"Green" Dreams Kill People

Post by Riddick » 04-17-2022 01:55 PM

How many people have died, or will die, as a result of the Left’s “green” fantasies? Currently, the war between Russia and Ukraine dominates the news. We all know global petroleum supplies have been disrupted by the war, but perhaps more significant is the war’s impact on agriculture.

Ukraine and Russia are two of the top grain-exporting countries in the world. With those supplies disrupted, a global food shortage impends, and many are predicting populations in some vulnerable areas that can’t produce enough food for themselves will starve.

So where are the environmentalists in all this? They are doing their best to reduce agricultural output. In Sri Lanka, the government mandated organic farming, with the result that yields declined catastrophically, prices skyrocketed, and, no doubt, many died.

In the U.K., carbon offset schemes are causing hedge funds to buy up farm land and turn it to less productive use. The exorbitant demand for carbon credits is government-created as a result of global warming hysteria, and reduced food production is collateral damage.

Here in the U.S., too, environmental fantasies are reducing food production. The amount of land needed for unreliable, intermittent wind and solar installations is immense. But as the destructive Green Machine rolls on, the land devoted to turbines and solar panels won’t be in cities or suburbs. It will be farm land.

Enacting proposed legislation to prevent government subsidies from transforming actual farms into wind and solar farms would at least ensure we, the taxpayers, are not paying to destroy farm land at a time when the world needs all of the food America can produce.
