WHEREAS CO2 is the building block of life and fuels. Photosynthesis CO2 is not a pollutant and to call it a pollutant is
disingenuous.

WHEREAS any policies that are designed to punish the critical natural CO2 cycle are not only illogical but dangerous to
the balance of natural food production.

WHEREAS Saskatchewan’s forests, grasslands and crop production zones rely on this critical CO2 but also sequesters
more CO2 than any illogically created CO2 Reduction Strategy.

WHEREAS policies that vilify CO2 are illogical and unpredictable and will undoubtedly create an uncertain amount of
negative impact to our existing crop production systems and economy.

BE IT RESOLVED that SARM will ensure that any policies that unduly target naturally occurring CO2 will be deemed as
illogical and dangerous. We move that Saskatchewan remove itself from any national or international agreements that
reference net zero.

Resolution Background:

Council wants to raise awareness of the unfair potential downfalls passed onto agricultural producers. This resolution
affects all agricultural producers in this province and country.
