I strongly urge the California Air Resources
Board to adopt a more ambitious plan on how our state will combat
the most catastrophic impacts of climate change in the crucial
years ahead. To accomplish this, CARB must improve the Draft
Scoping Plan by accelerating a phase-out of oil and gas extraction
and oil refining; not making any more investment in fossil fuel
infrastructure; eliminating or significantly reducing our reliance
on unproven and costly technologies to prolong polluting fuel
sources; pursuing more robust transportation sector targets; and
decarbonizing buildings. The escalating climate crisis demands that
CARB adopts a more ambitious Scoping Plan, one with the vision and
conviction to provide the solutions that are needed to overcome the
crisis that we face. Thank you for your consideration.
