| Comment | Dear CARB Members, I am proud to live in California where we're leading the country in climate action. However, major flaws in the cap and trade mechanism threaten our leadership and our capacity to truly reduce state greenhouse gases in a meaningful way. The "trade" aspect allows big polluters to continue polluting, often in hard hit communities already burdened by air pollution and other environmental hazards. It is the responsibility and ethical imperative of elected officials to protect the most vulnerable of their constituents. Moving forward with cap and trade betrays that responsibility. Please instead consider implementing a carbon tax, which could bring the same GHG savings without the social costs. Thanks for all your work. Best regards, Debra Berliner |
