Small forests a big help in curbing carbon

Thursday, January 7, 2010

Money quote: "[The Copenhagen] summit's forest initiatives provided little help to the more than 10 million people like me who manage family-owned forest land in the United States. Since such forests make up more than a third of all forests in the nation, they have the potential to play a huge -- and growing -- role in reducing carbon emissions. Any government action on climate change in this country needs to pay attention to them." -- Chuck Leavell, Rolling Stones keyboardist and forest landowner
