Senate easily passes bipartisan climate bill incentivizing carbon offsets
Fox News
In a rare bipartisan move, the Senate voted 92-8 to pass a climate bill aimed at easing access for farmers to carbon markets so they can be incentivized for carbon offsetting processes.
The Growing Climate Solutions Act would create a new certification program at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) that would help farmers, ranchers and foresters make money by selling carbon credits in private sector programs, which they generate through cutting operations emissions or pulling more carbon dioxide from the air into the soil or plants. In a growing trend, many major corporations are looking to their environmental goals by purchasing carbon offsets.More Related News
