    because a lot of options are scams to trick people into buy snake oil. solar is garbage because you get very little energy from a panel that doesnt really last that long, and you need to mine for heavy metals which is also incredibility dirty. wind is also trash because they require a lot of plastic to make, which means you still rely on oil productions, when you could just oil as a fuel source instead, they also dont generate enough energy. then both windmills and solar panels cant be recycled so they go into another landfill.

        the rotten egg smell is probably from manure, and almost nothing short of removing cattle completely will fix it. so no more milk, no more beef, no more natural fertilizer all so you can move somewhere without doing due diligence and finding out there is a dairy nearby. and sometimes, the use of herbicides is unavoidable. wild blackberries and poison hemlock will force your hand into using broadleaf killers. large operations, like corn farmers, use roundup ready shit because they are operating on razor-thin margins and want that consistent yearly income. weeding naturally would cost more money in fuel and labor, and it would mean losing money out of principle.

        as to your deluded take that such a drastic change to industry wouldn't cull at least some of it: grow the frick up and read a book.

    Because there are people spreading disinformation that people like to believe.

    The nitrogen crisis is complicated. Nitrogen emissions aren't always necessarily polluting. If what you're trying to maintain is a beech forest for example nitrogen only helps. However the problem in the Netherlands is that the most important natural areas are open herb-grass landscapes that usually occur in early stages of succession, but due to the stabilising effects of humans who don't want floods, fires or any other major changes in the landacape these areas become rarer.

    If you add nitrogen there, it will allow species that do well under nitrogen rich conditions to outcompete the species that do well under nitrogen poor conditions, which will eventually turn it into something like a beech forest.

    You probably knew all this, but farmers don't. To farmers, nitrogen is what makes their crops grow better. They add nitrogen to the soil to make the plants do better. How the frick is that supposed to be a problem? Why do they have to give up their profession and way of life to reduce the emissions of something that is good for plants?

    The solution would be to explain it to them, but there are politicians who see ways to gain popularity, so they say nitrogen is indeed good for the plants and that there is no crisis. Plus the Germans take less measures against nitrogen emissions and they have no crisis (never mind their lower population density).

    Add to that a feeling that everyone sees farmers as stupid and farmers will easily fall for politicians that claim farmers know what is best for nature and that nothing has to change.

      Looks like you're making an honest effort to explain, so I'll make an honest effort to listen. I don't think I'm following exactly what the issue is. What is the expected bad outcome if nitrogen emissions remain where they are and why is that outcome expected?

      Is it just that there will be more beech forests or is there more to it?

      • 2 years ago
        Anonymous

        The issue is that we simply won't be able to maintain the rare landscapes like heath or the variety of flowery grasslands. We can't take the nitrogen out fast enough to counteract the input. The problem is that they're already rare systems, and if they disappear it's very likely a whole lot of plant and animal species would go with them.

        That alone would be enough for me, but even if rare ecosystems aren't of any interest to you, it could have pretty disastrous results for agriculture as well.

        It's estimated that evosystem services are worth over half the global GDP, and a large part of that is in the form of pest supression, which is highly dependent on biodiversity.

        Basically the principle is that the more species you have, the more likely that if any pest species increases in number there's a species that can effectively feed on it. The more effective of a predator available, the lower the density that species can reach, reducing the severity of outbreaks or preventing them altogether.

        With that, the disappearance of those ecosystems from the Netherlands could severely worsen pests.

          Alright, couple questions.
          Can you elaborate on the mechanism that's threatening these rare ecosystems? Yeah the issue is elevated nitrogen levels, but presumably farmers are not dumping tons of fertilizer on land they're not farming. So how's it getting there? Is it from runoff after a rainfall? Seeping into groundwater and moving through an aquifer or something? What's happening there?

          Second, can you provide some evidence supporting your concerns about reduced pest suppression? Bear with me, but the eco-crowd doesn't have a stellar track record when it comes to forecasting catastrophes, so I'd like a little more information.

          • 2 years ago

            Well the issue is mainly nitrogen oxides and ammonium emissions, and then mainly ammonium. Dung from livestock can emit it, and it can either come down on its own or come down with rainfall.

              Much as I like to learn, I’m not going to shell out right now. I did read the free paper and it was a good read, thanks for sharing. I didn’t see it touch on nitrogen soil levels specifically, but I think I understand your reasoning well enough to see how those conditions could lead to similar impacts described in the paper.
              At its heart, I’m unconvinced the particular fears you expressed will come to pass. I think I can follow your logic, but when the price to pay will cost many people their livelihood I can’t get behind that without a higher level of certainty.
              Even if the danger is real and imminent, I’m not convinced the proposed measures are the best way to go about it. The paper itself says, “The effects are strongly modulated by socio-economic factors, particularly the development of semi-natural elements in agricultural landscapes.” The Netherlands government has been very vague about what exactly these new restrictions will look like, an ongoing point of criticism, so I’m working a little in the dark here. Could there be another way less damaging to existing industry, like developing more of these “semi-natural elements”?
              There’s one last point tugging at the back of my head. A farmer has more incentive than anyone to maintain the productivity of his land. If the problem is so clear, why does he need to be forced to take corrective measures? Some people in this thread would say the farmer is a greedy idiot, but that’s foolish. If he’s successfully running a large corporate enterprise he’s very likely far from an idiot. Someone else mentioned Dutch agriculture is all done on land leased from the government, which didn’t seem accurate when I checked, but I could be mistaken. I suppose that would seriously lessen a businessman’s commitment to preserve that asset when he’ll only hold it for a limited time. Maybe that’s a systemic issue to be resolved by privatization.

                Many reasons. First, they don't have a clue on how to run a farm, and farmers are thaught by their parents all their life. Second, banks are notoriously diffident towards agricolturers and it's difficult to have a loan from them, and the meager earning of a kickstarted farm can hardly pay its dues. Third, there's a lot of competition to get your hard earned land and other farmers will actively try to steal It from you, or worse, building companies that will convince your municipality how much more lucrative is to simply build apartments there than growing crops. Then there's the unions, and the lack of any connection will have your activity killed in no time. Then there's the state who doesn't want to give any more gibs and when they do they come too late or too few. Not to mention the usual maladies, pests, market fluctuations ecc. Seasoned farmers work on an enterprise that has been stabilized in much simpler times and even they are always trying to squeeze as much money as possible from it. Because even they are not impervious to the myriad of reasons that may cause their livelihood to go in smoke.

      tldr. nitrogen emissions are not based on nitrogen but nitrogen derivatives, ie ammonia. which is toxic.

      • 2 years ago
        Anonymous

        Well the problem isn't necessarily toxicity, it's that the ammonium and nitrogen oxides end up as plant-available nutrients in the soil, which is more favourable to the plants we don't want than to the plants we want, causing the loss of the plants we want.

        It also has a mild acidifying effect which has a similar result. In high concentrations it is toxic but the toxicity is usually buffered by the soil and won't be a problem until it reaches very high concentrations.

                Turning vegan is beyond moronic. One can be vegetarian and still be healthy. A vegan is an emaciated zealot, maybe not deluded like the jingoistic meatheads but even more dangerous, as It will try constantly to convert or force people into veganism.

    i honestly dont care about the environment any more
    i used to but its too depressing and theres literally nothing i can do about it
    i live a modest life as it is, i dont buy much and what i do buy is usually used or things to repair used things
    i have a 20 year old toyota subcompact that i only use to get myself to and from my job and uses about 30 litres of gas per work week
    MY JOB involves using thousands of litres of diesel PER DAY on site and a lot of it involves working on previously pristine lands and just stripping them
    this isnt even the most depressing job ive had by a long shot compared to jobs like where you import garbage from china and sell it to people who throw it in the garbage

    i could forgo working and possessions and all human comforts in protest of this deranged system but it wouldnt make a difference to anyone but me
    someone else will fill these jobs and now im just a poor homeless person even more miserable than before

    i was at least able to buy some pristine land of my own with the money i made at my lucrative descructive construction job which is more than a lot of us are able

China lives off the western industries, their main income comes from cheap exports. If they can't work without regulations or regards for human safety or environmental concerns then they're bound to collapse. And they won't certainly let that happen.

    The exceedingly wealthy people who claim to care about "saving the environment" and "reducing pollution" are not spending their fortunes to do so.

    They're not willing to sacrifice their own wealth to combat these problems. They're not willing to stop flying private jets. They're not willing to stop owning a dozen houses. They're not willing to stop using slave labor in poor countries to produce their products. They're not willing to save the planet if it means they have to live as middle class or poor people. No, they want the poor and middle class to change the way they live. They want the poor and middle class to make sacrifices, not themselves.

    Until the wealthy elites start putting their money where their mouth is, until they give up being billionaires and millionaires by spending their fortunes to actually make real change, not just pushing for the middle and lower classes to change, I refuse to accept that pollution and climate change are issues I should care about. If pollution is really such a big deal, but Bill Gates isn't willing to spend 90% of his money to fight it, then I don't care. The rich have the money and connections to solve the pollution problem. They can fund solutions out of their own pockets that would benefit everyone, like building nuclear power plants and robots to clean the plastic from the ocean, but they don't. The top five wealthiest people in the world could solve the problem in a decade, but they won't because then they won't be wealthy anymore, they'll lose all their money in the process of saving the planet. And they aren't willing to do that. They never do anything that doesn't lead to them making more money.

    Those who have everything are never willing to spend for the benefit of others, so why should us poor people who have almost nothing be willing to give up what little we have?

      We already know that China and India are the most polluted counteies, no need to repeat it. You can't change that (or any issue of global scale) in your lifetime, but you can change the impact you have on your local ecosystems and significantly contribute to them. The land that directly surrounds you is the land that you're truly responsible for, and the way you treat it really shows how much you care for nature and biodiversity. Focusing on global issues beyond your grasp is just a sneaky and disingenuous way to dodge your responsibility.

It is a good excuse to push through policy that people never asked for and has nothing to do with protecting the environment. After all if you disagree with what the government does, it must mean you want the earth to shrivel up and die, like in wall-E!

        Yeah, we shouldn't be paying for their shit. So why you don't support abolishing farm subsidies rather than miring them further in red tape and destroying their businesses out right. If they can stand on their own two legs it's no skin off either of us.

        Most farmers are not nearly so wealthy as you imagine. You've disproportionately come into contact with farmers near growing urban areas, which has given you this warped perception. As urban areas sprawl, nearby land prices are driven way up. A farmer owning a large operation can now sell land he or his family has held for many years for enormous gain. Examining revenue might make you think farmers are all rich, but their costs are equally large. Agriculture, like essentially all mature industries, operates on very thin margins.

                You're refusing to aknowledge your country's role in pollution because you're obsessed with what other countries may do. You don't want to change out of principle. That's narrow minded childish mentality. Do you think i root for those bastards? Who even told you that?

                Teslas and all EVs are objectively WORSE for the environment than a normal gas car. Lithium mining today is done mostly in China and they basically just strip mine the hell out of the ground and use acid to do so. It is extremely terrible for the environment and if we ramp up Lithium battery production we will hit peak Lithium in under 30 years.
                The ONLY futute we have that could be called green is one where we're using nuclear power.

                The weird thing is population control or even acknowledging population is a problem will get you hate from both the right and the left.

                There’s better battery technology but I think we just don’t know how to cheaply scale it up. EVs literally took well off tinkerers and an internet tycoon to get lithium off the ground. Similar folks got to start playing with mass producing graphene and nanoscale and make things all the rest of us will demand in place of some dumb old Tesla that can only do 0-60 in 2 seconds.

              We already know that China and India are the most polluted counteies, no need to repeat it. You can't change that (or any issue of global scale) in your lifetime, but you can change the impact you have on your local ecosystems and significantly contribute to them. The land that directly surrounds you is the land that you're truly responsible for, and the way you treat it really shows how much you care for nature and biodiversity. Focusing on global issues beyond your grasp is just a sneaky and disingenuous way to dodge your responsibility.

              So, what Is your solution, you inbred turbosucking homosexual? Pretend that nothing happens and gas guzzling your way until you have to wear a gas mask to get out?

              You're a fricking idiot.

              The farmers are uber rich greedy fricks NEXT

              Farmers live on government subsidy for a hard job that is integral to a nations survival.

              No private individual can rival the wealth of first world countries. Do you even know the US gdp?

And if people here wants to move to other less pollutant systems, it means they still want to produce, you dingus. Offshoring industries is a practice completely unrelated to environmental issues, and It started centuries ago.

          They tell you about all the sacrifices you ah e to make while they live in luxury, telling you to accept a lower standard of living while China and India continue to pump more pollutants into the air and water than the next 3 countries combined. You'll do anything, as long as you can delude yourself into thinking your in anyway helping without actually doing anything. Just give more power to corporations and governments, that always works out so well.

              Planting a london plane by their house doesn't make up for the forests they clear and wetlands they drain to accommodate their chemically treated monocultures, and not all trees are equally useful.

              Of they plant trees it's because they want to sell wood. They don't leave trees on the corners of the fields anymore, because it deprives them from space that can be used to extend the crops. Once they let trees grow as it would give them shadow to rest, but now with their 700k tractors with AC they don't need that anymore. Also trees kept the terrain from sliding off and keep the watering canals intact. Now they just use an irrigator so they don't care if canals are suddenly clogged with dirt.

                The trees that the farmers I know plant are not for wood. They are mixed native trees to create an area of native forest around a stream and a walkway.

                The native hedgerows, wooded areas and water channels that used surround every farm are being flattened to make space for more crops. Their presence is vital for wildlife, soil and water quality, but it's an inconvenient obstacle for the modern tools of agriculture.

                I live in a suburban area of Southern New Zealand, and the farmers here are real nice. Or at least the ones I know are. Some are even scientists and have been involved in some scientific publications to determine yield or someshit when using certain fertilizers or pesticides. They aren't some fairytale villains hellbent on making as much money as possible while sucking the land bare and leaving pollution in their wake.

                You stake claim to things that aren't yours while never bothering to wonder why a farmer, who has the mos to gain from properly maintaining his land, would ruin it. You just don't know as much about agriculture as you think you do. Antiquated features like hedgerows are becoming less common in some regions because, as you or another anon previously admitted, the purpose they once served isn't needed now that better substitutes are available.

                Desire to maximize profit is nothing new. You're romanticizing an old image of agriculture. Those hedgerows and canals were no more natural than the farms you see today. Each and every one was put in place by a farmer, or several farmers, looking to maximize their profit.
                Housing and its construction follows very similar lines, but I don't see the need to muddle discussion with another topic.

                Of course not, but they were still precious wildlife corridords that mitigated habitat fragmentation. When agricultural lands are surrounded by hedges and canals animals and plant seeds can move through them and continue colonizing remote habitats. Now that all fields are 100% full of crops it's extremely difficult for populations to connect and interact, so many of them face local extinctions.

                It's not let's shut down farms. It's let's buy them plant them up in trees and sell carbon credit to the big corporates. And tax any family land owners who hold out until the idea is more inviting to them. Its $ and with the meddling going on it makes economic sense to plant the most old school carbon neutral farm in a country that's entire emissions from all its factories and transport and farming and what have you is a tenth of one percent on the world scale, plant the fricker up in some exotic trees shut the gates and sell imaginary credits instead of enough food to export and feed 50 million people and support a wealthy economy
