Amsterdam’s Ban On Meat And Oil Ads Exposes The Farce Of Climate Alarmism
Politicians banning meat and fossil fuel ads show ignorance of history, economics, and common sense.

Amsterdam just became the world’s first capital to outlaw public ads for both meat and fossil fuels. [some emphasis, links added]
Starting May 1, city officials scrubbed billboards, tram stops, and metro stations of promotions for gasoline cars, airlines, cruises, and distant vacations, along with beef, chicken, pork, and fish.
In place of the now-illegal ads are posters for the Rijksmuseum and piano concerts, which apparently are included in the city’s vision of a carbon-neutral metropolis that consumes half as much meat.
Driving the ad ban through the city council were two political parties, GreenLeft and Party for the Animals. Their claim of fighting impulse buying that locks in “high-carbon” habits poorly disguises an abuse of political power that denies people reasonable everyday choices in exchange for nothing benefiting the environment.
