| Comment | I wish to add my name to the list of commentators objecting to the
present rules for crediting, for cap and trade purposes, any forest
or forest practices in which clear cutting may take place.
While I personally believe that it is premature to place any
forests in cap and trade that are not legally bound to preserve
trees above some minimum (such as 15 inch dbh trees) permanently,
it is clearly in no one's public interest to place tree farming
forests into the cap and trade program, at least until such time as
undisputed scientfic data demonstrates that this type of forestry
produces on an immediate and permanent basis a net GHG reduction on
a per trade basis.
