Trudeau Orders 30% Nitrogen Reduction [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 31 July 2022 | John Semmens

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau used his self-granted emergency powers to decree that farmers must reduce nitrogen fertilizers by a minimum of 30% from current levels. Saskatchewan Minister of Agriculture David Marit expressed his concern with what he called "an arbitrary goal. Fertilizers have helped drive increases in Canadian crop yields, grain sales, and exports. Trudeau's decree will drive a lot of farmers out of business and worsen global hunger."

The Prime Minister admitted "there may be some hardships. However, the quest to avert a climate disaster requires making the tough choices. Given the growing prevalence of obesity in Canada, a significant reduction in the amount of food available is tolerable. By implementing a rationing program calibrated to each person's body mass index (BMI) the government will ensure that food is diverted from those high BMI individuals who don't need it. More will then be available for those like me who have no body fat to live off of."

The notion that government could competently administer an equitable food distribution without causing massive starvation is not plausible. Under this type of system tens of millions of inhabitants of the Soviet Union and Communist China starved to death.

Further, the idea that fighting climate change warrants taking such a risk seems dubious. The CO2 that the climate alarmists say must be reduced is less than one-tenth of a percent of our atmosphere. The current 400 parts per million of this atmosphere that is CO2 is four times smaller than the 1700 parts per million it was during the Cretaceous period. Less than one percent of the Earth's greenhouse gases are due to human activity. Current global temperatures are lower than the average temperatures the Earth has experienced since the end of the last Ice Age and lower than they were during the Roman Empire—periods before fossil fuels were widely available.

Trudeau dismissed the long-term climate history, saying "it's out-of-sync with what my advisors tell me." He also rebuffed the Soviet Union and Chinese Communist examples, saying "they were tragedies emanating from these countries' encirclement by capitalist enemies. Progressive countries now out-number capitalist countries and thanks to the inspired leadership of President Biden, the last bastion of capitalism is well on its way to joining our ranks."

This is a WEF thing, same thing they are cramming down on the Netherlands.

What kind of psychotic megalomaniac thinks he can control global weather based on what he allows the cows to eat?

Hint: its not about the weather. Its about your food. they know damn well what they are doing.

REDUCING NITROGEN WILL REDUCE PLANT FOOD GROWTH. THIS WILL REDUCE CARBON

They’ve built Cricket plants in Canada to supply protein replacement foods.

Gotta get people to eat bugs.

Just remember, he and his family and his entourage just took off for a two week vacation in Costa Rica after lecturing to farmers about the need to reduce fertilizer use in order to reduce carbon emissions.

What part of this is true and what part is satire?

If people post “semi-satire” there needs to be some indication of what part of the material is meant to be taken as satire. Otherwise anyone can say anything, true or false, and make it sound like news. You know, like CNN does.

unTruedoughboy could eliminate tons of greenhouse gasses by simply disappearing.

Win win for everyone.

Same thing Thanos thought when he snapped his fingers. Hey, some choices are tuff. Better some suffer so not all suffer.

Trudeau is one of Klaus Schwab’s Nazi Cult members and Trudeau was talking about getting people out of their cars so will he try to ban private ownership of cars

First carbon, now nitrogen!

Why not just go ahead and prohibit the entire Periodic Table of the Elements already?

"Four times smaller?!"

Like saying that Danny DeVito is twice as small as Arnold Schwarzenegger?

How about: "The current 400 parts per million of this atmosphere that is CO2 is one quarter of the 1700 parts per million it was during the Cretaceous period."

?

Thank you for saying that. I’ve never understood why people use those ridiculous phrases.
