California may be known as a climate leader, but when it comes to legislation to cut pollution and phase out fossil fuels, state lawmakers are largely resting on their laurels.
The state’s greenhouse gas reduction goals, once heralded as pioneering and ambitious, now lag other states and countries. California isn’t on track to meet even those outdated targets. And it’s been years since lawmakers have enacted major climate legislation on par with the landmark SB 32 in 2016.
Setting a legal requirement to slash climate emissions by 55% by 2030 would help reestablish California as a global climate leader, in line with the ambitions of the European Union. Lawmakers can also do better than Newsom’s proposal for 3,200-foot drilling setbacks, which bans only new wells, and require a phaseout of existing oil and gas operations near homes and schools.
Lawmakers need to take advantage of this rare opportunity and adopt the big, bold measures the governor has laid out. There might not be another chance to avert climate catastrophe and reduce suffering today and for future generations.

There is always 10 more years left, so there is no hurry.
California is a “climate leader?” WTF does that even mean? Why does anyone need a leader in a make believe fight?
The only thing I see CA leading in is perversion.
The European Union is a great role model...
Bwahahahahahaha.
More “Climate Catastrophe” BS!
FOLLOW THE MONEY! WHO GETS RICHER THE MORE THIS BS IS PUSHED AT US?
I wish for an alternate universe where the Lefties can have everything they want,,,except the ability to come back.
“ There might not be another chance to avert climate catastrophe and reduce suffering today and for future generations.”
Let me break that sentence down to what they really want to say but cannot. Time is NOW, chumps. Do it now or we will lose our only good chance at turning the USA commie because the current crop of dummies are starting to wise up to our grift. Hurry, hurry hurry dammit.
Arctic sea ice for August 20 2022 is the highest in 13 years.

Someone told me once that the definition of old is ten years older than you are. Seems that this saying has been adopted for catastrophic climate change too. Always “only ten years away”.
Isn’t the EU bringing coal plants back online? Didn’t they declare nuclear to be “green”? Even their politicians are stupid enough to shut off power as we come to the end of summer and begin to think about winter.....and it gets cold in winter.
There you go California. Double down on stupid while the the tax payers vote with their feet to get the heck away from you.
‘Instantly, it becomes a bogus “lesser men” extension of the #PGA.’
This applies to all women’s sports that allow these mentally disturbed men in.
They’re going for 55% by 2030? That’s not enough! Make it 135% or clearly everyone will perish in the extreme heat, or cold, or rain, or snow, or rising sea level or something super-bad!
Do it for the chilllrun!
We only have 8.3654 years left! The experts really mean it this time, follow the science. Those guys wear lab coat and glasses and use big words.

It means Ca is on pace to destroy there agricultural sector (except for the full light infantry division of heavily armed cartel members growing pot in its north), tax its citizens more, and lead the way in de-industrialization of the West.
Generally speaking.
The resulting earthquakes will result in massive reductions
in population, automobile traffic and industrial pollution.
This will reduce so-called 'climate change' not only in the US,
but worldwide.
Side benefits will be a great reduction in the amount of
California-based liberal-communist BS being infiltrated
into national politics, as well as no more left-leaning
Hollywood movies.
It's a Win-Win!

/sicko-sarcasm
Will the Left destroy the World by 2030 ? and if nothing happens will they shut up and go away, nope they’ll have another date for a new scam
California should be following china’s efforts and start seeding clouds for rain. Instead, they do nothing.
A state completely overrun by illegals, foreigners here by line-cutting measures, rabid leftists and the politicians they push and an elitist cult trying to shift the blame for real problems off on something that was never proven, nor ever will be.
“Setting a legal requirement to slash climate emissions by 55% by 2030 would help reestablish California as a global climate leader, in line with the ambitions of the European Union.”
How about we talk about the EU a bit, shall we?
What is Germany paying for electrical power these days? Answer: 60 cents per kwh (based on 50 cents wholesale).
In Texas that would take an average $250 summer electric bill for a house and increase it to nearly $1500.
NO THANKS!
There is NO climate emergency. We’ve been fed lies for 30 years.
