To help keep U.S. carbon permit prices stable, the Climate Action Partnership recommends creating a reserve of credits. These would be generated by projects that preserve tropical forests, which absorb CO2. The loss of rainforests contributes about 20 percent of global carbon-dioxide emissions, the largest source of greenhouse gases in the developing world.

And NOTHING about the loss of oceanic phytoplankton, which are FAR MORE responsible for CO2 sequestration than rain forest and has seen reductions of 30% in the oceans.

This tells me that they don't even truly understand the problem, let alone the solution.
