Among the top Google News search results today for “climate change†is an article about an association of Alberta, Canada sugar beet growers searching for ways to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions. Very few ideas were reported. But take heart, Alberta sugar beet growers, your record recent crop yields are due in large part to more atmospheric carbon dioxide – no reductions needed.
The Northeast NOW article, titled “Alberta sugar beet growers scrutinize their products’ environmental stewardship,†says sugar beet growers in Alberta are scrutinizing the environmental impact of crop production in order to reduce their contribution to climate change. The most significant reported result was for farmers to leave their tractors idling less often. It may make economic sense for farmers to not leave tractors idling, but leaving a tractor idling does virtually nothing to increase global carbon dioxide levels.
