	We urge the CA Air Resources Board (CARB) revoke its “Forest
Project Protocol,” and to flatly reject any such “forestry
protocols” that shamefully give carbon credits for clearcutting and
other destructive forest practices on forest lands.  Not only is
this a disgraceful ploy but worse, it destroys any faith the public
may have had in trusting that officials would be making wise,
ethical decisions regarding air quality.  If the forestry protocols
are allowed to stand, CARB’s mandated processes will be viewed as
just more shell games.
	“Cap and Trade” may or may not be legitimate, but that is not the
issue here.  In addition to lacking meaningful and
adequately-funded monitoring programs, as long as the forestry
protocols have no mandatory conservation easements in perpetuity,
then there are no guarantees for implantation over time. 
	Thank you for considering our views and voting to revoke.
