I strongly urge the
California Air Resources Board to adopt a more ambitious plan on
how our state will combat the most catastrophic impacts of climate
change in the crucial years ahead. To accomplish this, CARB must
improve the Draft Scoping Plan by accelerating a phase-out of oil
and gas extraction and oil refining; not making any more investment
in fossil fuel infrastructure; eliminating or significantly
reducing our reliance on unproven and costly technologies to
prolong polluting fuel sources; pursuing more robust transportation
sector targets; and decarbonizing buildings. The escalating climate
crisis demands that CARB adopts a more ambitious Scoping Plan, one
with the vision and conviction to provide the solutions that are
needed to overcome the crisis that we face. Thank you for your
consideration.
