The Voice of Agriculture - Farm Bureau Strongly Opposes Boxer-Kerry Climate Change Bill
WASHINGTON, D.C., October 2, 2009 – The Boxer-Kerry climate change bill introduced in the Senate on Wednesday includes few provisions that are friendly to agriculture and will be strongly opposed by the American Farm Bureau Federation.

“America’s farmers and ranchers did not fare that well in the House-passed climate change bill and they fare even worse in the Senate bill,” said American Farm Bureau Federation President Bob Stallman. “There are few benefits and even greater costs to agriculture and the American public.”

Boxer also offered an explanation for why she and Kerry decided to change the legislative lingo surrounding their bill, dropping references to "cap and trade" and instead labeling the greenhouse gas trading provisions as a "pollution reduction and investment" program.

"No one really understood what cap and trade meant," Boxer said. "You could be talking about putting a cap on a baseball player and trading him to another team. No one got it. We're saying 'pollution reduction investments.' We think it explains it more."
