No, i was saying if temps. only fell half a degree why were there so many frosts in 1816? Common sense . How come crops didn't freeze out in '91' ( pinatubo ) ? by your theory of half a degree cooler in 1816 we should of froze out in '91' You nit-picked the half degree C and made it a theory that makes a drastic change worldwide. It doesn't. Major volcanic eruptions were to blame both times.

I forgot propane is 3 cents a litre at 20$ a tonne, rising to 7.5 cents a litre at 50$ a tonne.
As for cattle Google Leonardo Decaprio and banning beef. There is a movement in India to ban the raising and consumption of beef. Leonardo is on board and if you think it will remain isolated to India you are very optimistic. If you give people an inch they will take a mile my Dad always said!

Of course I'm sure as none of you believe in climate change or Government interference or subsidies you all firmly refused to take part in the program and were all raising hell with your MPs and MLAs to have it stopped. Funny I never heard a peep along those lines though - did anyone else?
Here is a good paper on the zero-till/climate change topic.

Actually Grassfarmer I participated for one year and then I decided it was a greater pain in the ass than it was worth. Did you watch the you tube video of Leonardo wanting to ban beef? Unfortunately you can preach all that you wish about the carbon sequestration benefits of properly managed grazing but by far the majority of environmentalists are against the production of meat especially beef, just the way it is.

Anyone who heats their home with a propane furnace would have slightly smaller % increase.
We will have to use Alberta as a case study to see if their GHG emissions change by the end of the disastrous NDP term.
I predict their GHG emissions will track their economic output and employment rates.
Hopefully most of the Notley damage can be reversed.

Gassy.
You think you have a hard time convincing the Agriville crowd about the positive GHG of your cattle, just try to convince the environmental side.
I'm sure you have a binder full of positive letters from them - not. lol
Being a patsy, isn't going to gain you any credits from the carbon freaks.

It's simply because that is "the business" of your cattle production.
Unless you bow down to the dung beetle, the decomposition of your paddy production is the 100 % release of its nitrite oxide of every chip. Your method is far worse than the spreading and incorporation procedure of a feedlot operation. There is only so much that a cloven hoof can punch under cover.
You are not grasping the mindset of an environmentalist. They want you to be growing plant protein, not GHG producing animal protein, and it does not matter how you choose to put lipstick on it. They are not your friends.
Wise up, and put your energy into countering those folks because they mean to do you harm.
Be a farmer.

Nitrous oxide, aka "laughing gas" - how appropriate given that's what we are doing with your feeble attempts to discredit grazing cattle's positive impact on the environment. "Worse than incorporating feedlot manure" indeed! Pass the N2O again, lol.
