The resignation is a win for Europeans suffering under draconian climate change regulations.
QUICK FACTS:
- In the midst of a turbulent summer of farmer demonstrations over pollution laws, the Dutch agricultural minister has resigned.
- Only nine months into the job, Henk Staghouwer made his resignation known on Twitter and later told reporters that he would be quitting the position because he wasn’t the proper fit.
- “Farmers and fishermen need certainty about where the sector is headed so that they can invest and do business,” Staghouwer told reporters.
- The outgoing minister prompted outrage due to increasing regulations on climate change that inhibited farmers from keeping with their traditional practices.
- The regulations were putting caps on how much manure farmers could return to their fields.
CLIMATE HOAX:
- As American Faith previously reported, Climate Intelligence (CLINTEL), an independent foundation that operates in the fields of climate change and climate policy, published a document containing the signatures of more than 1,100 scientists and experts who assert that “there is no climate emergency.”
- Those on CLINTEL’s list argue that so-called “climate science” ought to be less political and more science-based. “Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific,” they write. “Scientists should openly address uncertainties and exaggerations in their predictions of global warming, while politicians should dispassionately count the real costs as well as the imagined benefits of their policy measures.”
- The experts note that warmer weather is caused by both natural as well as man-made factors: “The geological archive reveals that Earth’s climate has varied as long as the planet has existed, with natural cold and warm phases. The Little Ice Age ended as recently as 1850. Therefore, it is no surprise that we now are experiencing a period of warming.”
- They reveal that said warming is in fact “far slower than predicted”: “The world has warmed significantly less than predicted by IPCC on the basis of modeled anthropogenic forcing. The gap between the real world and the modeled world tells us that we are far from understanding climate change.”
BACKGROUND:
- Late in July, Dutch farmers protested the globalist climate agenda by blocking highways with manure and burning hay.
- The farmers protested on roadways throughout the Netherlands as part of an uptick in protests over the government’s intentions to close down large tracts of farmland.
