Alvarez Comments on Support for Climate Action Plan Resolution

SAN DIEGO (September 22, 2014) Regarding the City Councils support for Councilmember
Alvarezs resolution for the City to develop and adopt a Climate Action Plan, which outlines
strategies to meet greenhouse gas reduction goals, Alvarez made the following statement:

I proposed this Council resolution because it is imperative that we, as a City, move forward
together to address climate change. Weve reached a tipping point on how climate change is
altering our environment, but weve also reached a tipping point where the public demands
action. The time for denial is over. This City Council stands strong in making San Diego a
leader in actively addressing this issue now and into the future.
