To whom it may concern:

Without getting into a massive display of science, I think it will
suffice to say that the much of the scientific research says our
planet must be under certain benchmarks of emissions before
specific changes in the state of the planet occur in order for the
survival of much of the life on the planet. 

With that in mind, I believe it's necessary for your cap benchmarks
to be reduced even further, while the dates for these caps to be
met be made even earlier. My opinion speaks for the large majority
of caps and dates world wide. 

Secondly, I believe the earlier we make the dates for meeting
benchmarks of emissions and the earlier we start creating jobs with
that goal in mind the better. We are currently in a global economic
depression, and only by taking immediate action do we give the
citizens of our country and of our world the ability to rise up out
of this recession. 

I say therefore that in order to steer clear of environmental
catastrophe as well as economic catastrophe, these caps and dates
written into the capandtrade10 should be reduced and brought closer
to present time, respectively.

Thank you very much for the chance to comment, and I hope you make
the right decision based on ethics, survival, and progress rather
than monetary greed.

Sincerely,

David Jacobson-Fried
