To: California Air Resources Board (CARB) public review
process of the 2022 California Climate Change Scoping Plan
I am a very concerned citizen about climate change plans and
urge CARB to restrict fossil fuel expansiion domestically and
globally. I also feel it is urgent to protect Amazon
Indigenous rights. Please rein in rogue refineries and commit
California to a policy/regulatory agenda that ensures that
California refinieries are not sourcing crude from regions where
there are Indigenous rights violations or from regions where NEW
oil drilling in the amazon is being planned. Don't punt your
climate impacts to communities in the Amazon. Please present
a plan for Callifornia to reduce and/or eliminate its consumption
of crude from the Amazon. And please commit California to new
fuel efficiency standards and expanded electrification of fleets
that consume the most Amazon oil Expansion of EVs broadly, and
public transportation goals to reduce domestic consumption
equivalent to Amazon oil import totals. I'm counting on you
to make the right choice to protect our climate, the Amazon and its
Indigenous people. Thank you, Nicolee McMahon
