The agriculture counselor to EPA administrator Lisa Jackson says new revenue streams for producers are among the various climate change legislation directions taking shape, although legislation is not likely to pass this year. Larry Elworth told Brownfield at the NAFB Convention last week that the impact of climate change on agriculture due to shifts in related weather conditions and the issue of energy independence are important considerations. And Elworth says that whether other countries address climate change should not be a factor in whether the United States does. “Those are things that in the United States we can continue to take leadership on, irrespective of what the rest of the world has done. The United States has taken leadership on economic development and on fighting terrorism – and all of those. Our responsibility and our opportunities to take action – and bring the rest of the world along with us in that situation – because of our leadership has been a key to our policies,” Elworth says. In less than a month international negotiators will be at the table in Copenhagen for UN-sponsored talks with a goal of reducing global greenhouse gas emissions. The Obama administration wanted climate change legislation passed in the U.S. before then. This week, Senate leadership announced that debate on climate change legislation this year is being crowded out by health care, financial regulation reform and other measures and likely won’t be taken up next year. The American Farm Bureau Federation and other ag groups applaud the decision.

Prof. Ove Hoegh-Guldberg on coral reefs.

Nick has written extensively on the notion of living off grid, that is how to disconnect yourself from energy and utility companies in order to make yourself self-sufficient and sustainable. Why would you want to do that you may ask? Well as climate change and energy resources such as oil continue to decline, the cost and availability of cheap energy will also decline. Currently our energy needs are being fulfilled by others, such as gas from Russia and Oil from all over the world putting the UK in a very precarious position in terms of energy. This means that new energy solutions will have to be found for the population of the UK. So how do people live off-grid, well there is no one way of doing this. Nick outlines a variety of ways that people are living off-grid in his book, from those who are living in forests and using a minimal amount of energy, to people who have developed complex technological systems to provide themselves with large amounts of energy, to those living in canal boats and storage containers. All of these people are finding ways to live off grid using a variety of methods such as solar power, water power, growing their own food in a drive to become self sufficient. Off grid communities are springing up everywhere and Nick has recently been travelling around the US talking to them. Nick also runs a website http://www.off-grid.net which has huge amounts of information on all aspects of living off grid. The option of living off grid has never been so important - with unemployment about to rise above 3 million (and real unemployment above 4.6 million), with the collpase of banks and companies and houses still out of reach of first time buyers, living off-grid maybe the only solution to survive in these austere times. Living off-grid is destined to become more and more part of public debate as time moves on and energy resources change, recently it has featured on the front cover of Wired magazine.

The cap and trade legislation has been put off until well after the Copenhagen summit in December. It s pushed into spring, 2010, if then.  If you want to read some better bills than cap and trade, which should be called Cap and RAID, you can check out all the other bills that intend to mitigate [...]
