In September, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) announced it had developed a new asset class and listing vehicle aimed at “preserving and restoring the natural assets that ultimately underlie the ability for there to be life on Earth.” The vehicle, known as a natural asset company, or NAC, will enable the formation of specialized firms “that own the rights to the ecosystem services produced on a certain piece of land, such as carbon sequestration or clean water.” The natural assets that these NACs commodify will subsequently be maintained, managed, and grown by them.
‘Maintained, managed, and grown’ — to suit the UN’s nonsensical definition of “sustainable,” of course. And since this globalist Marxist organization has always pushed for fewer people on the planet rather than more, because fewer are ‘more sustainable,’ then you can surely guess what this kind of ‘land and food production management’ will look like: Less is more.
And in case you may have thought that this is all just talk, Webb notes that the purchase of land for the stated purpose has already begun in the United States.

Bad news for freedom, good news for small farms. Already locally the price of food has helped local farmers increase profits or at least become viable.
Pretty funny
Probably, they will just cover the land with solar cells and windmills.
Er, buying land is not “seizing” it.
Well, there IS a difference between buying farmland and seizing it.
While I don’t disagree with the plot to do this for the stated reasons, lets not get carried away with the clickbait words like ‘seizing’....
Yet, anyway. That time may be coming soon, but it will start a shooting war. And those blue UN helmets make a mighty nice target.
As long as there is a chance to lock in low fuel and fertilizer prices per year farming is a profitable and the granddaddy of green industry. Seed and Implement costs have been extrema but those are historically set by the pricing of the previous years crops. The rest is very low speed gambling and market watching.
So many government actions, under various disguises, seem to come together with the ultimate effect of reducing population.
Beat me by 8 seconds!
Basically it’s Collective Farms.
Will they be seizing all the farmland Bill Gates acquired with the dollars rolled off the printing presses by the Fed?
Wonder if anyone figured out this leads to 3rd world having less choice in feeding people? All the critisim as ethonol as transport fuels is present in taking productive farmland off the market. Lets be real, marginal farm land in this market will be sold off to the newest sucker traveling the plains in search of green money.
Is the plan to limit food and only keep certain folks alive? Im sure that will be well received by all.
Used to be you could drain a wet patch in a field that had grown up in trees and clear it if it had old pre-existing drain tile through it
10 years or so ago, they changed that and took prime farmland with junk trees off the table
Just another part of the Great Reset. The rich are going to divvy up all the natural resources of the planet and they hope to be leaving the planet before it’s totally ruined. The trans-humanism movement is all about going beyond the natural biological limits of being human. They plan to meld with machine and AI to live longer, think faster and handle long distance space travel.
If it’s the UN helmet wearers, they may also be too distracted by the possibility of meeting underage girls to pay attention to our moves. Advantage us.
Which is completely in conflict with the alternative energy crowd who are pushing to build wind and solar panel farms that consume vast amounts of land.
There is no dispute that fossil fuels contribute CO2 to the atmosphere and can influence climate. The tragedy is that the solution to this problem was laid out by President Eisenhower in the 1950’s and was known as “Atoms for Peace”. Until the 1970’s even groups like the Sierra Club and Greenpeace were big supporters.
Then people like Ralph Nader, Jane Fonda, Pat and Jerry Brown, and other anti-nuclear zealots began gaslighting the public about the dangers of nuclear power which they intentionally conflated with nuclear weapons. Much of this propaganda was cynically funded by the large fossil fuel companies who were the largest contributors to the “conservation” groups opposed to nuclear. Fossil fuel pollution has killed millions while 60 years of nuclear power have killed about 100 around the world from accidents and radiation including Chernobyl.
Wind and solar are too dilute and unreliable as sources to make a dent in the fossil fuel industry. This is why the companies pretend to back them knowing that they are doomed as competitors. Nuclear produces a tiny amount of waste with no CO2 for the energy created compared to all other chemical sources.
Ain't democrats special?
Collective farms? Yeah, sort of. When Bill Gates got started buying land it sounded like a throwback to share cropping. Somebody still has to farm it even if a city slicker owns it. And local governments still want their property taxes so laying fallow is not workable.
“ “It would be the largest carbon capture project in the world with the goal of sending 12 million tons of CO2 annually to western North Dakota, where it can be stored underground.”
How can someone with the resources to even begin such a project be so stupid the actually think of it in the first place? I just planted 133,000 pine trees. Each one is a C02 eating, oxygen producing factory. Where are my government climate credits?
