The European Union has caved in to angry protests from farmers, cutting its target to scrap specific agricultural emissions which formed part of the bloc’s net zero drive.

A demand to reduce nitrogen, methane and other emissions linked to farming by almost a third has been removed from a wider Brussels plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 90 per cent by 2040.

    We should have taxed the shit out of fossil fuels then given that tax money directly back to the farmers.

    They would financially be the same but then they can make more money by using less fossil fuels.
