[QUOTE="farmerm, post: 6629763, member: 7195"] Carbon credits and carbon trading was invented purely to make the Rothschilds richier… The majority of UK farms are surely net CO2 emitters, particularly arable producers. Soil organic matter is generally in decline and most of the carbon that is locked up in biomass during the growing season is released again over the next year or 2 as crop are consumed and residues are broken down. How would a carbon credits scheme work in practice.. Ok say I move to direct drilling and over the first 5 years my organic matter test shows I have sequestered 1000T and I get a carbon credit payment but what happens if at year 10 my OM results comes back showing a decrease do I have to purchase carbon credits at the current market value?. it sounds like a dangerous game to me! What if I am Brazil and can see a global carbon payments market is just around the corner... why would I not decimate the rainforest in the short term so I can have the rest of the world pay vast carbon credits for rain forest restoration for at least the next few decades....
