Subject | GWP of Short-Lived Pollutants |
Comment | Despite its long-standing leadership on climate, one important area where ARB's climate policies have lagged behind both US federal and global standards is in regard to its use of outdated GWP's for short-lived pollutants. Now, despite its proposed changes to update some of these GWP's, ARB will continue to be a laggard in this area, which is disappointing given the increasing importance scientists are placing on short-lived pollutants in the overall climate change picture. By the time ARB implements its proposed changes, the EPA and UNFCCC may well have moved to, at minimum, the AR5. It seems like ARB will always be out of lockstep with national and international reporting when that really shouldn’t be the case. California should continue to lead, not lag. Please consider using the most current GWPs going forward rather than continuing to lag behind the rest of the world in this important area. |
