Cap n Trade is beset with unintended consequences, but the one I
object to in this proposal is the inclusion of forest management
practices that defeat the purpose of reducing carbon emissions,
while increasing erosion, soil & watershed degradation, and
poisoning of receiving waters by herbicides and their toxic
breakdown products.

If forestry is included as offsets, then it should be good forestry
that avoids clearcutting or its equivalents, and disallows
herbicide use which de-vegetates landscapes, simplifies biologic
diversity, and poisons wildlife, including salmonids.
