How Green Dogma Leads to Mass Hunger: YouTube/Stossel TV

In Sri Lanka people rioted when the country slipped into extreme poverty. Why did it happen? Here’s one big reason: the government banned chemical fertilizer. Environmental activists say nitrogen fertilizers shouldn’t be used, and Sri Lanka’s president listened. As a result, farms produced much less food, and food prices have risen 80%. Have the “green” activists learned from this? No. They continue to push for a chemical free world. “It’s out of control” says environmentalist Michael Shellenberger, “completely unnecessary.” In this video, he explains how this green dogma would lead to mass starvation.
