You do realize the "global warming" is classed by the conservatives in the
US Congress as a "liberal" term.   But then it's OK in Canada since Liberals
are conservative in Canada?    How does that go?     Redefine it and you can
do business with anyone?

And the one thing I forgot to add was that when this system increases the
rate of carbon decomposition, the lack of carbon in the soils will reduce
plant growth (lack of fungal symbionts sp.?) and world wide food production
will fall off the cliff. Looks like the Armageddonists will get their show a
little sooner.

So, other than the build-up of salts in the Canadian and American grain
belts from over use of fertilizers, pesticides and irrigation (accumulation
of salts in the lowered water table) thus speeding toward desertification,
we have the added contribution of faster degradation of the soils by
bacterial digestion. It was always like pushing a boulder up hill to get the
farmers in S. Ontario to add more green manure to their fields for healthier
soils and better returns and  (even more so in the Mid west - I heard). So,
I guess this can now be used by the oil and chemical industries to tell the
farmers not to do that. It will only speed up global climate change. O,
wait. Aren't they some of the biggest deniers of global warming???
