AgChat Tonight

Chuck Zimmerman

AgChatIt’s time for another AgChat and I’ll be your guest moderator this evening. AgChat takes place via Twitter from 7-9pm Central.

I’m choosing the topic of climate change since we just finished the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. If you’re an AgWired community regular you know I am more than a skeptic when it comes to man made climate change. I think there’s way too much disagreement in the scientific community to make any policy decisions on this issue. I’m all for doing what we can to be good stewards of our natural resources but I see this whole thing as a political power grab and social engineering experiment by people who wants things their way or no way. I think it’s immoral and criminal how many activist groups, politicians and others are employing scare tactics to feather their own nests. But, hey, that’s just my opinion.

I know you’ve got an opinion of your own and AgChat tonight will be an opportunity to present it and “chat” about it and how the issue affects farming and agriculture in general. Of course, what affects ag affects consumers so let’s keep that in mind.

There are a lot of different applications you can use to participate. Here are a few:

Twubs – Highly recommended. Just use your Twitter ID to login.
TweetChat – Usually works great for me.
Tweetie – For Mac or iPhone – My Twitter app of choice.
TweetDeck – Full featured for Mac/PC or iPhone.
Seesmic – For PC, Blackberry and Android.
Open Beak (formerly Twitterberry) – For Blackberry.
