Written on Anderson-based SPI sets aside 60,000 acres as forest carbon offset bank:

Hum.... so SPI has 60,000 acres of Giant Sequoias.. that is about 93 square miles.. Where have they been hiding them? or does "billionaire" Red Emmerson mean that they will clearcut another 60,000 of beautiful forest containing giant cedars, oaks, ponderosa, white fir and sugar pine to plant baby Sequoia. (They have been busy clearcutting 250 year old white fir and other species this year in the Sierra). So, I guess Red Emmerson (who doesn't even believe in climate change) has figured the ultimate Bernie Madoff type scam - only this one affects us all in that it scams climate change efforts. Did the author of this article just get the quotes all wrong or has Mark Pawlicki - a registered forester - deliberately mislead us into thinking they are going to "protect" some large "Giant Sequoias"? Meanwhile they have plans to clearcut right up to 200 feet of Big Trees State Park where some of the few remaining true Giants remain. Shame.
