COLUMBUS, Ohio – Increase no-till farming practices across the planet or face serious climate, soil quality and food production problems in the next 20 to 50 years. That warning from scientists appeared in the journal Science this week. No-till farming helps soil retain carbon. Healthy topsoil contains carbon-enriched humus – decaying organic matter that provides [...]

No-till fields store carbon in the form of soil organic matter, which can be sold by farmers, providing them with an additional source of income. As the United States looks to become more green, a program to trade carbon credits from farmland could play a role. When carbon is emitted into the atmosphere, by vehicles [...]

The EPA’s decision to regulate carbon emissions, made on the eve of the Copenhagen climate summit, immediately incurred the wrath of industry. Businesses are petrified, as Iain Murray writes in The National Review online, that the agency will regulate “everything larger than a Gore-sized mansion.” What are we to make of this fear? There’s really [...]
