Section 339, page 1025, Within 1 year the EPA must give a report on the best methods for doing this. A quick Wiki look gives several options:<br> 1. Ocean iron fertilization - This technique is controversial due to difficulties of predicting its effect on the marine ecosystem, and the potential for side effects or large deviations <br> 2. Ocean urea fertilisation - (Don't fish already do this?) fertilize the ocean with urea to encourage phytoplankton growth.<br> 3. Forestry - Reforestation, but it doesn't stop there. It is essential to ensure that the carbon does not return to the atmosphere from burning or rotting when the trees die. To this end, it would be important to either manage such forests in perpetuity<br> 4. Agriculture - there are a few subcategories, but lets look at farmers. <br> - Using cover crops such as grasses and weeds as temporary cover between agricultural crops<br> - Concentrate livestock in small paddocks for short periods (days) so they graze lightly but evenly (no more free range?)<br> - Covering bare paddocks with hay or dead vegetation. This protects soil from the sun and allows the soil to hold more water and be more attractive to carbon-capturing microbes. (I can see regulations set forth that requires farmers to have no bare patches of land.)<br> <br> Then there are a lot of physical and chemical storage choices. Wouldn't it be interesting that all of this actually made a dent in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere? Guess what would happen? Suffocation of plant life. <br> <br> Oh, and yes, payments go into the STRATOSPHERIC OZONE AND CLIMATE PROTECTION FUND that can be used for multilateral (foreign country) payments that the US enters into including already any amendment to the Montreal Protocol on Substances That Deplete the Ozone Layer.<br> <br> It would be interesting when a business decides to sue based on making someone prove "Global Warming" which is mentioned throughout the report.
