Many current and proposed forest management actions in the U.S. are not consistent with climate goals. Preserving 30-50% of lands for their carbon, biodiversity, and water is feasible and necessary.

Wood emits more CO2 per kilowatt-hour than coal, and forest regrowth takes decades to a century or more – time we do not have to cut emissions enough to avoid the worst harms from climate change.

Incentivizing early retirement of gas-powered vehicles with a cash incentive can accelerate U.S. vehicle fleet electrification and achieve greater emissions reduction at a reasonable cost.
