(Ezekiel Loseke, Headline USA) John Kerry, Joe Biden’s special presidential envoy for climate, announced a new war against farmers and ranchers on behalf of climate change.
Kerry announced his campaign against American agriculture at the Agriculture Innovation Mission for Climate, which is hosted by the US Department of Agriculture, according to the Post Millennial. The comments were also made to set the stage for the globalist United Nations Climate Change Conference, or COP28, coming up in November.
Kerry acknowledged that most Americans would be surprised by his new war on agriculture.
“A lot of people have no clue that agriculture contributes about 33% of all the emissions of the world,” he said, taking the high end of the estimate before acknowledging the number could be as low as 26%. “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,” he continued, naming farmers and ranchers as the next target in the left’s war on the American economy.
“So all of us [here] understand the depths of this mission.”
The International Energy Agency explained that the agricultural industry must be understood as enemy number one.
“The largest source of anthropogenic methane emissions is agriculture,” it said, explaining that farmers and ranchers produce about 25% of the emissions. “[Farmers and ranchers are] closely followed by the energy sector, which includes emissions from coal, oil, natural gas and biofuels.”
Kerry laid out his climate alarmist strategy for his new war on American farmers.
“[The agricultural sector] needs innovation now more than ever,” he said, calling for expensive changes in the farming and ranching industry. “We’re facing record malnutrition, at a time when agriculture more than any other sector is suffering from the impacts of the climate crisis,” he continued, expressing a need for increased supply to go along with the increased costs of production.
The increased cost of production, coupled with increased demands for supply, amounted to an attack on small farmers and ranchers, critics noted. These agriculture producers have less access to immediate capital to “innovate” and produce less food than their larger competition before new operating systems disrupt their production methods.
