I spoke at the Governor’s Public Workshop for The Fourth California Climate Assessment in Los Angeles August 12th, highlighting the imminent need for aggressive action on limiting carbon pollution. I introduced the REMI report touting a revenue-neutral carbon fee and dividend as a sane and effective way to reduce emissions, grow our economy, provide jobs and save lives and The Solutions Project’s proposals to go carbon free by 2020. I cited among other things, California’s severe drought,wildfire seasons which have doubled in length and tripled in costs and the dangers of inaction by policymakers.
