I think Charcoal production would be a natural fit… maybe double the carbon credits?

The biggest scam in the world is the carbon credit markets… but so long as its being driven ahead by our elites we in forest based communities would be wise to ensure it is working to our benefit, rather than our cost.

Time Will Tell

Let me see if I have this right.

Our forests have taken a major natural crop failure hit. While some farmers can buy crop insurance for annual crops, we self insure.

So now is the time to pay up from the “premium” we have set aside each year so that 4 generations from now, in 80 years on average, let us say, we can once more reap the benefits through stumpage immposed on trees when they are cut. Of course, this all assumes that we will still be in the mindset to cut the trees.

Oh, wait, I get it, we never set aside a premium for that kind of happenstance and we really do not have the capacity to reforest.

Did this not happen to the Romans in Italy at one time?

The truth about Carbon Credits – Cap & Trade is it profitable, at least on paper, to say, plant a tree These monetary incentives should never be overlooked. Ask the big banks that have already started to speculate on this if you don’t believe it.

Only time will tell if this market economics initiative will prove effective in reducing the actual amount of GHGs we release into the atmosphere. I would advice a safe degree of skepticism on this one.

Carbon credits, bankers love them but the market is almost dead. Oh yea C02 makes the trees grow and the more the better.

So a trace gas that is .04% of the atmosphere is going to cook us. Then how come in the past when C02 was many times higher the earth did not cook? That was a time of lus, vegetation.

Our carbon tax is just a taxation scam based on an unproven science. The government knows this is just a scam and are lying through their collective teeth.

Just follow the money, 5.5 cents a litre at the pumps, for what?

This says it all

Based on the wealth of information we have acquired on the cycling of climate on a millennial time scale, going back from the Current Warm Period to the Little Ice Age to the Medieval Warm Period to the Dark Ages Cold Period to the Roman Warm Period and etc. (when there was consistently much less CO2 in the air than there is today), we conclude that our current level of warmth — which is in no way unprecedented — owes next to nothing to earth’s currently higher atmospheric CO2 concentration. And also knowing of the tremendous growth-enhancing and water-conserving effects of atmospheric CO2 enrichment, which have been demonstrated to occur in literally thousands of laboratory and field experiments (see results archived in our Plant Growth Databases), we feel that we must allow anthropogenic CO2 emissions to continue to rise unimpeded, until they are naturally abated by the natural, unforced and non-subsidized development of economically viable non-fossil-fuel energy sources.

Minister Steve Thomson has announced a request for proposals from private parties interested in generating carbon credits through silviculture efforts.

Minister Thomson can you prove that carbon credits, or carbon tax amount to anything except a money grab. I suggest you look at this Montana court case. Have you any proof?

Who in the fiberal world will make money on this scam.

We have to grow more trees so that some corporation can make a profit on thier harvest.
Cheers

I wonder how much money seamutt is collecting from the anti-CO2 lobby. ;-)
