SubjectCap them, but don't trade our forests
Comment
The cap part of this program is a good strategy.  Industry should
be willingly doing everything possible to stop source pollution,
asap. 
Doing any type of clearcutting of our forests is a bad strategy.
Californians and the biodiversity that lives in natural forests
need uneven-management, and select cutting.  Forests are currently
being clearcut even without your c&t program. Of which itself is
controversial.  Are you intending to do more clearcutting than the
Board of Forestry is already allowing?  See satellite images of
what we have lost just in the last 10 years. Please don't let only
a market economy dictate how California faces climate change.
Please don't ignore the voices and the science of the people, for
example; clearcutting forests will not sequester more carbon. 
Clearcutting more forests will defiantly stress even more fragile
ecosystems across the state and drive to extinction species of
animals and plants that may have not even been identified.  You can
always take the cap off, you will never be able to put back the
natural forests.
Please no more clearcutting California's natural forests.
