Subject | Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction |
Comment | Thank your for the opportunity for comments. I recommend California take the lead in adopting scientific parameters for SLCPs rather than wait on the US EPA. Such action would direct attention to the 2 substances which would have the most immediate impact on slowing global warming. Enclosed is a recent presentation from the Global Methane Forum that was held at Georgetown University Conference Center. Methane and black carbon were identified as the two most important substances to reduce to have an effect in the next 20 years. The next 20 years are more important than the next 100. Sooner we mitigate climate damage the less impact we will suffer in outer years. We can still act to reduce CO2 as a long term strategy but we need to focus on short term impacts to buy us more time to adapt. |
