FCNL Coalition Letter Urging Senate to Limit Offsets in Climate Bill

Dear Chairman Boxer:

We respectfully ask you to limit total offsets in Senate climate and energy legislation to a constant 10 percent of the emissions cap. Although we believe that offsets should not be included in climate and energy legislation and recognize the particularly problematic nature of forest-based offsets, it is apparent that they will be a part of the bill emerging from your committee this fall.
