Dear CA ARB,

I urge the CARB Board to adopt a strong global warming scoping
plan for California to both slow global warming and achieve
immediate reductions in smog and other dangerous air pollutants
that cause illness and death.  A strong plan will set the standard
for national and international action.  I also urge the state air
board to include a stronger focus on measures to reduce emissions
from driving which contribute both the largest percentage of
greenhouse gases and dangerous air pollutants in California. 
Therefore, the plan should include a much more aggressive statewide
goal for reducing vehicle trips and measures to promote progressive
action by local governments.  To reach the state's targets for
greenhouse gas reduction targets, the plan should additionally
include a strong goal and additional regulatory measures for
reducing pollution from industrial sources such as petroleum
refineries and cement manufacturing facilities. It is also critical
that any measures taken to reduce greenhouse gases contain do not
increase hot spots of pollution  in communities already impacted by
multiple sources of pollution.

Thank you for your thoughtful consideration.

Shelly Brantley
