Opinion: A mandate from California to achieve full decarbonization
Countries across the world are coming together in Glasgow for COP26 to discuss how the world will address our climate crisis. …The time for action is now, and as the largest historical contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, the United States has a moral and practical responsibility to reach net zero emissions by or before 2050. … In California, we are facing a nearly year-round threat of wildfires that has been exacerbated by the effects of climate change. This year, we are entering a new drought, which will only increase the threat of these fires.
