USDA addresses climate change
USDA announced new incentives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase carbon sequestration and increase renewable energy. USDA will utilize existing programs and initiatives to focus on soil health, nutrient management and forest conservation. The department will also improve efforts to develop renewable energy, increase energy efficiency and build agricultural and forestry systems.
“In order to address climate change we have to get ahead of it, and no one, no one innovates better, responds to a challenge better than the folks that live, work, and raise their families in rural America.”
USDA Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack says climate change is disruptive to agriculture and likely to increase.
“Drought alone is estimated to cost this country $50 billion between 2011 and 2013, and that is a figure that is only going to increase as we deal with prolonged droughts in California and elsewhere.”
USDA plans to leverage resources and partnerships to reduce emissions by 120 million metric tons of CO2, about two percent of U.S. emissions by 2025.

Great comment above, it should be called climate control, US gov. and its allies want to have total weather control by 2025, so they are spraying chemicals in the air 24/7 and blaming it on us, or fossil fuels, its called geoengineering, look it up monsanto is not helping either! I have seen planes flying over me all week leaving chem trails, very sad!
