(CNN) A farmers’ protest party in the Netherlands has caused a shock after winning provincial elections this week just four years after their founding. Could their rise have wider implications?
The Farmer-Citizen Movement or BoerburgerBeweging (BBB) grew out of mass demonstrations against the Dutch government’s environmental policies, protests that saw farmers using their tractors to block public roads. The BBB is now set to become the largest party in the Dutch senate.
The developments have thrown the Dutch government’s ambitious environmental plans into doubt and are being watched closely by the rest of Europe.
The movement was powered by ordinary farmers but has become an unlikely front in the culture wars. Donald Trump and Marine Le Pen have voiced support, while some in the far right see the movement as embodying their ideas of elites using green policies to trample on the rights of…

(The Daily Caller) The Hawaii Supreme Court ruled Monday that there is a right to a “life-sustaining climate system,” marking the first time a U.S. court has ruled that citizens have climate rights, according to Bloomberg Law.
The case was brought by Hu Honua Bioenergy against the Public Utilities Commission (PUC), which regulates all utility companies operating within the state, after the regulator denied the company’s plan to enter into a power purchasing agreement with Hawaii Electric Light Company (HELCO). The court upheld the regulator’s decision, finding that the PUC “understood its public interest-minded mission” and rightly considered the impact of the project on citizens’ “right to a clean and healthful environment,” according to the opinion of the court, written by Associate Justice Todd Eddins.
The case has been ongoing since 2017, when environmental advocacy group Life of the Land appealed the PUC’s initial approval of the project to the Hawaii Supreme Court, which the court then sent back…

(Julian Rose, Activist Post) ‘Net Zero’, what does it mean? Does anyone know? Who dreamt up this slogan?
Put together, these two words don’t actually have any meaning. ‘Net’ is usually used as a shortened form of ‘netto’ (netto/brutto) a term used in accountancy describing a sum of money remaining after taxes or expenses have been deducted.
So what could ‘Net Zero’ possibly mean? That nothing will be left once zero carbon has been achieved?
The term seems to ape, no doubt for good reason, the one chosen to describe the blackened hole in the ground left after the devastation of 9/11: Ground Zero.
Look at it this way: by reducing carbon dioxide to nil (zero carbon) all plant life dependent for its growth on this natural gas will die. By extension, all humans and animals dependent upon the oxygen that plants produce, via the conversion of carbon dioxide into oxygen, will also die. Basic biology reveals that is indeed the case.
So what the inventors of ‘Net Zero’ seem to be suggesting is…

(Daily Caller) The Biden administration announced a drilling ban on several million acres of land and ocean in Alaska Sunday, ahead of the administration’s expected approval of a massive drilling project in the state Monday, according to several reports.
The administration’s new rule would bar the sale of future oil drilling leases on three million acres of the Beaufort Sea and 13 million acres across the Natural Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NPR-A), blocking future access to more than half of the 23 million acres set aside for oil exploration, according to the Associated Press. The White House is expected to approve ConocoPhillips’ $8 billion Willow project, also situated on the NPR-A, over the objections of green activists, according to multiple reports.
The White House had few options to directly limit the scope of the Willow project, since oil firm ConocoPhillips held leases for the project since 1999, a Biden administration official told…

(FOX) Republican lawmakers are tearing into U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm after she held up China as a model for the United States to emulate on climate change.
At the annual SXSW conference in Austin, Texas, on Friday, Granholm praised China’s efforts to tackle climate change, saying the communist country “has been very sensitive, and has actually invested a lot in their solutions, to achieve their goals.”
“We’re hopeful that, you know, we can all learn from what China is doing,” Granholm said.
Her comments drew a heated response from GOP House members, who accused her of “siding with China against American energy producers.”…
