I usually like Aggies, but I have to admit they come up with some harebrained schemes. It wasn’t enough that their football team had to fumble its way to embarrassment the other night against Georgia. Now I discover they’re trying to stop global warming by proposing to convert farmland to forests.
Yep. Well, I guess to them it makes sense. After all, their meteorology department (the only one in Texas that graduates weather warriors) is wholly in the bag with AGW. So it figures other Aggie researchers would be looking for solutions. But eliminating farmland? That seems a little extreme. The ag industry lobby apparently is not amused and has set Barry’s ag secretary to backfilling. He’ll turn this sucker around. You betcha.
















Wouldn’t this act involve getting read of the farmers first? Some of them armed and pissed off?
Oh gosh. I meant “rid”…
Dunno. Most of the “farmers” are the employees of Big Ag, which has amazing political clout. So I don’t expect to see any farms turned into forests anytime soon.
