If you are questioning the assertion that we do, then I would think we are to take it you have data that says we do not. Please share I am sure the others on here would find it interesting.

Your thread title is about carbon then you start talking about nitrous? whatever to answer you question about prairie farmers and carbon.... who the **** cares its ****ing carbon and carbon is not a pollutant.

ps floating bare urea as a plan A is a really bad idea.

McFarms, i do not. And that's the problem. Many farm organizations have been repeating it over and over yet i fail to see solid evidence. Rather just opinions.

Show me how much a protilled and blackened seed master/hawk/conserva field is releasing/fixing compared to all the carbon released from fert, chemical, equipment, transportation, nitrous, mining, release etc.

A whole life cycle of all greenhouse gases in ag. Has this work been done? Some times a question is just a question.

bgmb as farmers I do think we sequester More Carbon ,
BUT I think we are putting way TOO much greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. In the form of nitrous oxide (which is way worse than co2)

Comprende ?

Kinda proves to me that the "carbon as a poison" cape is gonna get hard to wear.
Create an artificial market. Claim saint hood. Die by the sword when the "science" changes!
Ah, the fat nation luxury of farming fads!

No one is saying its poison. It climate change, not climate devastation. Some gases affect it more than others, like nitrous. Good for some, bad for others. But industrialization has doubled the carbon in the atmosphere during the industrial era to what it has ever been. And yes, it can be measured. And that can not be refuted.

The politics is in the shoulda woulda coulda and that's where it gets ugly.

Heard a a quick blurb on the news, so I googled what China does regarding spending on renewable energy. It took a minute You should do a little reading and you may see that China is in fact concerned about CO2 and air quality. Not hard to do


"China intends to spend more than $360 billion through 2020 on renewable power sources like solar and wind, the government’s energy agency said on Thursday."

"China blazed ahead of the rest of the world in terms of investment in renewable energy last year, spending a total of $103bn, or 36% of the world total."
