Comment: The ARB scoping plan needs... reduce ghg and maintain human health and happiness
Comment
Unite behind the ARB and encourage them to get going on reducing
greenhouse gases.
COP26 was a disappointment. I am sending five ideas to the ARB.
I would say all we need at this time is 5 trillion dollars per year
for ten years. We have a pretty good bunch of people at the ARB.
Lets encourage them.
"Scoping plan" means reduce greenhouse gases immediately and
taking care of human needs as we reduce vehicle miles and electric
utility kwh. And yeah... take care of people.
Here is my blog that has some of the ideas being sent to the ARB
Scoping comment.
Title: The ARB Scoping Plan Needs An All Out Effort
to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases and maintain human
health and happiness. Comment by Lee McKusick on
Draft Scoping Plan May 16, 2022 Addressed to the California
Air Resources Board Thank you California Air Resources
Board. About the
author. About 45 years ago Iwrote a study of
the Los Angeles Public Bus System titled“Busbook I”From 2008 to 2017 I continued my study of the bus system at
the bloghttps://lessco2essay.blogspot.com/. Starting in 2017 I write a
blog with the current entry as follows. https://www.lowco2america.com/2022/04/ten-year-all-out-effort.html Scoping Plan Comment by Lee
McKusick I remember peering inside an air pollution
monitoring station about 1954 that was located in a public park
near the Pasadena City Hall. I remember the back yard incinerator that
became unused about 1955. I remember being puzzled when second grade
classmates told me a joke “You see L A when the smog
lifts.”
So I say Thank You to the
California Air Resource Board for 68 years of clean air work. The global atmospheric fossil
fuel CO2 concentration, as of May 2022, exceeds 417 parts per
million. Eleven billion tons of CO2 has been added to the world’s atmosphere
per year over the last eleven years.i The scale of the
institutional response needs to aim for a reduction in emissions that is a proper
fraction, such as 1/3 or 1/5 or 1/10 per year. Dramatic change in the task a
government institution undertakes, such as a three or five fold increase
in the tons of fossil fuel CO2 not emitted means new problems, new process
bottlenecks and a great need to build understanding and rapport
with elected representatives. The 2022 Scoping Plan needs the Air Resources
Board to draft a joint declaration of urgency with other state
agencies.ii The 2022 Scoping Plan should
make contact withsocial groups
such as The Climate Mobilization athttps://www.theclimatemobilization.org/.The global warming gas problem is much
bigger than the staff of the Scoping Plan. The Scoping Plan staff should
establish communication with social groups because global warming
response is a human consent activity. We Need the Scoping Plan to
implement easy and popular resource reduction schemes. I remember the
electric car income capped rebates offered in about 2018. The scheme did not
work for me. Here is a retreaded scheme called “Save the American
public school system with electric cars and free solar charging array in the school
parking lot.”iii We need some of the scoping
plan schemes to be easy to copy and duplicate in other countries. In
particular, China and Russia are two countries that need successful GHG reduction
schemes. This means involve anthropologists, economists and students of
the cultures to make the scoping plan easy to imitate.
We need the scoping plan
schemes to focus on supporting individuals, families and community
cultures. The GHG reductions contemplated mean a substantial reduction of
vehicle miles and a substantial reduction in public utility kilowatt hours.
These are drastic social changes. Support means food, income, shelter, meaningful
work, artistic and athletic activity. The Scoping Plan needs to
implement multiple feedback paths of measuring greenhouse gases. We need to
collect satellite ghg data together with existing California instrumentation
network to produce daily greenhouse gas emission and movement. Bring the
efforts at GHG reduction under cybernetic control.iv The Scoping Plan needs a specific purpose
financial instrument of exchange. Most of the fossil fuel
burned in the air was paid for with some kind of money. Gasoline we might say
is never ‘free’. An example of a financial instrument of exchange is
the NEFFC which is a form of money exchanged for not emitting fossil fuel
CO2.v
