"Farm animals have zero net carbon
emissions" |

29 Jun 08 - The Carbon Sense Coalition today claimed that there was no justification whatsoever for including emissions from farm animals in any carbon emissions tax scheme. “Every intelligent farmer can understand the carbon food cycle whereby every bit of carbon dioxide released by farm animals or plants into the atmosphere has previously been removed from the same atmosphere,” said Carbon Sense president Mr. Viv Forbes. “Farm animals have ZERO NET CARBON EMISSIONS.” “Grazing animals have not yet learned to live on coal or diesel fuel, and they cannot create carbon out of rocks, soil or water. Therefore they must extract it, via grasses and grains, from that marvellous gas of life in our atmosphere, carbon dioxide. All foods and organic matter represent carbon that has been sequestered by life processes into living matter. The carbon is simply recycled at ZERO COST.” “Farm plants and animals are every bit as green as forests. Both farms and forests extract carbon from the air and store it in organic life forms until that organic matter is burnt or decays in the open air, thus returning their borrowed carbon to the atmospheric storehouse.” See entire press release
