I am writing
to urge you to strengthen and improve the Draft 2022 Scoping Plan
Update. Scientists have increasingly raised the alarm that this
decade is our last chance to make significant and meaningful
changes in our transportation, energy, building, and other major
infrastructure to prevent an irreversible climate catastrophe,
which is why I am disappointed that the Draft Scoping Plan fails to
accelerate the targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 40%
below 1990 levels by 2030 or to achieve carbon neutrality no
earlier than 2045. It is simply not good enough to meet the urgency
of the climate crisis and the desperate need for bold actions. CARB
must achieve a more ambitious Scoping Plan that leads to an
accelerated pathway to carbon neutrality so that the state’s
40 million residents and future generations of Californians can
live in and thrive in a cleaner and healthier
environment.
PLEASE-we need to act fast and diligently! We are doing
irreparable damage everyday. It's time for human beings to change
course, and check the greed!
Listen to your heart,
Maryfrances Careccia
