Subject | No clearcuts for carbon offsets |
Comment | First of all I believe the concept of carbon offsets are a capitulation to polluting industries allowing them to continue business as usual which exacerbates our human induced climate change challenge. To make things worse we have a lumber industry that seem to have succeeded in turning reality on it’s head. Deforestation is a major contributor to climate change. For the timber industry, Cal Fire, and Air Recourse Board to claim that clearcut logging is good for our climate is an excellent example of Orwelian news speak. It is a claim that suggests our state agencies put in place to protect citizens are in fact paid industry lobbyists doing the bidding of SPI and other large timber firms whose policy is “even age silviculture” (clear cut logging = deforestation.) |
