Journet: HB 2020
would impede
climate-induced
catastrophes
state on a trajectory that
demands substantial emis-
sions reductions. The politi-
cal will to do what is needed
It was almost too much to
respond to.
A large part of Friday’s
Observer is regularly devot-
ed to religious messages and
schedules. That is where the
Easter ‘editorial’ belonged,
not on Wednesday’s Opin-
ion page. Religion is a belief,
not an opinion.
Bicyclists’ rolling stops
were declared “a bad idea.”
The article noted rolling
stops are legal in Idaho
and that accidents have not
increased. However, that
didn’t sway the author’s
opinion. Complete stops
while biking means putting
a foot on the ground, which
upsets balance and can re-
sult in a fall. All bike riders
To the Editor:
Anyone concerned about
addressing global warm-
ing with a comprehensive,
economy-wide greenhouse
gas emissions reduction
policy should support the
Oregon Legislature’s HB
2020 proposal establishing
the Oregon Climate Action
Program.
The Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change
underlined in 2018 that to
keep warming below 2.7
degrees Fahrenheit above
pre-industrial levels is criti-
cal. To do this, they also
pointed out, we need to
achieve a 45% reduction in
GHG emissions from 2010
levels by 2030 and net zero
emissions by 2050. This
means establishing a pro-
gram that initiates a steep
emissions decline, and do-
ing it now. Every year we
delay will require a steeper
trajectory and increase the
risk of social and economic
disruption.
In requiring at least a 45%
reduction by 2035 and at
least an 80% reduction by
2050, HB 2020 may not
quite meet the IPPC goals,
but it certainly places our

but as climate-induced ca-
tastrophes increase in fre-
quency, it will develop soon.
Southern Oregon Climate
Action Now supports HB
2020, so when that realiza-
tions arrives, we will need
only a minor adjustment,
not economy-wide disrup-
tion, to achieve the desired
trajectory.

McCracken: The
Observer needs to
be purchased by a
‘more professional’
media company
To the Editor:
It’s not often that the
entire Observer Opin-
ion page upsets me, but
Wednesday’s (April 17) did.
There were three columns:
“Easter — Think about it”
by syndicated columnist
Glenn Mollette; “HB 2656
would ‘shut down timber
industry,’” a guest editorial
from the News-Review; and
“Bicyclists’ rolling stops are
dangerous,” a guest edito-
rial from the Bend Bulletin.

complete stops. Using mo-
mentum is important when
biking.
Finally, HB 2656 is not
about closing down the
timber industry as that col-
umnist claims. Let’s reread
⑧➎⑩ ➑➍❶⑧ ❶⑩⑥⑧⑩⑥❹⑩ ⑦➒ ⑧➎⑩ ❶⑩❹ -
ond paragraph: “There’s no
doubt that protecting the
state’s drinking water is a
worthy endeavor, but...” This
is a perfect example of cor-
porate disregard for public
and ecological health when
are essential for vibrant,
connected, rural commu-
nities. Cherise Kaechele
made impressive changes
to The Observer, but she
recently left and it is now
spiraling downward. The
sooner Western Communi-
cations Inc. is written up in
media obituaries the better.
Hopefully our paper will be
purchased by a more profes-
sional, less biased company
with a strong rural focus.
