my conclusion, it's very hit and miss, there needs to a reliable form of measurement, and a time scale set for a 'period'.
Industry, will just want a bit of paper, that say's they have offset their carbon, they wont be interested in the finer details, they have 'done' it, repercussions will be the landowners problem, us.
The chances of us getting ripped off, are quite high, especially if no standard measurement, we could do a deal, and the measurements we used, could be replaced by something, that didn't recognise them.
We know exactly what will happen, a new section of land agents, will pop up, perhaps, with a different colour trousers, that will make a lot of commission, from us, by complicating the paperwork, to the n'th degree.
The plus side, it just might be, that in the 'rush' to achieve sequestration targets, both guv, and the greens, will not be to onerous in their interpretations, both wanting to be seen to be doing 'something'.
Those new land agents, could actually be useful, in so much as, we will be dealing with big businesses, whose ethics, will be completely different to ours, in a bad way.
But it is a new 'thing', and it will be clearer as time progresses, until a reliable, recognised measurement is produced, it will be a buggers muddle.
