 My concerns are focused on methane emissions in California and the
rest of the world.  All anthropogenic sources of methane emissions
need to be drastically reduced as quickly as possible in order to
cut the current rate of short-term global warming.

While you create the SLCP Reduction Strategy, I would like you to
consider the following important areas:
1. Mandatory annual dairy manure and enteric fermentation methane
emissions reduction targets. I recommend the following mandatory
annual reduction targets be established: 25% by 2020, 50% by 2025,
and 75% by 2030.
2. Use a yr2013 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
20-year interval methane Global Warming Potential (GWP) constant
for all annual, short, and mid-term interval methane-to-CO2
equivalency conversion calculations.
3.Require the use of the most current IPCC 20-year interval methane
GWP constant in all of its various programs (cap and trade [c&t],
compliance offsets under c&t, greenhouse gas [GHG] inventories,
existing compliance offset protocols under c&t, future compliance
offset protocols that have been proposed for incorporation into
c&t, pollution permits, etc.) with regard to all annual, short, and
mid-term interval calculations, analyses, and emission values.
