improve the Draft 2022 Scoping
Plan Update. Scientists have increasingly raised the alarm that
this decade is our last chance to make significant and meaningful
changes in our transportation, energy, building, and other major
infrastructure to prevent an irreversible climate catastrophe,
which is why I am disappointed that the Draft Scoping Plan fails to
accelerate the targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 40%
below 1990 levels by 2030 or to achieve carbon neutrality no
earlier than 2045. It is simply not good enough to meet the urgency
of the climate crisis and the desperate need for bold actions. CARB
must achieve a more ambitious Scoping Plan that leads to an
accelerated pathway to carbon neutrality so that the state’s
40 million residents and future generations of Californians can
live in and thrive in a cleaner and healthier
environment.
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.

COMMENT















Time is of the essence, Tammy.
We are in the final few years that remain to tackle the climate
crisis and create a more just and vibrant future for
California. 
Because it’s a
wide-ranging, multi-agency effort that touches all sectors of the
state’s economy and that agencies and legislators alike
follow, the Scoping Plan is a critical
document for California to make significant and meaningful changes
in order to combat the climate crisis.
Right now, there are only a few
hundred public comments up on CARB’s
website from all of California. That
means they read and value every single public comment — and
that also means we can easily double that total!
With the deadline for public
comments coming up THIS FRIDAY, June 24, get yours in TODAY so the
state knows where you stand on achieving carbon neutrality and
solving the climate crisis.
Thanks for taking action on this
critical issue.
