| 2023-08-01 |
| No Volcano. New perm. [FoxNews] U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry was blasted on social media over the weekend by critics who accused him of trying to destroy the agriculture industry in order to achieve "net zero" emissions. "Agriculture contributes about 33% of all the emissions of the world, depending a little bit on how you count it, but it’s anywhere from 26 to 33, and 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," Kerry told a climate change summit in May. "You just can’t continue to both warm the planet while also expecting to feed it," Kerry added. "It doesn’t work. So, we have to reduce emissions from the food system." That clip was widely shared over the weekend after being posted by the Twitter account Wide Awake Media, which led to a new wave of criticism against the Biden administration's top climate envoy. Republican Rep. Mary Miller of Illinois called them an "attack on American farmers."

| #11 I think if every school kid had to forage out in the country for 48 hours and spend a night in jail society might look quite different. |

| #10 I call it the "We will import it from Shangri-La" theory: somebody in some other country will produce it so why worry? It is an easy assumption if you are a wealthy person. |

| #5 Excuse me, John. Do you understand where food comes from? I mean the part *before* it miraculously shows up in boxes, bins and cans at the local grocery. |
