Approved for use, but will farmers use it? What incentive do they have? Perhaps they should get 'methane credits', or 'methane fines'.

What incentive do they have? Perhaps they should get 'methane credits', or 'methane fines'.
- 14 5y agoProbably the same incentives as a farmer doing organic farming. If you can make a brand that is significantly more eco friendly that may be a selling point in itself. Then if it is significant in the amount of carbon it reduces some governments may start insisting it be used as part of their greenhouse gas reduction plan.

- jacknews 5y agoSorry but this is an argument from a lofty position. Much of the planet lives hand to mouth, and while they of course care about the state of planet in the relatively distant future, they care more that they or their progeny will actually get there at all.
- ben_w 5y ago> It’s really time to stop treating climate as something to profit from and start treating it as bare survival. While this is true, the scale and duration of the problem means we need the “right” choices to make short-economic sense at every level from individual farmers up to economic superpowers, and for that to be maintained. If the Nash equilibrium is bad, we get a tragedy of the commons.

- Zababa 5y agoHave you heard about the tragedy of commons? If there is no superior authority to enforce this, some people will want to get an advantage on other people by using more these resources.
