Farmers Fight the Green New Scam
UPDATESJanuary 19, 2024Jim Rickards
The Green New Scammers are hard at work at home and abroad.
If you are unfamiliar, the Green New Scam is a set of government proposals designed to fight the “climate change crisis.” If enacted, these laws would impose radical changes on nearly every facet of society, costing companies billions of dollars while diminishing our standard of living. You can read more in my intelligence file, here.
German farmers recently took to the streets of Berlin, clogging the main thoroughfares with their tractors to protest fuel subsidy cuts. They were soon joined by German truck drivers.
The purpose of the demonstration is to denounce increased tolls for CO2 emissions, proposed cuts to agricultural diesel relief, and vehicle tax exemptions.
Similar protests have taken place across Europe. Earlier this week, French farmers converged on the city of Toulouse and dumped piles of manure in front of government buildings. Last month, Irish dairy farmers, angry at nitrogen restrictions, marched with their cows to the offices of three government ministries.
European climate alarmists are pushing for full-blown mandates that will hamstring businesses and reduce the standard of living. Thankfully, the farmers are fighting back.
