The Heartland Institute - Followup to the 2009 International Conference on Climate Change

“The ICCC was a great success, and I believe we're turning the tide--in public opinion, anyway. Politicians and media seem likely to be the last ones to get the memo that AGW is a dead issue.”

Seems odd, since the world is allegedly overheating and all: Record Cold Weather Payment payout for Age Concern customers

Following the coldest winter for over a decade, almost 200,000 gas customers on the Age Concern Energy Services tariff, developed in conjunction with E.ON, are set to receive the highest ever Cold Weather Payment payout between May and July this year, the total sum of which will exceed £4 million - a record amount for Age Concern Energy Services and paid for by E.ON. This figure is more than double the payment issued last year and is sure to be welcomed by many older people across the UK.

Carbon [credit fraud means] cash

There's a relatively new income potential available for Kansas farmers, ranchers and landowners. It's called carbon credits and can be earned primarily through conservation practices implemented on farms and ranches.

A carbon credit is not something you can taste, smell or see, says Steve Swaffar, Kansas Farm Bureau Natural Resources director.

"You can't reach in the grain bin and grab a handful of carbon credits, and you can't feed a carbon credit to a steer to fatten it for market."

But producers can sell carbon credits like any other farm commodity or product. Farmers and ranchers can be paid for storing carbon in the soil through continuous no-till or strip-till farming, planting of new grasses, specific rangeland management practices, forestry management and methane capture utilizing ag methane digesters.
