| Comment | Please watch Annie Leonard's "The Story of Cap and Trade" to learn
how irrational and irresponsible it is to regulate sustainability
using credit offsets. This action would let the biggest greenhouse
gas polluters (oil refineries, power plants and cement plants) buy
offsets in forests throughout the Sierra Nevada and elsewhere, from
timber operators that clearcut California's forests. None of the
international climate programs include clear cuts, so don't let the
timber harvesters set this awful precedent in California's new law.
We cannot clearcut our way out of climate change. Please take out
provisions that would include clear cuts in the kind of forest
projects that are eligible as offsets.
Thank you.
