Silly decisions are made when you live in fear · The Slippery Slope

• 0:05
  Hi Jay Fallon here, thank you for listening to the slippery
• 0:08
  slope. So I believe that living in fear
• 0:13
  the end, especially at the moment, living in fear of
• 0:17
  climate change, or climate crisis, whatever you want to
• 0:19
  call it can send you will send you a little loopy.
• 0:24
  It may be that it causes you to make a few crazy decisions, a
• 0:28
  few out there. Visions things that just don't
• 0:31
  really make sense a case in point, Greta gomberg.
• 0:36
  Now Fox News host Tucker, Carlson and said, climate
• 0:40
  activists. Ms, tunberg is being exploited
• 0:44
  by politicians and media houses as he slammed climate and energy
• 0:49
  policies as lunacy policy. He says does the name Greta
• 0:54
  doing Berg come to mind? That's the girl who's always
• 0:58
  lecturing you. A bit about global warming and
• 1:02
  how you are evil. He said in his monologue, a
• 1:05
  Greta Tom Berg is someone who needed help and concern from
• 1:09
  adults at the age of 11, she lost 22 pounds because according
• 1:14
  to her parents, she was so depressed about global warming
• 1:18
  that she couldn't eat. And then she was diagnosed with
• 1:21
  the whole Suite of very serious problems, including OCD mutism
• 1:27
  Asperger's, which is very, very sad.
• 1:29
  Had actually said Carlson called it crazy, that Miss Dunn Berg
• 1:34
  was lecturing people on energy policy and said she was someone
• 1:38
  who needs real help and care and empathy from adults.
• 1:43
  And family, I always say that she never received proper
• 1:47
  guidance from her parents at all.
• 1:51
  So, I've blame her parents for a lot of the issues going on
• 1:55
  because she had Parents who, obviously, just allowed her to
• 1:58
  dwell in. Our own depression.
• 2:01
  Anyway he goes on, he says that you're supposed to accommodate
• 2:04
  gratitude Berg's, disability. Pretend her words profound just
• 2:09
  like the fake poet at Biden's inauguration.
• 2:12
  Oh, she was so great. We dare you to say she wasn't he
• 2:16
  said and broke into anise teracle laughs.
• 2:19
  Now there's this about Greta Schaumburg, like I said, you
• 2:22
  know, I believe it. I think she is a good example of
• 2:26
  all this living in fear of climate.
• 2:29
  Change the climate crisis. It sends you a little crazy,
• 2:34
  cause you to make silly outrageous, outlandish
• 2:37
  decisions. And talking about outlandish,
• 2:40
  outrageous decisions. New Zealand's prime minister.
• 2:44
  Just Center are doing. How is this?
• 2:47
  I've learned. I've done an article done an
• 2:49
  episode on this before, but it looks like it is actually going
• 2:53
  to happen. New Zealand, plan to tax cow and
• 2:57
  sheep burps and faces of Clash. Apparently, so New Zealand's
• 3:02
  farmers are resisting government plans to tax.
• 3:05
  The greenhouse gases that farm animals make from burping and
• 3:09
  peeing in an attempt to curb climate breakdown.
• 3:14
  Now, you got to remember, this is from New Zealand, one of the
• 3:18
  smallest nations in the world, it only has five million people
• 3:21
  there anyway, so they're going to tackle the climate crisis by
• 3:27
  taxing the sheep and Cattle. Okay, so the world first Farm
• 3:32
  Levi would enable Farmers to recover the cost by charging
• 3:36
  more for climate friendly products.
• 3:38
  The government hopes sounds like absolutely crazy idea to me.
• 3:44
  So it says New Zealand farmers are set to be the first in the
• 3:47
  world to reduce agricultural emissions.
• 3:50
  Positioning our biggest export market, for the competitive
• 3:54
  advantage, that brings in a world increasingly Discerning
• 3:58
  about the provenance of Their food.
• 4:01
  Thus saith prime minister, just Cinder are done so all the money
• 4:06
  collected from the proposed Farm Levy, which Farmers would pay
• 4:09
  from 2025, would be put back into the industry to fund, new
• 4:14
  technology, research and incentive payments for Farmers.
• 4:18
  Ms, are doing said the proposal will provide Financial
• 4:22
  incentives for Farmers to use technology that reduces cheap
• 4:26
  and cow burps. However, Farmers have slated,
• 4:32
  the plan with Lobby group Federated Farmers, claiming the
• 4:36
  plan would rip the guts out of small town, New Zealand and sea
• 4:41
  Farms replaced with trees, they say increased costs will
• 4:46
  encourage Farmers to turn beef and sheep farms into forestry.
• 4:52
  The group's President, Andrew Hoggard said, Farmers had been
• 4:56
  trying to work with the government for more than two
• 4:59
  years. On an emissions reduction plan
• 5:02
  that would not decrease food production and this is the whole
• 5:06
  issue. This is going to reduce food
• 5:09
  production, it will decrease food production in a time when
• 5:14
  we need to increase food production and like I've said
• 5:17
  before, it seems like our our nation different nation's
• 5:23
  leaders. Make these crazy outlandish
• 5:26
  decisions based on fear based on Sometimes you don't even
• 5:30
  understand, we can't follow their logic, it seems like they
• 5:34
  are trying to destroy their nation's economy on purpose.
• 5:38
  And that's what it seems here with just Cinder are doing.
• 5:41
  This will decrease food production, what is the point of
• 5:45
  that? When the world needs more food?
• 5:48
  Not less. Anyway, goes on say that our
• 5:51
  plan was to keep Farmers farming.
• 5:53
  Mr. Ha guard said instead, he said Farmers would be selling
• 5:58
  their Farms. So fast.
• 6:00
  You won't even hear the dogs barking on the back of the Ute
• 6:04
  as they drive off. He says so Andrew Morrison
• 6:08
  chairman or Farm Lobby group beef and lamb in New Zealand
• 6:12
  said, while Farmers know they have to do their bit to address
• 6:15
  climate change. The amount of Farmland in
• 6:18
  forestry needed to be recognized.
• 6:21
  So New Zealand's farming industry is vital to its economy
• 6:25
  with the 10 million beef and dairy cattle.
• 6:30
  And 26 million sheep far, outnumbering the country's
• 6:34
  population of five million people, so the vast industry
• 6:38
  makes New Zealand unusual in that about half of its emissions
• 6:42
  of climate heating greenhouse gases come from farms with
• 6:46
  methane from cattle burps and nitrous oxide from the urine,
• 6:51
  the main culprit, but more climate change means worse
• 6:55
  impacts for Farmers. The agriculture Minister said
• 6:59
  farmers. Already experiencing the impact
• 7:01
  of climate change with more regular drought and flooding.
• 7:07
  So the same farmers are experiencing more droughts and
• 7:12
  more flooding. Apparently Damien O'Connor said
• 7:15
  taking the lead on agricultural, emissions is both good for the
• 7:19
  environment and our economy. I don't think so.
• 7:23
  I don't think it will be good for their economy.
• 7:25
  I think it will have a devastating effect, the farming
• 7:28
  industry. Anyway, the proposal now goes to
• 7:31
  consultation and we'll need to be passed into law before being
• 7:34
  put into Force, like I This episode with Pia of climate
• 7:40
  change is causing people to make the most crazy outlandish,
• 7:46
  stupid decisions, decisions that just do not make sense, whether
• 7:52
  it be little, Greta torn Berg, who is in Soma, who was in so
• 7:56
  much feel when she was younger, but she lost 22 pounds.
• 8:00
  I mean how many nothing is lock. Roughly 10 kilos, and she's only
• 8:04
  a tiny little thing. And And suffered from
• 8:08
  depression, debilitating depression, and there, you've
• 8:11
  got New Zealand's prime minister make, and they're making
• 8:16
  decisions that will make the food production, decrease for
• 8:20
  the nation. Living in fear causes you to
• 8:25
  make crazy crazy decisions. Like I said, so many leaders
• 8:33
  around the world of making decisions that seem to be bad
• 8:36
  for their Nations. And yet they're putting their
• 8:38
  hands up saying, this is good because of climate change.
• 8:41
  We need to do this because of the climate crisis living in
• 8:47
  fear of a climate crisis is causing our leaders to make
• 8:53
  crazy stupid decisions. That are destroying economies
• 9:00
  and will go on to destroy Nations.
• 9:03
  That is my opinion. Thank you for listening to the
• 9:06
  slippery slope.
