“Kerry Says US Farm Confiscations Not Off the Table”
and yet no where in the article could i find any statement of Kerry to the effect that “US Farm Confiscations Not Off the Table” ...
i call BS clickbait on this post ...
You're right. Your post made me search for the root story myself.
All I could find was that the Netherlands government is planning to buy out Dutch farmers in the name of climate change using nitrogen emissions as the excuse, and those who refuse to accept the government buyout will be forced off their land.
The people who sourced this Kerry "quote" must be associating Kerry with the WEF, and the WEF with the Netherlands, the Netherlands with confiscating farms, and Kerry talking about farm emissions.
I think they are imputing a Kerry support of what the Netherlands are doing, but I think you're right that the headline goes too far.
What Kerry actually said (that was reported) was:
A lot of people have no clue that agriculture contributes about 33% of all the emissions of the world... We can't get to net-zero, we don't get this job done unless agriculture is front and center as part of the solution. So all of us understand here the depths of this mission.-PJFood systems themselves contribute a significant amount of emissions just in the way in which we do the things we've been doing... With a growing population on the planet – we just crossed the threshold of 8 billion fellow citizens around the world – emissions from the food system alone are projected to cause another half a degree of warming by mid-century.
This sector needs innovation now more than ever... We're facing record malnutrition at a time when agriculture, more than any other sector, is suffering from the impacts of the climate crisis. And I refuse to call it climate change anymore. It's not change. It's a 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.
It's actually worse than that.
The Conservative Firing Line didn't do ANY independent reporting. They took this fake news headline from another trashy "conservative" website, The People's Voice. Word for word.
