What Happened When 1 Government Fell Under Influence of World’s Environmental Extremists
What Happened When 1 Government Did What Green Extremists Wanted
Green extremism is "out of control," environmental writer Michael Shellenberger says. Find out what he means.

Starvation. Poverty. People struggling to buy medicine and fuel.
Disaster happened after one government fell under the influence of the world’s environmental extremists.
Many “experts” say pure nature is best. United Nations officials now tell politicians that the climate “crisis” demands countries make all sorts of sacrifices, like cutting nitrogen waste.
Much of that waste comes from synthetic fertilizer, so activists applauded when Sri Lanka’s government decided to become the first country to really take their advice. Sri Lanka banned all synthetic fertilizers.
Oops.
Suddenly, the same farms produced much less food. Food prices rose 80%.
One result: riots. As my new video shows, thousands swarmed the president’s mansion. Some had a cookout on his lawn.
The president resigned and fled the country.
It turns out that we need chemical fertilizers.

This is a war on affordable energy.
“We’re in the worst energy crisis in 50 years,” says Shellenberger. “Yet governments are trying to make energy more scarce and expensive. It’s totally insane. There’s no other word for it.”
The pursuit of a chemical-free world is insane. Modern technologies such as synthetic fertilizer make people’s lives better. They especially make poor people’s lives better. Banning them brings disaster.
The hardcore environmental left got its way in Sri Lanka. Let’s hope they don’t destroy more countries.
Commentary:
Meanwhile China and India are going all out to produce Nitrates and building coal fired generation plants to fuels their economies and feed their population.
Coincidentally the Biden administration seek to pay farmers not to plant and if they do they're being restyricted in the amount of nitrates they may use to fertize their palntings.

Farmers Can’t Farm with One Hand Tied Behind Their Backs, NCGA Says After Ruling on Fertilizers
The U.S. Department of Commerce issued a final determination this week, saying that urea ammonium nitrate fertilizer exported to the U.S. was subsidized and sold at less than normal value in the U.S. market during its period of investigation. While an important step in the process, the ruling...
