It was a good day for climate change advocacy on Wednesday when President Biden went all out on fighting climate change with many executive orders that will put his administration at the forefront of the battle. We can relax a little now, right? No, we can't. And here's why. This administration is a friend of the movement and will be a big mover while shaking up the status quo for sure. But as much as we need that friend, he and his administration are going to need us. They will require us to keep moving ahead to change hearts and minds into saving this planet. It will take an ambitious and well thought out turn around to stop destroying the earth and learn to live with it in harmony. It would be so much better to bring more of our fellow citizens of this world on board with the idea rather than have to pull them into a better future kicking and screaming. We don't have time to play a back-and-forth game with this thing. Executive orders are nice. Good legislation from Congress will be better and far more effective in giving us lasting solutions. There is only so much the President can do from his position. More will need to be done by Congress, and it will be up to us to move them in the right direction.

It does happen, America! There is an agreement in Washington over some things. This time it was for Agriculture, which is and always has been the backbone of our country. While many of us are heralding the ground temperature rising enough to plant those tomato and pepper starts, the seedlings of bipartisanship emerged in our Nation’s Capital. On April 20th, the Growing Climate Solutions Act (S.1251) was reintroduced. S.1251 is a bipartisan bill that will break down barriers for farmers and foresters interested in participating in carbon markets and reward them for climate-smart practices. Among the four introducing Senators and thirty-one cosponsors of both parties (including 1 Independent) is Arkansas Republican Senator John Boozman. I applaud his willingness to work in a bipartisan manner on climate solutions. I now urge Sen. Tom Cotton to support this vital bill.   Since its reintroduction, S.1251 has gone to the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry, in which Sen. B...

Regenerative Agriculture

I Posted on FaceBook, March 16, 2021 There will not be a Coffee and Climate Conversation with Cooper on Wednesday, March 17, 2021. I will be otherwise engaged in learning more about Regenerative Agriculture and such. I'm not a farmer, but I know that Agriculture is the only present greenhouse gas emitter that can turn that part of the equation from negative to positive. And you know what? The biggest thing I've learned so far is that for most of the time that the human race has farmed the ground and raised our own livestock, we have bucked nature and have been therefore ***ing in our own living room. Sorry, the thought came to my head and I can't find a better replacement. Ahh, but there is so much hope in Regenerative Agriculture. It has long been said, by many and far abroad (I was once told this by a young lady from Thailand) that farmers are the backbone of our world. They are not dumb people. They are not just the stereotyped people shown on the boob tube. There is a L...
