It is hard to believe any local helped design this plan. Here are some concerns: • If you're serious about addressing a changing climate,you will BAN the two biggest polluters on the climate: the US military and private jet travel. Leave the taxpayer out of this grift by putting the onus where it belongs--on the actual polluters. • So-called "Stakeholders" are who collapsed the Soviet Union.

There are over 1900 credentialed scientist that say there is no climate danger. Here is the pdf showing the scientist and what country they are from.h!Ws://clintel.org/wl2- content/ul2loads/2024/10/WCD-241023.12df John Coleman,the first weather man for Good Morning America and the Founder of the Weather Channel has gone on CNN and other media outlets stating, "There is no climate danger". He explain the reason for this narrative is the investors,in renewable energy,want to make these changes. • Hilo is 22%of the island,but somehow does not have a Community Development Plan. This demonstrates the Mal-intent of this entire initiative on its face. Do better. • 1.13 under"Increase the biodiversity and resilience of native habitats" reads, "Incentivize private land management practices that protect and enhance natural resource values and, when
