Subject | Greenhouse Gas Emissions Cap and Trade Program |
Comment | I strongly support the California Cap on Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Market-Based Regulations. It is a reasonable, market-based approach to controlling the increase in carbon dioxide and provides an example of leadership and problem solving for other states and the federal government. I am an environmental scientist with a great deal of experience in water quality and natural resource management in California and other west coast states, including Alaska. I have seen first hand the evidence for increasing effects of climate change on water supply and natural resources, and am increasingly concerned about the potentially drastic effects of ocean acidification on fisheries and other marine resources. Your decision in support of this program would be an important step toward developing pragmatic solutions to the CO2 problem that provide incentives for creative problem solving and that begin to bring this major externality into the market system. |
