There is a new government proposal that Glenn believes is "horrifying." The SEC proposal would allow for the creation of a new type of company called a "natural asset company," which could buy up land to use natural processes — like the generation of fresh air — to write off carbon emissions. Utah Treasurer Marlo Oaks joins to explain what he believes this would mean: "It will permanently stop economically essential activities like grazing, mineral extraction, modern agriculture ... we're basically talking about the destruction of rural America."

This means that a company could buy any national park, any state park, any private land to offset carbon emissions. The land would become essentially locked up for only that use and no other. Goodbye farming, goodbye weekends spent camping, hiking, any land use at all. This piece of insanity has no business being listed on the Stock Exchange, yet is being fast-tracked. Goodbye freedom, hello serfdom.
