Als deze regering alle boeren opruimt verdwijnt niet alleen onze voedselproducent, maar ook de boerenbrandweer. Geen giertanks meer die in 5 minuten een natte cirkel om het vuur leggen. Dan mag de brandweer het zelf uitzoeken bij de volgende natuurbranden in de slecht beheerde natuurparken van/door onze overheid. Handig, hè? #Boeren #Brandweer #Natuur

Beste Greenpeace Nederland over bullshit gesproken: 1. Ik heb het over NATUURbranden die zijn afgenomen en dat is een FEIT. En nuanceer dat zelfs richting BOSbranden in Europa. Jullie kunnen niet luisteren of je wil niet luisteren. bron: https://t.co/JLtWTE3y6P 2. Klimaatverandering is er. Er niet op inspelen in je natuurbeheer is het probleem waar je wat aan kunt doen vandaag. FEIT. 3. In veel Zuid-Europese landen wordt 80-95% van de branden direct of indirect door menselijk handelen veroorzaakt. Als die mensen dat niet doen, dan is er geen brand... Dat is een FEIT. Bron: rapportages van Europese instellingen en natuurorganisaties die gebruikmaken van gegevens van het European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS) en nationale brandstatistieken. https://t.co/dgVne10P5v bijvoorbeeld 4. ik zeg zelfs dat het door de droogte een probleem is dat er zoveel dood hout ligt. Maar het is een bewuste keuze vanuit natuurbeheer om meer hout in de bossen te laten liggen. Ook natuurbeheerders horen rekening te houden met droogte. FEIT.
