Joe Biden’s “climate czar” John Kerry is calling for farmers to stop growing food in order to meet the administration’s radical “net zero” goals for lowering “emissions.”
Kerry, Biden’s Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, issued the warning during a green agenda conference in Washington D.C.
During the Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) AIM for Climate Summit, Kerry told the audience that “we can’t get to net zero, we won’t get this job done, unless agriculture is front and center as part of the solution.”
Kerry warned attendees that his and other world leaders’ “lives depend” on farmers ceasing their operations.
Stopping farmers from growing food will lower agriculture “emissions,” Kerry insists.
He continued by noting that he does not even call it climate change anymore.
“It’s not change; it’s a crisis,” he declared.
...
eating meat should be a luxury that is limited to wealthy elitists like himself.
Essentially, the masses must stop eating meat to meet the goals of the elite.
“Food systems themselves contribute a significant amount of emissions just in the way in which we do the things we’ve been doing,” Kerry asserted.
...
Kerry called on world leaders from all around the world to massively scale back their citizens’ farming operations.
He argued that doing so is vital in order to keep the planet cooler as we move into the future.
“This sector needs innovation now more than ever,” Kerry said.
“We’re facing record malnutrition at a time when agriculture, more than any other sector, is suffering from the impacts of the climate crisis.”
“We need economic, social, and policy innovation in order to scale adaptation of these technical solutions and get them into the hands of folks in the fields of small farmers on a worldwide basis.
“This is the promise of AIM for Climate Summit.”
...
Biden, meanwhile, recently vowed that the U.S. will reach “net zero emissions” by the year 2050.
How this happens depends entirely upon how many farms the globalist overlords can force out of business, resulting in much less food and far fewer mouths to feed.
Co-led by both the U.S. and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), AIM for Climate is devoted to slashing farming emissions through investments in “innovation.”
As Slay News has been reporting, examples of this “innovation” include corporate insect-processing factories to replace the public’s meat supply with “food” made from bugs.
“Food and agriculture can contribute to a low-methane future by improving farmer productivity and resilience,” Kerry said.
“We welcome agriculture ministers participating in the implementation of the Global Methane Pledge.”
Kerry NEVER SAID THAT.
Show me his direct quote. It’s no where, especially in that garbage story.
The Netherlands story is real.
But lying about what Lurch said is comparable to the lying we get from left-wing propagandists.
I’ll stop eating when he does.
bit by bit, they intend shutting down everything. super woke Melbourne Australia has a new plan, and most of the comments I read are ok with it:
26 May: The Age, Melbourne Australia: Cars to be curbed on CBD streets under new council plan
by Lachlan Abbott
Parts of Flinders, Spencer and Collins streets could be closed to cars at peak times under a Melbourne city council proposal to reduce the number of people driving through the CBD and prioritise pedestrians.
Blocking some city streets to private vehicles between set times each day and restricting car access to a single direction along others are key proposals in the scheme to make the city more walkable.
The Future Streets Framework will be considered by councillors at the Future Melbourne Committee next month, a precursor to community consultation and a formal council vote...
The framework released on Friday afternoon acknowledges vehicles that have a city destination can provide an economic contribution to the CBD, but notes that “vehicles that simply travel through the city do not provide a benefit”.
“Pedestrians of all abilities offer the highest economic and environmental return of any transport mode,” the draft framework says.
Victoria Walks executive officer Ben Rossiter said this was the kind of thing the world’s best cities do...

This is right up there with banning gas stoves and bug burgers. Its so silly its almost like it was made up. 🤔
The primary sources of greenhouse gas emissions by economic sector in the United States are:
Transportation (28% of 2021 greenhouse gas emissions) – The transportation sector generates the largest share of greenhouse gas emissions. Greenhouse gas emissions from transportation primarily come from burning fossil fuel for our cars, trucks, ships, trains, and planes. Over 94% of the fuel used for transportation is petroleum based, which includes primarily gasoline and diesel.
Electricity production (25% of 2021 greenhouse gas emissions) – Electric power generates the second largest share of greenhouse gas emissions and includes emissions from electricity production used by other end use sectors (e.g. industry). 79% of our electricity comes from burning fossil fuels, mostly coal and natural gas.
Industry (23% of 2021 greenhouse gas emissions) – Greenhouse gas emissions from industry primarily come from burning fossil fuels for energy, as well as greenhouse gas emissions from certain chemical reactions necessary to produce goods from raw materials. If emissions from electricity use are allocated to the industrial end-use sector, industrial activities account for a much larger share of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions.
Commercial and Residential (13% of 2021 greenhouse gas emissions) – Greenhouse gas emissions from the commercial and residential sector include fossil fuels burned for heat, lighting and the use of gases for refrigeration and cooling in businesses and homes, and non-building specific emissions such as the handling of waste. If emissions from electricity use are allocated to the commercial and residential end-use sector, commercial and residential activities account for a much larger share of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions.
Agriculture (10% of 2021 greenhouse gas emissions) – Greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture come from livestock such as cows, agricultural soils, and rice production.
Land Use and Forestry (offsets 12% of 2021 greenhouse gas emissions) – While not shown in the figure, land areas can act as a sink (absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere) or a source of greenhouse gas emissions. In the United States, since 1990, managed forests and other lands are a net sink, i.e., they have absorbed more CO2 from the atmosphere than they emit.

Death to tyrants.
This insanity must stop.
Eliminating food won’t get us to net zero. They KNOW that.
The only way to net zero is a mass culling and depleting food supplies is the #1 way of achieving that along with a mass death program... which apparently has already started.
It IS made up.
There is ZERO “net zero” behavior because they will always find a reason for the existence of man to displace nature because... tat’s the very definition of LIFE.
Kerry knows he is clueless.
The Dutch minister doesn’t. The Dutch minister (or should I say monster) would shift methane emissions from the Netherlands, where they do no real harm, to the Third World, where they would.
Let’s ship that idiotic douchebag to France...
I like that out-of-the-bottle thinking....
Or Soylent Green.
I can’t believe no one in that audience didn’t do anything. Grab his scrawny ass off that stage or scream obscenities at him. Anything. Dang. Were they all deaf dumb and blind?
Wow. That site took what Kerry said out of context. What he really said was “lives depend” on world leaders and scientists developing the tools necessary to lower agriculture emissions.
The rest was made up
They didn’t do anything because that isn’t what he said
Kerry should be committed to an insane asylum.
bkmk what John Kerry actually said
These goons are an existential threat to humanity itself.
I have a modest proposal. The USA should follow the exact climate accords as China and India, the two greatest producers of CO2 in the world.
CO2 is plant food.
John Kerry, if you stop breathing the reduction in hot air emissions would solve global warming.
