The offset created is allowed to ignore any annual variations caused by climate wind etc.<br /> The net-net system requires complete accounting measuring and auditing of all greenhouse gas production or sequestration.<br /> <br />Naturally agriculture (except for new forestry) is in the net-net system and soil sequestration is not counted. Forestry, wind farms, methane capture from rubbish tips is in the the generous gross-net system.<br />Food for thought.<br /><br /> You also might have a look at a book just published by Ian Plimer "heaven+earth Global Warming the Missing Science" 3 reprints in a month a very popular book in China. <br /><br />WayneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
