So why can't farmer associations turn it around?

I would have to agree, carbon offsets are a huge scam at this time. That being said it's one we can make some money from. I'm working with someone now that has a buyer now for any carbon credits that are willing to be sold. One of the key factors in maximizing profits from this is record keeping and will continue to be so in the future. Between current and past carbon sequestration we are looking at a figure of roughly $12/ac. My opinion is get your money while you can before agriculture has to sart off-setting their own emissions or the public realizes that this system simply allow emiters to justify polution.

... Gore's documentary, right?
Mark Steyn made an interesting observation in his book called "America Alone":
"We are, warns Al Gore portentiously, altering the balance of energy between our planet and the rest of the universe".
And then Steyn questions if the scientific community has actually studied the energy-relationship between the earth and say, Saturn? Any planet?
Nope.
Gore is making a scientific statement, unstudied, not verifiable, and unsubstantiated, so Gore resorted to appointing himself as the qualified scientific expert.

Can you cite a convincing response, cottonpickin, or do you just need to indulge in your usual daily nasty-tantrum?
I am not suggesting that North American leaders act as "les rois faineants" (do nothing kings), but have you looked at Kyoto's record:
1. Kyoto was negotiated in 1997.
2. At that time the Chretien Government committed to reducing Canada's emmissions.
3. The stated goal was to reduce emmissions 6% BELOW the 1990 levels, and this was to be done by 2012.
4. By 2005, under the same Government, Canada's emmissions had actually increased by 24%.
Read that again cottonpickin,
Increased by 24% in 2005.
So asking, how effective was Kyoto,and is the process doable, becomes a legitimate question.
Couple that with Kyoto's operationl scheme to transfer carbon-credit wealth to third world countries, when it could be said that keeping that wealth in-country would not only benefit Canadians, but the less-emissions goals as well, so I think there is room for questioning.
FYI: Nor did I say 'I did or did not' watch the documentary.

having to buy carbon credits is simply the working of the free market. If you are a C02 emmitter you will be fined (in other words ,having to buycredits)
If you are constantly having to fork out money to buy credits, Do you not think that maybe as a businessman you would clean up your plant so as not to emit as much ?
Yes you would.

Back again- I do agree that the liberal gov't signed on and didn't do squat about emmisions after that. I hope the conservatives will but right now they are simply borrowing their "green platform " from liberal ideas.
Someone once said "conservatives are simply liberals in a hurry! "
I hope they do hurry.
Yes our zero tilled land has value in carbon credits- actually if Canada was still in Kyota it would be worth a whole lot more per acre than now.

Parsley ,
having to buy carbon credits is simply the working of the free market. If you are a C02 emmitter you will be fined (in other words ,having to buycredits)
If you are constantly having to fork out money to buy credits, Do you not think that maybe as a businessman you would clean up your plant so as not to emit as much ?
Yes you would.

Back again- I do agree that the liberal gov't signed on and didn't do squat about emmisions after that. I hope the conservatives will but right now they are simply borrowing their "green platform " from liberal ideas.
Someone once said "conservatives are simply liberals in a hurry! "
I hope they do hurry.
Yes our zero tilled land has value in carbon credits- actually if Canada was still in Kyota it would be worth a whole lot more per acre than now.
