Wise Up Journal - The True Face Of The Climate Change Con

The sad irony in the above article promoting sterilisation to reduce the population’s carbon footprint as “we don’t need any more kids” would most likely have Hitler, if he was alive today, claiming to be one of the best carbon footprint offsetters to the glee of his supporters. Unfortunately that satire on Hitler is too close to the present day truth. China has a strong abortion policy when it comes to women wanting more than one child who can’t pay the extra child fine/tax. On August 30th 2007 Reuters reported: “avoiding 300 million births ‘means we averted 1.3 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide in 2005′ based on average world per capital emissions of 4.2 tonnes, he said [Su Wei, a senior Foreign Ministry official]. China says its one-child policy has helped the fight against global warming by avoiding 300 million births, the equivalent of the population of the United States. ‘Population is clearly an important factor,’ said Yvo de Boer, head of the U.N. Climate Change Secretariat.”

Wheatbelt deal to lock up carbon in trees : thewest.com.au

Millions of trees are set to be planted across the Wheatbelt in Australia’s biggest deal to tackle climate change by “locking up” carbon in plants.

The contract, between Perth company Carbon Conscious and energy firm Origin, will be worth up to $169 million over 15 years.

It will see hundreds of Wheatbelt famers selling “carbon rights” to portions of their land. Carbon Conscious will then plant native mallee eucalypts on the property to lock up carbon for at least a century.

The practice is likely to become a significant mechanism for generating carbon credits for use in the Federal emissions trading scheme after the carbon pollution reduction scheme legislation is approved in Parliament.

Carbon Conscious chief executive Peter Balsarini said farmers would be invited to turn over 10 to 20 per cent of their land, in return for a leasing fee negotiated on the basis of the land’s agricultural value. Much of the land would be of marginal quality for growing crops, meaning that many farmers would be tempted to invest in the scheme as a means of extracting some guaranteed value from the land.

Dec '08: Carbon-Offset Cowboys Let Their Grass Grow: Scientific American

Last year Sun Ranch became the first ranch in the U.S. to cash in on a program that pays rangeland owners to help fight global warming. The ranch received a $30,000 check for the carbon dioxide its grasslands have been absorbing from the air. The more carbon dioxide in the ground, the less of it in the atmosphere, and that benefits everyone.

Under the program, owners would be paid for carbon stored in their trees as long as they agree to manage the forest and permit inspections to ensure tree-bound carbon remained in place for at least 15 years.
