An energy crisis manufactured by the globalist agenda to rapidly transition from oil and natural gas to green energy will lead to famine and freezing across Europe, warns a veteran international journalist.
Michael Yon, a U.S. Army Special Forces veteran, pointed out in an interview Monday that the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipeline has exacerbated shortages that already have spiked the costs of energy and of nitrogen-based fertilizers that together drive up the cost of food while threatening the ability of families to heat their homes and cook their meals.
"We're actually beyond the precipice at this point," Yon told SiriusXM's Breitbart News Daily. "We're falling. It's too late. There's going to be famine, and the question is, 'How big and how many people are going to get hit?'"
Yon said some people "talk about energy as if everything's interchangeable, as if solar panels and windmills and nuclear plants can replace natural gas, which [they] simply cannot."
He noted that of the 26 major plants in Europe that produce nitrogen-based fertilizers, all are either closed down or on the verge of closing.
"This will lead to famine. It's just mathematics at this point," he said.
In August, a survey found that with energy bills set to spike by 80% in October, nearly one quarter of adults in Britain said they would not turn on their heating this winter.
The British government energy regulator Ofgem announced that month that the average household's yearly heating bill would rise in October from 1,971 pounds to 3,549 pounds. In U.S. dollars, that's an increase of from about $2,300 to $4,140.
The Liberal Democrats' Cabinet Office spokeswoman, Christine Jardine, warned at the time that millions were facing "financial devastation," with Britain "on the brink of the worst cost of living crisis in a century."

Without fertilizer to help grow lots of food. It’s a pretty good prediction. With no gas coming from Russia ( which Trump warned about) it’s a hood prediction
Since Russia will not be delivering gas to the Germans or other Europeans plan on no heating. Unless they go in green and start chopping the forests now
Perfect reply!
We are thinking about buy one for where we spend our most of our waking hours in our family room.
Mine is the oil version....sustains the temp longer before it adjusts again.
I tried several various heaters but these BY FAR work the best. Next thing to wood stove heat....the heat radiats so well.
I have carpeting so I put a silver tray underneath them....picked up at a thrift store. It also radiates the heat.
Or this: LifePlus Electric Oil Filled Heater, Portable Radiant Space Heater 700W
Well then they need another alternative as a backup. I’ve lost electric here a couple times in winter over the years. My back up is two sterno cup table top grills - that just takes the edge off before the elctric is restored, also candles.
BTW a good back up would be a kerosene heater.....my son used one to heat his entire home during a winter to cut his heating bills. I just don’t like messing with that fuel.
“He stating that people will starve and freeze to death. Is it happening?”
No, it is not, since winter has not arrived in Europe yet, which he specifies as the triggering of events he predicted.
The starvation he predicted would be caused by the cessation of fertilizer production and will take the loss of a growing season to materialize.
Maybe you should read more carefully, and it will be hard to find any person who will come to any other conclusions. Macron a few weeks ago advised his nation that the era of abundance was over and even water was one of the commodities he mentioned.
He is a democrat . He always makes excuses for Biden and the RATs.
Yeah, they did because they still had to make payments on the land taxes and pay for their machinery
Many farmers failed to 'side dress' their crops during the growing season, and suffered a reduced crop, which means less income
Also drought has just about decimated the cotton crop, and many other converted their crops to soybeans so as to have some/any short season to harvest and meet their bills
Farmers are one of the worlds oldest profession - gambling the season's crop against Mother Nature,
it is hard enough to bring in a paying crop, it is much more difficult to do so without fertilizers or seed crops.
The bills just don't wait,.. they only increase !
It would be very easy to pick the keyword perps on this thread.
Wal-mart has them and so does Lowes and other places. I’ve had digital and manuel but prefer manuel as once the digital gets wacky there’s no fix to it.
I haven’t seen much difference between the more expensive ones and the cheaper ones....I think the number of blades makes a difference. I run two in my whole apartment and does the job very well. In fact it’s not until temps drop into the 20’s and below I even need the second one.
You won’t regret getting one. The couple who lived next to me was getting hit hard with high electric heating bills so I share what I used......HA! They went and got two for their place - costs went way down and they were cozy night and day.
solar beer can heater...

...if you have apower source for the fan
Or, as dad used to say; “If we had some ham, we could have ham and eggs, if we had some eggs”
I do recommend the manual ones over the digital. The digital one I got went funky after a year and half. Never had issues with the manual ones.
Actually the first one I got was at a rummage sale for $12. that thing ran over seven years! So they don't seem to wear out. If you go to Lowe's you can get an extended replacement warranty....I think it's for three years so defiantly get it if you go digital.
You can get fans that come with their own tiny solar panel. I see them a lot, usually lumped in with poultry supplies.
Ohhh so only if and when and if a crop fails....
Thats not what he is saying..:
It’s too late. There’s going to be famine, and the question is, ‘How big and how many people are going to get hit?’”
There should be freezing and starving THIS WINTER,......
Ok then,
Going to wait for the mass starvation in the us this winter...
I just heard on RFDTV.com that Canadian farmland has increased in value just this year by 8%.
That's a heII of a way for a farmer to keep up with inflation,.. by selling out !
In Europe, they have had over 2,000 outbreaks of avian influenza which has resulted in more than 50 Million poultry culled from their flocks.
