Salivating over climate swindle money?

Brownfield Network: NFU president says cap and trade is coming

National Farmers Union President Roger Johnson says those against a cap and trade system as part of climate legislation need to realize the U.S. is heading in that direction. For those against cap and trade, and many of them are in agriculture - Johnson says, they need to accept that it’s coming, “They have their collective heads in the sand on this thing. This is gonna happen. The rest of the world is doing it, the science is settled.”

But, he says Farmers Union won’t sign onto the current House bill unless USDA, not EPA, handles the ag side of carbon offsets, “USDA probably has the best science in the world on agricultural offsets, so they should be in charge of it.”

And, Johnson says there should not be penalties for ‘early adopters’, “We think they ought to be rewarded, for those farmers or ranchers who’ve adopted practices recently that are good for the climate.”
