    Oakland currently has no publicized goals for addressing Global Warming. Why? I applaud your efforts to sue the top 5 carbon dioxide polluters & the transportation transformation plan. However these actions are not a declaration of intent to solve the issues facing our city. Without a set of concrete goals you are sending the message Global Warming is not pressing. Nothing could be further from the truth. We need a plan NOW! Oakland is currently enjoying positive public opinion & we have a rare opportunity to be an example of positive ACTION.
    What are your plans to:
    1) Plant trees lost in drought, fire, removed & Improve our city’s canopy coverage?
    2) Reduce Emissions in the Port of Oakland & on our roads?
    3) Invest in clean energies-large solar installations & wind farms?
    4) Protect our shoreline from rising sea levels & the poor communities who will be displaced?
    I want to help. Call on your citizens to write a plan and publicize it.
