holistic land management is the only practical solution to climate change, and we have the capability to sequester all manmade carbon emissions.

We must reduce emissions, regardless of the capacity for soil carbon sequestration.

So limiting emissions would be made moot because of the approach that you are talking about, correct?

existing policies, grazing policies, regulations actually make the situation worse, rather than better.

Well, in tough economic times I am for cost--pay-as-you-go and cost recovery.

Do you believe that we should take steps to mitigate the impacts of manmade greenhouse gas emissions, for instance?

talking about carbon sequestration on public lands sidelines the issue of excessively low grazing fees on public rangelands.

Does grazing impact water resources?

Holistic approaches to land management require the identification, apriori, of management objectives and both proactive and adaptive management over time to meet those objectives.
