Clean Air California launched a statewide advertising campaign this week highlighting the urgent need to fight climate change and its impacts by reducing vehicle emissions and curtailing wildfires. The coalition is sponsoring the Clean Cars and Clean Air Act, a November ballot initiative that would boost California’s transition to clean, zero-emission vehicles and increase wildfire prevention and response.
“It’s exciting to see an even bigger climate investment proposed today but Governor Newsom and lawmakers must double down on investments in clean air, energy, transportation, and other infrastructure. But more is needed. This is an existential threat and their job is to ensure victory in the fight. Saving California requires a budget with many unprecedented actions. We have the know-how and the resources. We just need leaders to unleash them by passing a Climate Courage Budget that invests at least $75 billion over five years.”
“…only a massive investment in climate solutions can overcome the massive threats of wildfires, drought, extreme heat, and pollution.” “Another future is possible. Californians need our Governor, Senate and Assembly leaders to summon the climate courage needed to save our state.”
