As someone living with asthma, 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.
