I urge the CARB Board to adopt a strong global warming scoping plan
for California to both slow global warming and achieve immediate
reductions in smog and other dangerous air pollutants that cause
illness and death.  I am the parent of TWO ASTHMATIC CHILDREN; a
plan such as this will help them and many others. A strong plan
will set the standard for national and international action.  I
also urge the state air board to include a stronger focus on
measures to reduce emissions from driving which contribute both the
largest percentage of greenhouse gases and dangerous air pollutants
in California.  Therefore, the plan should include a much more
aggressive statewide goal for reducing vehicle trips and measures
to promote progressive action by local governments.  To reach the
state's targets for greenhouse gas reduction targets, the plan
should additionally include a strong goal and additional regulatory
measures for reducing pollution from industrial sources such as
petroleum refineries and cement manufacturing facilities. It is
also critical that any measures taken to reduce greenhouse gases
contain do not increase hot spots of pollution  in communities
already impacted by multiple sources of pollution.
