Letter to the editor: Carbon fee, not tariff, is the way to reduce emissions
Share
As syndicated columnist Megan McArdle noted July 23 (“Carbon tariffs are not a real response to climate change,” Page A11), “Global warming is a genuine cost of emitting carbon … .” And lately, that’s a cost we’ve all been feeling. While Maine hasn’t experienced the incredible heat of the West Coast or the extreme flooding of Europe, our environment is still changing.
I grew up in the Lake Region school district, and I don’t remember summer temperatures of 90 degrees during my childhood. Back then, it also wasn’t a hardship not to have air conditioning in homes or cars.

The devastating impacts of climate change are on full display in Orange County as well as across the nation, and around the world. As sea levels rise, coastal communities are under threat. Sunset Beach and Newport Beach are experiencing more high tide flooding. Dana Point and San Clemente are watching cliff sides erode and beaches disappear. Inland, Irvine and Tustin are battling wildfires. All of us in Orange County are suffering from more frequent and intense heat waves. The need for action on climate has never seemed more urgent.

Yet action has nevertheless been impeded and delayed for decades by the influence of fossil fuel interests upon politicians and the media. Well-funded sophisticated campaigns have falsely denied the problem of climate change or fostered a sense of hopelessness about it. Finally

Tree planting is an obvious, inexpensive way to mitigate excessive carbon and heat. Yet San Diego’s accessory dwelling unit (ADU) and junior accessory dwelling unit (JADU) legislation directly contradicts its Climate Action Plan, significantly reducing the tree canopy; building to the property line, paving yards for parking, easily removes any vestige of green.
Here’s a prime opportunity to mandate trees rather than destroy the urban canopy. If climate action programs include ordinances requiring newly built homes to use electricity for cooking and heating as mentioned, how much cheaper and easier it would be to mandate all new housing include at least one tree on the property, better one tree per unit? This critical addition to the ADU ordinance would do much to combat climate change and nothing to reduce the amount of added housing provided.
