I am writing in support of the Advanced Clean Cars II
Regulations that would require all new cars sold in California to
be zero emissions by 2035. This regulation will not only help
California achieve its goal of cutting greenhouse gases in line
with the goals of the Paris treaty, but it will also mean cleaner
air and better health for all Californians. It's a win-win for our
state and the world.
California is already experiencing
the effects of climate change with longer and more severe droughts
and more severe wildfires. Scientists project that snow in the
Sierras, which is the water source for millions of Californians,
will decrease drastically over the coming decades if we don't act
now to curb our greenhouse gas emissions. We owe it to our children
and grandchildren to take action now to ensure the most livable
future for them.
I support this regulation and
hope CARB continues to take strong action for cleaner air and a
better future for all Californians.
Sincerely,
Lisa
