That is simply a proposal for a government program to reduce carbon in the agricultural sector. Has nothing to do with the proposed culling of the camels and horses. Reduction of gaseous emission that contribute to global warming would appear to be a perfectly reasonable idea.
It would appear that Australia has a significant camel problem and they are trying to do something about it. I would also note that there are purportedly a million camels in Australia. 10,000 will hardly make a dent.
lmao!
an article titled 'Australia releases rules for CO2 credits from culling camels" has nothing to do with culling camels in the name of carbon reduction?
how very odd
Killing camels to earn carbon credits might seem an extreme way to fight climate change, but the Australian government on Thursday issued detailed rules that will help investors do just that.
^has nothing to do with culling camels at the 'climate change' altar. only a silly person would make such a ludicrous leap of logic.
Camels in Australia are a non-native, invasive species that is harming other, native species, as well as impacting humans. No different from the pythons in Florida, the Asian carp in the Mississippi, the wild hogs in the south or feral horses in the west. If the numbers of these invasive species can be brought under control, they should. In many cases it's too late and we don't have a means of doing so.

There are two completely different proposals. One is a short term expediency to fix an immediate problem. The other is a proposal for the rules that might govern an attempt by corporations to lower emissions by eliminating feral animals.
Too bad the right is unable to follow simple discussions. Even when they introduced one of them.

as desperately as you try to separate these two things, you can't do it. even the bbc mentioned the camels' horrific methane producing capacity in their article about culling.

Same old right. Desperate and hopelessly wrong but trying to pin their shortcoming on the other side.
The article has a single small aside following the actual causal. to wit...
************************************
They can damage fences, farm equipment and settlements, and also drink water which is needed by people who live there.
They also emit methane, a greenhouse gas which contributes to climate change.
************************************
The current cull was made at the request of Aborigional elders in the remote parts of south Australia, who are sick of camels taking their and the native animals water.
The idea to obtain carbon credits for killing camels was put before the parliment of Australia by a private corporation in 2011 as part of a consultation process, in forming legislation.

Of course you can separate them, we as humans make conscious decisions that have indirect consequences for the climate every day.
If I told you of my decision to quit a full time office job and work part time from home, would you immediately think that I am doing so to reduce the carbon footprint I incur by not travelling to and from work everyday?
