How are farmers' protests in the EU related to climate change?

From Berlin and Paris to Brussels and Bucharest, European farmers have taken to the streets in protest with their tractors in recent weeks.

According to reports, these agricultural protesters from across the European Union have a range of concerns, including competition from cheaper imports, rising energy and fertilizer costs, and environmental regulations.

Farmer groups in countries including Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Lithuania, Poland and Romania have protested in recent months.

The UK's Sunday Telegraph attempted to frame the protests as a "net zero revolt" with several other media outlets reporting that farmers were opposing climate or "green" regulations. (ORLA DWYER, More at carbonbrief.com)
