Global warming poses an unparalleled threat to America's national security, the economy as well as our wellbeing and the health of the natural environment. Nearly 20% of annual greenhouse gas emissions come from deforestation, primarily from tropical deforestation in developing countries. Currently, the world is losing native forest at the rate of a New York State per year. The United States must play a leading role in addressing this issue as we move toward comprehensive climate legislation. Please urge your members of Congress to support H.R.1790, the Forest Carbon Emissions Reduction Act, and to ensure the overall environmental integrity of a global cap on emissions while saving the amazing biodiversity in the rainforests.
