Greenpeace Races To Trudeau’s Rescue, Fertilizing Klaus Schwab’s WEF Great Reset



Greenpeace Races To Trudeau’s Rescue, Fertilizing Klaus Schwab’s WEF Great ResetIt didn’t take long for donation-rich Greenpeace Canada to step up to the plate to back Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s brutal attack on Canadian farmers. The Liberal Canadian government’s demand that nitrogen fertilizer emissions must be reduced by 30 percent by 2030 will have wide-ranging consequences on future crop yields when many parts of the world are already finding it more difficult to produce food.
“What do food activists do when science isn't on their side? They repackage it or make it up. Writing for the online magazine Health Facts and Fears, University of Houston professor and published food-safety author Dr. Thomas DeGregori exposes "Green science" -- something he says emerges when advocacy groups attempt to "redefine scientific knowledge.” (Green Science is Weird Science--Canada Free Press, April 5, 2004)
Swaggering into the battle field to back up Trudeau in his assault on every day farmers is environmental giant Greenpeace: “(TORONTO) – In light of the recent war in Ukraine, farmers are seeing fertilizer prices skyrocket while the costs of food soar. Greenpeace Canada is drawing on new research to provide recommendations that can help break our dependence on synthetic nitrogen fertilizers and build a socially just and low emissions future for farming in its official response to the public consultation announced by Agriculture and Agri-food Canada. (Greenpeace, Aug., 8, 2022) “New research”? Why not put it on the table for ALL to see?

What a contrived smear job on global farmers!

“Today, ten per cent of all emissions in Canada come from crop and livestock production. Of this, about one-third come from nitrous oxide (N2O), a powerful greenhouse gas over 250 times more potent than carbon dioxide (CO2) which is released from nitrogen fertilizer when applied to the soil. This makes reducing fertilizer emissions critical to mitigating the growing climate impacts of industrial agriculture. (Greenpeace)
“Nitrous oxide (N2O), a powerful greenhouse gas over 250 times more potent than carbon dioxide (CO2) which is released from nitrogen fertilizer when applied to the soil”? Why doesn’t Greenpeace tell that to the perpetrators of the Green New Deal and longtime scare mongers of the global warming/climate change hoaxsters? Could it possibly be because Greenpeace continues to rack up big bucks from gullible donors who donate their children's college savings, naively believing that Greenpeace is out there saving whales?!
“Globally, synthetic nitrogen fertilizers are a major driver of the climate crisis, contributing 2.4% of greenhouse gas emissions. The need for large amounts of fossil fuel in their production, natural gas in particular, has led to some commentators referring to them as “fossil fertilizers”. (Greenpeace)
What a contrived smear job on global farmers!

Since when did Greenpeace become über protectors of Natural Gas?

“(According to new research by Greenpeace Canada, roughly 5.5 million tonnes of these fertilizers are produced here every year [1]. Industrial processes to produce them in Canada consume around 8-10% of our natural gas annually [2].(Greenpeace)
Since when did Greenpeace become über protectors of Natural Gas?
“Furthermore, according to new research commissioned by Greenpeace Canada and World Animal Protection Canada (WAPC), livestock feed production emissions account for approximately 28% of all emissions from crop production in Canada [3]. This means over 8 million tonnes of CO2-equivalent are emitted from the production of livestock feed annually [4], of which approximately 85% derive from the production and application of nitrogen fertilizers [5]. (Greenpeace) “This data builds on 2021 research by Greenpeace International and others showing that emissions from synthetic nitrogen fertilizer in Canada are among the highest in the world per capita. Meanwhile, according to the federal government’s own figures, emissions in agriculture continue to stubbornly rise despite progress in other sectors. “Therefore Greenpeace Canada is calling on the federal government and Minister Bibeau to set more ambitious targets to reduce emissions from nitrogen fertilizers. “In addition, we recommend in our submission a cap on the production of artificial fertilizers, reductions in factory farming, discouraging the use of crops for high-emissions biofuels, more application of Indigenous knowledge throughout the food system and a huge investment in support for the many farmers pursuing organic practices that don’t rely on artificial fertilizers. “Shane Moffatt, Head of Nature and Food Campaign with Greenpeace Canada said: “Canada’s addiction to fossil fertilizers comes with a huge climate cost. It also leaves our food supply vulnerable to disruptions from natural disasters, disease and war, as the conflict in Ukraine has again shown. While profits are soaring for the multinationals controlling fertilizer production, the costs for farmers and the public also keep rising. “The solution to these interconnected problems is to finally break our dependence on fossil fertilizers. Our recommendations today show how this can be done in a way that supports local farmers, grows healthy communities and advances reconciliation with Indigenous people.”


Canadian farmers plant crops that feed the world, while Greenpeace plants Bee Ess

“Canadian farmers already use efficient techniques in fertilizer use. “It is estimated that a 30 percent absolute emission reduction for a farmer with 1,000 acres of canola and 1,000 acres of wheat, stands to have their profit reduced by approximately $38,000 to $40,500 annually,” Fertilizer Canada wrote.” (The Trumpet, Aug. 3, 2022)
“In 2020, Western Canadian farmers planted approximately 20.8 million acres of canola. Using these values, cumulatively farm revenues from canola could be reduced by $396 million to $441 million on an annual basis. Wheat farmers could experience a reduction of $400 million.” “In addition to loss of revenue, a lowering of crop yield could lead to significant food shortages in Canada and across the world in the coming years.”
Meanwhile, Canadian farmers plant crops that feed the world, while Greenpeace plants Bee Ess. The money keeps rolling in over at Greenpeace where the more things change, the more they remain the same. Feeding the world hungry should take precedence over phony environmental Greenpeace activists. The world’s anti-Greenpeace chant ‘Save the Environment—from Greenpeace!’ should be shouted from the rooftops.
