Stop Clearcutting California: Deforestation is one of the leading causes of Global Warming. California Department of Forestry (CDF) does NOT calculate carbon or other global warming emissions when reviewing clearcuts.

This oversight on the part of CDF, legislators, the governor and the attorney general is costing our children dearly. If California is to be a leader in fighting greenhouse gas emissions then this catastrophic oversight must be corrected.
