Funny, when you consider the largest source of CO2 emissions on the planet. They're plowing up wetlands and blaming German govt for CO2. Mind boggling.

> Funny, when you consider the largest source of CO2 emissions on the planet. They're plowing up wetlands and blaming German govt for CO2. Mind boggling. Not at all. Agriculture may be a large producer of CO2, but the plaintiffs are organic farmers that work hard to reduce the impact that farming has on CO2 production.

  Plowing. Wetlands. https://www.ramsar.org/news/wetlands-and-climate-change https://www.ramsar.org/news/wetlands-and-climate-change >The science is clear. Wetlands are the most effective carbon sinks on our planet. Let me guess the next story headline, "Brazilian slash and burn farmers sue government for failing to meet CO2 reduction targets." The downvotes here prove to me the people reading HN are rabid zealots who are not interested in truth or science at all.

That is something that annoys me about current political discussions: Always trying to attack the messenger instead of the message. Even if that would have been people responsible for producing the most CO2 on the planet, that would and should have no effect on the validity of the message and their claim that there is to much CO2 produced and that the government should have prevented them doing so.
