Comment:
I am very heartened by ARB's comprehensive and timely SLCP strategy and would like to see the following items included: 1) Use the IPCC's radiative forcing model to more accurately value SLCP emissions and potential mitigations. This model takes into account the effects of aerosols which are not accounted for in the Draft Strategy. See https://www.ipcc.ch/pdf/assessment-report/ar5/wg1/WG1AR5_Chapter08_FINAL.pdf 2)Insure that methane leaks from oil and gas extraction and pipeline leaks are completely and correctly accounted for. See http://news.cornell.edu/stories/2015/10/bridge-fuel-may-escalate-atmospheric-greenhouse-gas 3)As stated in the strategy, "State policy is most effective with the support...of local efforts." To achieve this, require that local jurisdictions update or create Climate Action Plans that include SLCP emissions inventories using the updated metrics and reduction goals. The Napa County Climate Action Plan is in the process of being developed and we are requesting that our county incorporate ARB's accounting metrics and goals. Thank you for your efforts in slowing global warming.
