This article gets so much wrong. For starters "to slash greenhouse gas emissions" is wrong; it's about nitrogen oxides.
The amount of farming we do in our tiny country is pushing the limit of what you can do to nature and it's causing issues on a local scale. The unfortunate thing is that we're about the most efficient producer in the world too, so on a global scale, cutting down production here would probably be a bad thing.
They are relevant for local warming (normally named "heat islands"), but not much for global warming. Anyway, they have much more important local effects, so mostly nobody cares about the warming.
