Excuse me, Chair, as a visitor to the committee, I understood that one of my jobs was to be part of what I understood to be a serious discussion on the motion. If this is going to be a serious discussion, we have to talk about the role carbon plays in agriculture right across the piece, all the other greenhouse gases associated with agriculture, and how agriculture is also a solution to all of that. Either we are going to have a serious discussion about this or we're not. Otherwise, it just looks like a rhetorical gesture, which means nothing.
