Environment: Chicken Feed Being Given To Salmon On Some European Farms
Summary
John Gibbons discusses the ethical and health risks of feeding chicken by-products to farmed salmon, linking the practice to BSE and pandemic concerns. He then argues that geopolitical instability and Trump’s anti-EV policies are accelerating global electric vehicle adoption, citing a 45% rise in sales and South Korea’s green energy pivot. Finally, Gibbons highlights extreme weather shifts in the Balkans and Greece as evidence of intensifying climate volatility.
