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 the video above, he explains how this green dogma would lead to mass starvation.
