Farmers in Canada will get no Credit for what they did to help the climate up to 2017

So SF3 doesn't believe in human caused climate change caused by increased CO2 emissions, but he still believes that by sequestering carbon (capturing C02 in soils) he "helped" the climate! An interesting contradiction. maybe SF3 can "rant" at us with an explanation of the obvious contradiction.

Hey it's Thursday! Lets have some fun. Lets watch SF3 explain why he wants to be paid for solving a problem that doesn't exist!

Chuck if the earth was surviving and thriving with 10 times today Co2 and we were a tropical paradise except for the dinosaurs. I would take that over what we have now in winter.

But you can't see past the last few years.

It's fun with numbers and like the NFU you cant understand them.

[chuckChuck]

JWAB,Habitat destruction, ocean degradation all have strong links to climate change. Two examples

1. Rising global temperatures are increasing boreal forests to burn, releasing more carbon.
2. Increasing CO2 levels in the ocean are leading to acidification which threatens many marine habitats and species.

I am just not sure how you can be pro protecting habitat for future generations and then not be concerned about well documented human caused climate change's dramatic impact on ecosystems? Please explain.

So I take it you are not able or willing to explain the contradiction of why you should be paid for "helping" the climate but don't believe in human caused climate change? LOL

So you would prefer to farm in the tropics I take it. With dinosaurs no less? Are you thinking of farming with dinosaurs? Because you probably have the right aptitude for understanding them!

Why not buy an orange grove in Florida or a soybean farm in Brazil? That way you can leave us hardy prairie farmers to put in a full year of work while you vacation for 1/2 a year!

Chuck2 how do you propose that farmers in Canada compete with jurisdictions like Russia, Brazil and the U.S. where there is no carbon tax and one is not proposed?! In the U.S. there is no proposed carbon tax but farmers can collect carbon credits. How do you square this circle?!

Tipical Lefty jealous! Come on chuck u do nothing all year but cut and paste!

Are you *** serious , ??

Shouldn't u be turtle waxing your solar panels? In your shorty shorts? It's nice out!

CHUCK , answer this question , FFS?

Chuck2 in the U.S. they are using the carrot approach in Canada they are using the stick approach which do you think will be more successful?!

[AlbertaFarmer5]

That would depend on what you define as success?
It seems that Chuck/NFU/Federal Liberals/UN definition of success differs ever so slightly from anyone with an ounce of common sense or understanding of economics.

[chuckChuck]

Hamloc, Ask Jason Kenney and Scotty Moe. They both have carbon taxes on large emitters such a fertilizer plants.

Both carrot and stick policies are going to be used and are being used by Conservative governments.

Oh,and Erin Otoole supports the Paris climate accord and not one Premier has said that the science is wrong or that they don't have a plan to reduce emissions.

The most interesting thing about this thread is that avowed climate change deniers seem to believe that they should be paid for carbon credits. Two observations: 1. They must believe human caused climate change is real. 2. Or they like to contradict themselves.
