The Government wants to reduce the cost of measuring carbon in the soilJust as farmers are getting excited about the possibilities experts are questioning the effectiveness of the practice.
Angus Taylor wants to cut the cost by 90 per cent but soil carbon expert, Professor Budiman Minasny, said cutting it in half to about $50/hectare is more likely, well short of the $3/hectare target.Michael Crawford from the Cooperative Research Centre for High Performing Soils said the cost of measuring carbon is not the main issue.
John Connor is from industry group the Carbon Market Institute in western NSW, where 140 carbon farming projects are running. The Carbon Funding Initiative has been operating for eight years, paying farmers and other land managers to capture greenhouse gas emissions and store them in vegetation and soil, or to reduce emissions from livestock or savanna fires.
John Connor, the CEO of industry organisation the Carbon Market Institute, said there are 140 between Bourke and Cobar alone.

Yes it's called grass, grows just about everywhere these days:
What emission ? It's farming, done for donkey years. They have enough shit coming from government restrictions already.
If course not. This is clumate fakery trying to invent jobs for those whose livelihoods will be destroyed by the communist climate hoax madness.
If it means exactly what the words mean then the answer is no, it will make them worse.
I know, let's ask a scientist.
It’s not reducing emissions - just a clever way of sweeping them under the carpet. Every little bit helps but we should call a spade a spade.
It'll get rorted. It's the Australian way.
No
No. Only thing reducing emissions is government subsidies. No subsidies the green gay warriors will have to find another cause.
No
No, of course it doesn't reduce emissions. What an idiotic claim.
Communists always target agriculture first when they seize property. This is a part of the “farmers are evil” narrative that they have to seed in the people’s minds first.
these farmers say yes
And Bashar Al-Assad on the left?
Is that Elton John on the right?
I want to move to the country, buy some land and farm me some carbon....

Energy roadmap is devoid of any hope to return to a ‘rational energy system’ | Sky News AustraliaThere is nothing in the Morrison government’s new so-called ‘energy roadmap’ which offers any hope to return to a “rational energy system” focused on producing cheap and reliable energy, according to Peta Credlin.\n\nThe government has revealed a list of five new and emerging technologies it is planning to invest in as part of a roadmap to bring down emissions. \n\nThrough to 2030, the government said it would invest $18 billion in a bid to unlock further investment for the private sector totalling around $50 billion, and hoped to wipe out 250 million tonnes of emissions by 2040. \n\nThe five major investments included clean hydrogen, energy storage, green steel and aluminium, carbon capture and storage, and soil carbon projects.\n\n“The so-called road map is all about throwing money at emerging low emissions technologies that might – I repeat might – eventually work,” Ms Credlin said.\n\n“But in the meantime, relatively cheap 24\u002F7 coal-fired power is exiting the system, and being replaced by wind and solar that's only cheap when the wind blows and the sun shines.\n\n“There's nothing in the national energy road map released yesterday, that offers any real hope that we will get back to a rational energy system that's focused on producing affordable and reliable power, rather than on reducing emissions, any time soon.”\n\n ScottMorrisonMP Still no mention of nuclear PaulineHansonOz ScottMorrisonMP Who is Peta Credlin ScottMorrisonMP CCPvirus CCPLiedPeopleDied

China, the world's top global emitter, aims to go carbon-neutral by 2060Chinese President Xi Jinping says his country will aim to stop contributing to climate change by 2060 despite heavily relying on coal, one of the most carbon-intensive fossil fuels, for electricity. How would we know that it’s a fact! Trust Chinese govt to tell us that they are carbon neutral or they will let international monitors ( which they would never do it ) to certify that! Even it’s decades away! Article bought and paid for by the ccp Reuters China

'Defining moment' as China pledges to become carbon neutral before 2060Chinese President Xi Jinping vowed that the world's largest greenhouse gas polluter will peak emissions in 2030 and go carbon neutral by 2060, in what climate activists hailed as a major step forward. It's a big moment but it's still too little. China needs to peak emissions now. Globally ALL emissions need to come down this year and next and every year after until we are well into the negatives. I'll believe it when I see it Will go carbon neutral in 2060? Dude! That was needed last year.
