L.A.'s Thin But Bold Climate Plan

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's plan for tackling greenhouse gas emissions from the nation's second largest city is bold - calling for a 35 percent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions from 1990 levels by 2030. But according to an analysis by the Los Angeles Times, it puts a heavy emphasis on as-yet undeveloped technology, and it doesn't doesn't put much emphasis on politically-fraught calls for personal change. Villaraigosa is in New York for the C40 Large Cities Climate Summit, where world leaders have gathered to share solutions for tackling global warming, according to a May 15 story in the Los Angeles Times.
