We
are running out of time on climate change. Our climate change plan
therefore needs to be much stronger if we are to afford a decent
future for our grandchildren. I urge you to strengthen and
improve the Draft 2022 Scoping Plan update. This decade represents
our last chance to make meaningful changes in transportation,
energy, building, and other major infrastructure. The current Draft
Scoping Plan compromises these changes to the level where
California will not do enough to prevent an irreversible climate
catastrophe. As a grandmother, I strongly urge you to do more. We
NEED to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030.
Please, for the sake of our children and grandchildren,
accelerate the phase-out of oil and gas extraction and oil
refining. Put an end to any additional investment in fossil fuel
infrastructure, redirect money that is targeted at prolonging
current fossile fuel sources into improvements in transportation
and building infrastructure that reduce, or better still, eliminate
the need for such fuels. We need a stronger, more ambitious scoping
plan if we are to ensure any kind of reasonable future for the next
generations. Thank you for your consideration.
