The Government wants to reduce the cost of measuring carbon in the soilJust as farmers are getting excited about the possibilities experts are questioning the effectiveness of the practice.
Angus Taylor wants to cut the cost by 90 per cent but soil carbon expert, Professor Budiman Minasny, said cutting it in half to about $50/hectare is more likely, well short of the $3/hectare target.Michael Crawford from the Cooperative Research Centre for High Performing Soils said the cost of measuring carbon is not the main issue.
John Connor is from industry group the Carbon Market Institute in western NSW, where 140 carbon farming projects are running. The Carbon Funding Initiative has been operating for eight years, paying farmers and other land managers to capture greenhouse gas emissions and store them in vegetation and soil, or to reduce emissions from livestock or savanna fires.
John Connor, the CEO of industry organisation the Carbon Market Institute, said there are 140 between Bourke and Cobar alone.
Yes it's called grass, grows just about everywhere these days:
What emission ? It's farming, done for donkey years. They have enough shit coming from government restrictions already.
If course not. This is clumate fakery trying to invent jobs for those whose livelihoods will be destroyed by the communist climate hoax madness.
If it means exactly what the words mean then the answer is no, it will make them worse.
I know, let's ask a scientist.
It’s not reducing emissions - just a clever way of sweeping them under the carpet. Every little bit helps but we should call a spade a spade.
It'll get rorted. It's the Australian way.
No
No. Only thing reducing emissions is government subsidies. No subsidies the green gay warriors will have to find another cause.
No
No, of course it doesn't reduce emissions. What an idiotic claim.
Communists always target agriculture first when they seize property. This is a part of the “farmers are evil” narrative that they have to seed in the people’s minds first.
these farmers say yes
And Bashar Al-Assad on the left?
Is that Elton John on the right?
I want to move to the country, buy some land and farm me some carbon....
