I am writing to voice my opposition to the clearcutting provision
within the current Protocols under public review.

Inclusion of clearcutting as an ARB endorsed sequestration
technique completely undermines the value and credibility of the
Protocol program and of California’s Global Warming Solutions act
of 2006. Clearcutting is a flawed and destructive forest management
technique, with no potential for timely carbon sequestration. And,
as such, it will be a meaningless offset option that will misuse
funds that could go to true reductions of emissions through energy
efficiency programs and renewable energy development.

This measure would ostensibly subsidize clear cuts!
