From: laura gibbons To: Commission-Public-Records Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: Tuesday Port meeting testimony Date: Sunday, October 11, 2020 2:22:50 PM WARNING: External email. Links or attachments may be unsafe. Here is a written version of what I plan to say Tuesday (more or less): Commissioners, I am Laura Gibbons, a Seattle resident, and a volunteer member of the Aviation Team of 350 Seattle, a group that works for climate justice. I looked over the materials provided for your Aviation Study Session this morning, and noted how carefully you are adjusting projected air travel based on possible COVID scenarios. I urge you to think as carefully about the impending climate chaos, and to make another set of plans, plans that would entail a reduction in flying. Air travel is the largest use of fossil fuel that can't be replaced by clean energy before the 2050 deadline, and so there is no way to meet local or global targets for carbon emissions without a degrowth of aviation. 350 Seattle will keep trying to convince you to plan for the carbon-free future our world requires. There is growing awareness of the climate impact of flying among legislators and among the flying public themselves. Flying WILL decrease one way or another, so please start planning accordingly. Sincerely, Laura Gibbons On Saturday, October 10, 2020, 5:08:21 PM PDT, laura gibbonswrote: Hi, I would like to comment on the growth of aviation at the Port meeting that starts at noon this Thursday 10/13. thank you, Laura Gibbons, Seattle
