Climate scientists agree that reducing methane emissions is the most important short-term effort to limit global warming. With the passage of SB 1383 (Lara) in 2016, California has taken appropriate steps to significantly reduce methane and other short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) in California, as part of the state’s comprehensive climate policies. Climate-smart agricultural practices, including dairy methane reduction, are part of the solution. We urge you to continue the incentive-based approach currently being successfully employed by the California Air Resources Board.
