Sam the only problem with your scenario "in the grain industry" is that WE the farmer pays the trucking costs and WE the tax payer pays for the highway repairs.

Remember the trucking incentives that grain companies used to pass on from the multi car loading incentives? Oh ya they are being absorbed by the Co's now!

Chinese farm model, 4 acres worked by hand would increase employment, be 100 times the cost for food but hey consumer pays or dies.

Farma,

From Wiki "Greenhouse gases are those that can absorb and emit infrared radiation,[1] but not radiation in or near the visible spectrum. In order, the most abundant greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are:

Water vapor (H2O)
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Methane (CH4)
Nitrous oxide (N2O)
Ozone (O3)
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)

Plants and animals would all die without these primary life building blocks.

All 'smoke and mirrors' This world is going to be swallowed up by the sun anyway... just as my favourite professor said!!!

Going back to prehuman settlement is impossible...

We can do the best possible to look after our planet... there is nothing wrong with this!!!

Are humans not a part of Nature and the natural environment? Who decided that?

Smoke and Mirrors!

Bucket, I agree it's horribly inefficient, 7 times as much fuel to move by truck than by train. But politicians need tax money and the only people who pay tax are those who work, well, of course there are others, but not as many.
