Michigan Farmer - Farm Bureau President Tells Critics: Circumstances Have Changed

Another issue of huge concern to Farm Bureau is climate change legislation. "At the very time we need to increase our food production, climate change legislation threatens to slash our ability to do so. The exact level of land that will shift to trees will depend on the price of carbon – a number nobody knows at this point – but USDA suggests we could easily be talking about 59 million acres."

Stallman noted in today's terms that means eliminating about 130,000 farms and ranches that grow food and crops. "The United States would be less able to provide the world a viable hunger safety net. Food prices here at home would shoot up. The result? Less food security and our climate would not improve, not even by one degree. That is not the kind of American agriculture I want to leave behind for future generations."

Stallman also told delegates, "Our message to Congress about cap and trade is clear – Don't CAP Our Future." Farm caps with that message were handed out at the meeting.

By following the procedures laid out in the federal False Claims Act, the whistleblowers could potentially be entitled to part of the money recovered from the case. "Estimates of the total sums invested in government climate research already exceed $50 billion," said John O'Sullivan, a guest writer for climategate.com who communicates regularly with Clizbe. "The offer put on the table to Mann's colleagues could be the most lucrative whistleblower deal ever made."

Ditch the dog; throw away (sorry, recycle) those takeaway menus; bin bottled water; get rid of that gas-guzzling car and forget flying to far-flung places. These are just some of the sacrifices we in the West will need to make if we are to survive climate change.

The stark warning comes from the renowned Worldwatch Institute, a Washington-based organisation regarded as the world's pre-eminent environmental think tank.
