I strongly urge the Draft 2022
Scoping Plan Update be strengthened to better reflect respect
the need loudly proclaimed by climatologists to keep the increase
in global temperature to 1.5 degrees at the end of the decade. The
urgency of the climate crisis and the desperate need for bold
actions calls for CARB to submit a most ambitious Scoping Plan to
combat the most catastrophic impacts of climate change in the
crucial years ahead. To wit, accelerate the phase-out oil and gas
extraction/refining; pursue robust public transportation access;
decarbonize buildings; and more. It requires the utmost vision and
conviction to provide the solutions needed to overcome the coming
crisis.
Keep in mind, that California has
always been a model for the nation.
Thank you for your
consideration,
Eloise Hamann
