We haven't historically heard much about the global warming effect of nitrogen but the Dutch are hearing about it in a big way.

Now nitrogen can indeed be involved in warming (nitroglycerine being a cause of extremely rapid warming being a case in point) but nitrogen in gaseous form in fact constitutes the major part of the atmosphere and doesn't normally burn in oxygen at all (just as well!). That hasn't changed any time recently to my knowledge.

Nitrogen is also the central constituent of ammonia, which is asserted to be a greenhouse gas, but the principal greenhouse gas is (drum-roll please!) water - and I await with interest the WEF-UN's plans to remove this primary threat to the planet from the planet.

Perhaps in time we will be informed that the useless windmills which have been erected all around our shores in the vain hope of providing abundant reliable green power to our nations will soon be repurposed to drain the oceans ...   (and, incidentally, who better than the Dutch to oversee such a project? Perhaps all these farmers could be repurposed? Is someone missing a trick here?).

Nonetheless the Dutch farmers seem to be a very backward and uber-conservative lot and they remain recalcitrant and unimpressed by their government's leadership in the matter of nitrogen, so the latest move to enforce their submission is now unveiled.

Oh, and there's a move afoot to align the UK more closely with EU rules ...

You know what they say - never believe the rumour until you see the official denial.
