@W1ldSm1le Not the whole country. They have to build Jeff Bezos his yacht too, and have ASML, Philips, Shell, Akzo/Nobel, DSM, the biggest port in Europe etc too, so farming isn't really that big a part of the economy, 1.5% if I remember correctly. But a lot of land was created for farming and the last time it was to become food independent and not have a repeat of the 1945 famine. After the German occupation people were even encouraged financially to emigrate to shrink the population to a feedable size. Now farmland has to be expropriated to make room for even more mass immigration. But 'restoring nature' would indeed mean giving half of the coutnry back to the North Sea. There is practically no wild nature left, that has gone centuries ago. The country is hydro-engineering project that has nature like a garden has nature. Ironically lots of those nature area's were created by farmers quite recently. Otoh, change is needed. We have little space for lots of people and producing porc for China is not the most sensible use of scarce land. But that not an excuse to use nitrogen for expropriation, for government to get the land cheap. Because as soon as government owns the land and permits itself to use it for housing, the price per square meter goes op 30 times or something that order of magnitude.

Kudo's for having researched Van der Plas' Irish ancestry and pronouncing her first name Caroline in English and not in Dutch.

The cop that shot was definetely out of order, got suspended and will be prosecuted. It was not policy to shoot and aim for the headshot. But we wonder what would have happened without it being filmed.

Many people seem to believe that MMGW and a climate scam are mutually exclusive. I don't, I think both are happening at the same time and this sudden climate urgency, after the same people and institutions let emissions grow and grow for decades, is defenitely a scam.
