They shuffled the Playlist of shit so fuck em for that as well, especially because they did that to counter protests.
