THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Thousands of Dutch farmers, many driving tractors, poured into The Hague on Wednesday to protest government moves to rein in carbon and nitrogen emissions to better fight climate change.
It was the second major protest this month by Dutch farmers who say the government is unfairly targeting them as it seeks to slash emissions.
“They blame agriculture for everything at the moment because of nitrogen emissions,” said farmer Jans de Wilcher.
