Gore Supports Farmers

A while back I wrote some comments on Al Gore that were completely tongue in cheek. Now I am going to make a comment on Al Gore that you can take seriously. Mr. Gore, perhaps for the first time, has actually offered up support for farmers and ranchers to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee when he listed solutions for global warming which included, “The addition of sinks from soils, principally from farmlands and grazing lands with appropriate methodologies and accounting. Farmers and ranchers in the U.S. and around the world need to know that they can be part of the solution.” Many were pleasantly surprised with Gore’s statement and have high hopes that Congress was listening. Exports on soil ecology insist that agriculture does have the capability to clean our world’s atmosphere of a very large portion of the carbon pollution created by mankind. Hopefully our nation’s policy-makers will take heed and realize that the solutions they seek to fight global warming are already in place; they’re called agriculture.
