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.
