From: L Pasco To: W PCtesti mono Subject: Big Island General Plain(GP 2045) Date: Wednesday, December 18,2024 1:54:29 PM WPC Testimony Normal human activity Climate Change Using man-made climate change as a justification for unleashing any proposed powers to government for general planning is making policy based on an opinion, not any scientific fact. To the contrary there is no proof that normal human activity is causing dangerously high levels of temperature increases that would warrant this kind of powers to be used in the general plan. *Exclude any references to normal human activity climate change. Geoengineering If this document were even-handed, it would also have a section on geo-engineering, which is scientifically proven to effect weather. Aerial activities that influence weather have been ongoing for many decades. What effects do these human activities have on the climate? *Geoengineering should be included in the plan. Societal Controls There is the assumption that it is necessary to confine and control societal development by limiting activities to what is and will be considered acceptable development such as where to develop, where to farm, where people can live, etc. What is the basis, and where is the discussion that these controls are needed, warranted, wanted or legal? Where is the ideal, model development example in real life Hawaii that demonstrates that any of these "development" ideas actually result in whatever is to be achieved? *Eliminate social control planning until these important questions are expounded on in writing in the plan. Electric vehicles *Do not encourage or require electric vehicles to be used on the island. Rezoning *Do not rezone any more land for Conservation or Recreation. *Do not rezone any land to Rural. *Do not rezone Residential land to Rural. *Do not rezone any more land to the State government.
