| Comment | CARB has occasionally been statesmanlike in its courage and
farsightedness when combating greenhouse gas emissions in our
state.
Now is the time to be statesmanlike again.
There is very little time left. We all know the statistics about
the costs of sea level rise and the lives that are, and will be,
lost because of pollution. Those lives now include whole species.
It will take courage and farsightedness to establish aggressive
greenhouse gas reduction goals which override the cries from the
lobbies with which we are all familiar.
But its their welfare versus the public's. And it is their
welfare versus the American public's, because our state has the
proud tradition of leading America in bravely establishing
necessary though controversial public policy.
Now is the time to demonstrate your statesmanship again--the time
to establish aggressive goals for greenhouse gas reduction in
California.
