Time is of the essence. I urge you to
strenthen the Draft 2022 Scoping Plan. You must know how critical
this decade is in making significant progress in reduction of
greenhouse gas emissions via transportation, energy, and buildings.
We can only prevent an irreverible climate catastrophe if you sieze
this moment to take bold steps.
The Scoping plan in its current draft
will not accelerate GHG emission targets to 40% below 1990 levels
by 2030 or achieve carbon neutrality earlier than 2045. It is
simply not good enough. CARB must delive a more ambitious Scoping
Plan if we are to achieve a safe climate
future for California. You must:
accelerate the phase-out of oil and gase extraction and oil
refining
stop
making any more investments in fossil fuel infrastruction
pursue
more robust transoprtation sector targets and decarbonization of
buildings.
Thank you for your
consideration and hopefully, your bold leadership.
