In a few months, food hord'ers will be rich, if not well-fed.

#4 Y'know what? I recommend cannibalism. Hunt and eat government workers. Two birds with one stone. Think about the good thousands of enraged cannibalistic Dutch farmers could do.

Hey! I think it's happened before.

#5 The Dutch will still have enough food. Unfortunately they have a huge export market. Brown people will starve. The Netherlands will just lose a huge amount of revenue just as energy prices skyrocket. Christianne van der Wahl will be kicked out of office and be forced to retire to a life of beaches and ski results.

#8 /\ Brown people will starve. The Globalists will import food from Somewhere Else™ while being smug in their righteousness ...while ignoring that food is fungible. The Biofuels Ethanol Scam™ raised corn prices indirectly in Central and South America which, again, let 'brown people' grow hungry.

#9 Having visited several times, never failed to be impressed by the fact that many, if not all farms had an excavator among the traditional equipment. As well as windmill to pump the water into canals for routing to the North Sea. (That lock installation is quite impressive when viewed up close)
So if the farms shut down, who is going to maintain the drainage canals and the pumping infrastructure to maintain the current sea level/arable land??

Would not be surprised to see traditional windmills replaced with ic engine-driven pumps.
Makes perfect green sense.

#10 Wasn't EC telling us last week that nitrogen fertilizer turn to nitrates/nitrites in the ground and poisons the ground water? So, it's not global warming, its the water causing cancer. Well, that's how I remember what European Conservative posted.

But some alternative must exist. Cow pies? Ugh, that's methane. OK, something. C'mon. What about the old honey buckets the Japanese used to use for their rice paddies? How about finding a way to remove nitrites from the water?

Or else what will kill us? Starvation, nitrites in the water or global warming? I think starvation would be the quickest way to kill masses of people. So did Joe Stalin.

#11 Killing masses of people seems to be the goal, Abu.
