Comment:
SLCP management can't be stressed enough in postponing the climate tipping point. The Climate Tracker Initiative estimated that in 2012, we had a carbon budget of 565GT before 2degC would be exceeded and that, with BAU emissions of 36GT, we have roughly 15 years before that average global temperature increase was exceeded. More importantly than legacy GHG is the need for immediate reductions of SLCPs such as methane and black carbon. Using a 20-year time horizon, they have CO2e of 84 and 3200, respectively. California absolutely needs to curtail these and rethink how we can best utilize our cap and trade treasury to fund elimination of these climate forcers. The enormity of climate disruption is upon us. We may no longer settle for half-way measures.
