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.

By adopting a strong plan to combat global warming in our state,
the California Air Resources Board 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 that contribute the
largest percentage of greenhouse gases in California. The plan
should include a much more aggressive statewide goal for reducing
vehicle trips and measures to promote progressive action by local
governments. The plan should also include a strong goal and
additional regulatory measures for reducing pollution from
industrial sources such as petroleum refineries and cement
manufacturing facilities.

In addition, the plan must demonstrate that the variety of
proposed measures will not only make rapid progress toward reducing
greenhouse gases, but will also provide local benefits to
vulnerable individuals and communities and assist with adaptation
to the negative effects of global warming.

Thank you for your consideration of my concerns to strengthen
these key strategies in the AB 32 draft scoping plan.
