Comment | To whom it may concern: Without getting into a massive display of science, I think it will suffice to say that the much of the scientific research says our planet must be under certain benchmarks of emissions before specific changes in the state of the planet occur in order for the survival of much of the life on the planet. With that in mind, I believe it's necessary for your cap benchmarks to be reduced even further, while the dates for these caps to be met be made even earlier. My opinion speaks for the large majority of caps and dates world wide. Secondly, I believe the earlier we make the dates for meeting benchmarks of emissions and the earlier we start creating jobs with that goal in mind the better. We are currently in a global economic depression, and only by taking immediate action do we give the citizens of our country and of our world the ability to rise up out of this recession. I say therefore that in order to steer clear of environmental catastrophe as well as economic catastrophe, these caps and dates written into the capandtrade10 should be reduced and brought closer to present time, respectively. Thank you very much for the chance to comment, and I hope you make the right decision based on ethics, survival, and progress rather than monetary greed. Sincerely, David Jacobson-Fried |
