Comment:
It is unconscionable to implement REDD (i.e., Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation) as part of the Cap-and-Trade regulation. Dubious at best and spurious at worse, to advance the continuation of carbon pollution with the slight of hand of good-practice-farming as an off-set is duplicitous and enabling of polluter indifference and insensitivity. Not to mention the cost to the environment and food supply by introducing GMO-altered plants. Contaminating the human food supply is not justified by fertilizer reproduction. Don't be dazzled by high-tech "solutions" suggested by the masters of deception like Monsanto. Common sense must rule over greed and slick and specious theorems based on self-interest research devoid of long-term proof of benefit against long-term detriment.
