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.

Sincerely,

Kimberly Weich
