It is hard to believe any local helped <br /> design this plan. <br /> Here are some concerns: <br /> • There is a huge part of the plan dedicated to "Climate Change". However, why do most <br /> experts state there is NO climate danger? Climate Experts Speak Out Against Climate <br /> Danger Click Here! <br /> • The word "Stakeholder," defined in the plan, is written 86 times and literally means anyone in <br /> the entire world can have input on this plan. <br /> • Please recommend Stakeholder change to the following: "Local Communities". Local <br /> Communities are local Big Island farmers, homeowners, renters, organizations, businesses, <br /> and individuals who live on Big Island or have property on Big Island that will be personally <br /> affected by projects, decisions, or activities in the general plan. Effective local community <br /> engagement and management are crucial for the success and sustainability of any initiative, <br /> as it helps ensure that diverse perspectives and interests are considered. <br /> • The OSCER Department in the plan will null and void all public input and leave decisions to <br /> unelected officials. This is NOT okay! This department should not be created. This is on page <br /> 188, 40.8. <br /> • The Planning Department has sent out letters too many homeowners telling them their land <br /> use will be changed from resident to recreation due to the General Plan 2045. This will <br /> drastically lower their property value and opens the door to rezone the area. This is not <br /> pono. It breaks the Aloha Spirit law§ 5-7.5. To reduce someone's property value is not okay. <br /> This must be made pono again. <br /> • There is a huge section on climate change and things that will be affected. This needs to be <br /> further researched. There are over 1900 credentialed scientist that say there is no climate <br /> danger. Here is the pdf showing the scientist and what country they are from. <br /> https://clintel.ora/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/WCD-241023.pdf John Coleman, the first <br /> weather man for Good Morning America and the Founder of the Weather Channel has gone <br /> on CNN and other media outlets stating, "There is no climate danger". He explain the reason <br />
