Global Climate Change

Date: 7/07
Position Number: V-A-2
Expires: 3/08

Resolution/Position:

1. The administration must address technical issues specific to agriculture including treaty implementation, emissions credits, consumer costs and potential economic benefits and require meaningful participation by all nations in any global climate treaty submitted to the United States Senate for ratification.
2. Support the concept of carbon credit trading through sound agronomic practices, such as conservation tillage, which leave carbon in the soil. The NCGA should explore economic opportunities of trading credits.
3. We encourage NCGA to be prepared for the introduction of climate change legislation and be actively engaged in the environmental legislative process.
