Op/Ed: Response To Mr. Hanson’s Letter Addressing Draft Climate Action Plan
By SUE BARNS
Los Alamos
I have a few thoughts and clarifications regarding David E. Hanson’s Op/Ed of July 14 which addresses the draft Climate Action Plan (CAP) now open for public comment.
First off, I would like to clear up a misunderstanding of the emissions data that apparently caused Mr. Hanson to feel that the CAP is “misleading”. He states that “in 2022 the US emitted just 6,343 MTCO2”. In fact, US 2022 emissions were 6,343 *million* MTCO2. (MTCO2 stands for metric tons of CO2 [equivalents], not millions) [https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/inventory-us-greenhouse-gas-emissions-and-sinks Read More

By DAVID E. HANSON
Los Alamos
On July 9, 2024, the County Sustainability manager and Cascadia Consulting presented the Los Alamos Climate Action Plan (CAP) to the County Council. They are requesting community feedback and plan to present the final version of the plan in Sept. or Oct. for Council approval.

Except for Councilors (Randall) Ryti and (David) Reagor, who asked some critical Read More
