At the World Economic Forum Gore had all the answers to the question: "How do we Avert a Climate Recession?"
Here's the scheme. The federal government subsidizes farmers through a program called crop insurance. Gore wants to flip the script--instead of helping farmers grow more food, he wants to use that money to incentivize them to grow less.
Gore used fancy language about "regenerative agriculture" and "soil vitality." But strip away his buzzwords and here's what he actually said: farmers are producing too much, too fast, and the government should bribe them to stop.
In Gore's upside down world, abundant harvests are an environmental problem. The American farmer--who feeds this nation and half the globe--is the villain.
