"The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) sounds a warning over a problem it caused in the first place, namely food disruption. How? By talking nations into restricting nitrogen fertilizer to grow bountiful crops"

Whilst we in the affluent West (well, most of us anyway) have never know what it is to go hungry, many in less affluent countries (and some in the more affluent) could well be about to find out.

This is what happens when global politicians declare "climate emergency", blame CO2, and then switch gears to abruptly take out supplies of ... nitrogen fertiliser? No, me neither.

It appears also to have escaped their notice that if they would only increase the amount of CO2 in our air, the green crops would thank them by growing enough food to feed the world (there's a reason that commercial greenhouses feed their plants extra CO2), but that's by the by.

Fortunately China and India know which side of the Global Warming divide they are on and are busy burning enough coal to put western combustion into the shade, but that won't be enough just yet to compensate for the fertiliser embargo (and may not help with their air pollution problems either).

As with all politicians, be careful what you wish for. The only safe change of politicians is from higher numbers to lower numbers.

Preferably to Net Zero by 2030.

By strange happenstance, that is exactly the change that nobody is enabled to vote for ...
