Can anyone downvoting this explain why? To me it seems a balanced argument, well worded, void of emotion, and I can't see a fault in it.

I didn't downvote it, but regardless of why the farmers are protesting (which indeed is about nitrogen emissions limits), the farm industry does also contribute significantly to air pollution - https://euconf.eu/clean-air/topics-air-pollution-from-agricu... (this and plenty of other studies/measures).
So while I did bring up the farmer protests, which are indeed about nitrogen and not about climate change, it's still one facet of the same problem: commercial interests over regional and global health interests.
