Daily Fetched ^ | June 26, 2024 | Jason Walsh
The government has warned livestock farmers in Denmark they will be taxed on the amount of farts and burps from their cows, sheep, and pigs. From 2030, farmers will be taxed for their fatulent (sic) livestock, becoming the first country in the world to do so as it targets methane emissions to fight climate change. Taxation Minister Jeppe Bruus said the aim is part of the globalist push to supposedly reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 70 percent from 1990 levels by 2030. Danish livestock farmers will face a punitive financial imposition of 300 kroner ($43) per ton of carbon dioxide...

Police have arrested a male suspect, and Frederiksen is not believed to be seriously injured. The attack took place at Kultorvet square in the center of the Danish capital. Prior to the attack Frederiksen had been campaigning with her party's lead European election candidate, Christel Schaldemose, according to local media reports. "Mette Frederiksen was today assaulted and beaten by a man on Kultorvet in Copenhagen. Mette is naturally shocked by the attack. I must...

Danish study finds drug reduces 'forever chemicals' in blood (Bile sequesters reduce by 63%)

Medical Xpress / AFP ^ | Feb. 29, 2024 | Morten Lindhardt et al
A medication for high cholesterol can drastically cut "forever chemicals" (PFAS)—associated with an increased risk of cancer and banned in Europe—in the blood, researchers said. But the drug was not suitable for widespread and prolonged use because of its side effects. A clinical trial with cholestyramine led to a reduction 20 times greater than the normal result without intervention. "The effect of treatment was actually a decrease in the plasma of 63 percent," said Lindhardt. Researchers say the results are promising for treating people who have been exposed to high doses of the "forever chemicals", so called because they tend...

Woof, the news just keeps getting grimmer and grimmer for Danish offshore energy behemoth Ørsted...and it's great.Thanks to a heads-up this morning from HotAir regular John Clark, I have had an encouraging time digging into what's looking damn near like a collapse of one of the biggest names in the wind farm business. It bodes some serious ill for the entire sector.You all know from reading my posts that Ørsted has had a miserable twelve months, thanks to a number of circumstances. Most of them stem from contracts agreed to based on overconfidence in continued government largesse, cheap financing, low...
 

Danish developer Orsted nixes another Atlantic offshore wind project, says too costly to make profit

In November, Orsted nixed two major wind farm projects planned off the coast of New Jersey, citing the same problems that the company cited for the Skipjack Wind project.. Danish wind developer Orsted has canceled another contract on a planned offshore wind farm in the Atlantic Ocean. The company said the 966-megawatt Skipjack Wind project, planned to be constructed off the coasts of Delaware and Maryland, would no longer be commercially viable at the contract prices due to inflation, high interest rates and supply chain issues. “Today’s announcement affirms our commitment to developing value creating projects and represents an opportunity...
 

Danish study finds that cross-sex hormones cause heart disease rates to ‘soar’ — but especially in males

Since mutilating and disfiguring the genitals of minors, chopping off children’s healthy body parts in Mengele-type experimental surgeries, and injecting human beings with synthetic cross-sex hormones to affirm a debilitating mental delusion apparently weren’t enough to compel the left to drop the “gender”-bending madness, I doubt the findings of a new study from Denmark will be either—although they should. According to a new article out at Slay News by David Lindfield:The risk of heart disease is soaring among the growing number of transgenders being prescribed life-altering hormone drugs.…A new study published in the peer-reviewed European Journal of Endocrinology revealed that...

CNN — People who identify as transgender have significantly higher rates of suicide and suicide attempts compared with the rest of the population, according to a population-level study out of Denmark. The study of more than 6.6 million people found that those who identified as trans had 7.7 times the rate of suicide attempts and 3.5 times the rate of suicide deaths than the broader Danish population. Among the 3,759 survey participants who identified as transgender, there were 92 suicide attempts and 12 suicides between 1980 and 2021. However, the numbers are probably a significant undercount, as the researchers say...

When researchers set out to study the canvas preparation practices of the Danish masters, they were searching for traces of proteins that indicated the use of animal-based glue—and in eight of the ten paintings they studied, that's what they found...Seven of the paintings also contained the byproducts of brewing beer, according to a recent study published in the journal Science Advances. Researchers examined works made by Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg (sometimes called the "father of Danish painting") and Christen Schiellerup Kobke during the Danish Golden Age, a time of cultural revitalization in the early 19th century when painters were known for...
 

EXCLUSIVE: The NEW Viking invasion: Why British women are increasingly turning to Danish sperm banks that meticulously vet 'clever, tall, handsome' male donors and offer 'dating app'-style brochures to pick from (and they sure make beautiful children!)

British women are turning to Denmark hoping for 'Viking babies' as the UK suffers a nationwide shortage of sperm donors. In Denmark sperm banks are booming and many students can earn more than £400 a month from donating regularly. In the more open-minded Danish society there is less taboo attached to sperm donation than in the UK and many donors are similarly relaxed about the prospect of their offspring making contact once they become adults.

Mysterious reports of tremors on a small Danish island in the Baltic Sea prompted a seismological investigation that points toward atmospheric pressure waves as the possible culprit. But as with other, similar events—which are surprisingly common around the world—confirming a cause remains elusive. The tremors occurred on May 13 at around 3 P.M. local time, according to a statement from the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland, which operates two seismographs on the island of Bornholm. The seismic data showed that the tremors were not caused by an earthquake, the agency says. And although the tremors occurred about 20 minutes...

Despite being hailed as Europe’s poster child of green energy, Denmark saw a fivefold year-on-year jump in energy prices earlier this year and was forced to act accordingly, including lowering the heating in public buildings throughout the country and asking Danes to turn down the heat in their homes. Churches around Denmark have been forced to cancel services because of the ongoing energy crisis. In the Diocese of Lolland-Falster, all 108 churches have been given permission to move or cancel services to conserve energy, and many have already made use of this arrangement, especially in the sparsely populated countryside. “It...

Traveller ^ | 11/11/2022 | Anthony Dennis
The most common question posed by a visitor on arrival in Reykjavik, capital of the so-called Land of Fire and Ice, tends to be where are the nearest hot springs rather than where is the closest hot dog stand. But it's an answer to the latter that I'm most keen to hear on arriving at my hotel in Iceland after a day and a half's worth of flying. In a nation with a cuisine that includes rather less accessible delicacies such as fermented shark, blood sausage and - oh boy - foal meat, hot dogs, you see, are a curious...

Denmark’s new Synthetic Party has produced a conversational AI to serve as nominal leader of the party and run for Parliament in the election scheduled for next June. The Synthetic Party was founded by the artistic tach collective Computer Lars, and the campaign is more of a stunt than a serious candidate. The AI’s personality and policy platform are built on the proposals by Denmark’s hundreds of small parties going back 50 years.

The ‘Danish Mafia,’ Old Money and the Struggle to Turn Solvang Into the Next Carmel

For the Central Coast town of Solvang, its signature will always be its faux-traditional Danish village, built in the 1940s. It now stands today as a mile-long cartoon backdrop of gift shops and Danish Renaissance-style buildings. But beneath the surface of the town’s kitschy appeal, a new generation of world-class chefs, barkeeps and merchants is making steady gains to revitalize Solvang. Yet they’re discovering that changing a beloved place’s carefully orchestrated image — transforming Solvang from a spot to roll in on a tour bus and grab a mini Danish flag into a true destination — is a heady task....
 

High-status Danish Vikings wore exotic beaver furs

Beaver fur was a symbol of wealth and an important trade item in 10th Century Denmark, according to a study published July 27, 2022 in the open-access journal PLOS ONE...Written sources indicate that fur was a key commodity during the Viking Age, between 800-1050 CE, but fur doesn't often survive well in the archaeological record, so little direct evidence is available. Previous reports have used the microscopic anatomy of ancient fur to identify species of origin, but this method is often inexact. All in all, not much is known about the kinds of furs the Vikings preferred.In this study, Brandt...
