Over the past year, precisely as our ability to identify the specific magnitude of action required to hit 2030 climate targets of 50-52 percent below 2005 levels has resolved into ever clearer view, the range of viable pathways for meeting those targets has consistently and considerably narrowed. No pivoting, just pivotal.

o C in 2100, relative to pre-industrial times, is still avoidable, but whether or not we are able to stay within these limits and avert catastrophic climate change depends on achieving our climate goals of emissions reductions at least 50 percent below 2005 levels in 2030, on the way to net-zero emissions in 2050.

Here’s why the claims are wrong: UCS has pointed out that while gas burns cleaner than coal at a power plant, it is far from a “clean” fuel because it still results in significant toxic air pollution. Methane is also a fast-acting greenhouse gas in terms of its impact on the climate. There’s a better way forward.

For the first time since 2005, we'll add three new parks to our national award-winning system to bring our total to 124. Cleaner trucks, buses, and trains are reducing air pollution in the state, and more than 1,500 electric vehicle charging plugs have been installed, many of them in environmental justice communities.
