I strongly urge you to vote NO on the Climate Action plan. Any plan that is 74 pages long could include many items which are detrimental to the health of the citizens of Encinitas.

From the staff report:
“the report is limited to tracking
implementation progress on the
measures outlines in the adopted
2020 Climate Action Plan."
The 2020 Climate Action Plan (although a
tremendous work well done) is already
outdated and should be scratched, except
for incentivized water saving devices.

There is no requirement by the state for
cities to have a CAP and other cities do not
have any.

Therefore I ask that you acknowledge the
report, but not approve.

A global network of over 2,000 scientists
and professionals has prepared this
urgent message:

Climate science should be
less political,
while climate policies should
be more scientific

“The most recent example came in California,
where Tom Steyer, a champion of fighting
global warming, was edged out of this month’s
gubernatorial primary by Xavier Becerra.

Mr. Becerra, a moderate Democrat, questioned
the state’s most stringent climate goals,
like ending sales of new gasoline-powered
cars by 2035, and received donations from
oil and gas companies.

Senator Ruben Gallego of Arizona said
recently he and many others {Democrats}
aren’t discussing climate change during
the midterm election season because “we
want to win.”
Across the Northeast, Democratic governors
have started to consider gas pipeline
expansions
A recent Economist/YouGov Poll showed
that just 5 percent of Americans say
climate change is their top voting issue.

By contrast, 29 percent say their top
priority is inflation and prices, and
13 percent cite jobs and the
economy.”
Democrats and environmentalists
are shifting their approach to
climate change, as the economic
fallout from war in the
Middle East has reshuffled the
politics of energy.”
So instead of spending all this time and
money on “Net Zero”, let’s spend some time
and money on Victory Gardens!
(Not Victory of War, but Victory of Self
Sufficiency)
Which will most likely be needed in the not
so distant future! And those gardens will
need their plant food: CO2

And please no more money to
consultants pushing UN Agenda 2030
Let’s reclaim our local sovereignty!
Thank you for your thoughtful
consideration.
