Adrian Martinez offers two ways California can counteract the Trump Administration’s destructive moves to thwart the state’s clean air progress. 1️⃣ Use the state budget to replenish a popular program that helps companies adopt nonpolluting trucks 2️⃣ Pass the California Clean Skies Act

Over the last year, the Trump administration has done everything they can to attack policies that protect California’s air quality. But we have a chance to creatively counteract this destruction.

The Southwest smashing heat records in March 'is what climate change looks like' 'Virtually impossible' without climate change Climate scientists at World Weather Attribution did a flash analysis — which is not peer-reviewed yet — of whether climate change was a factor in this Southwest heat wave. They compared this week's expected temperatures to what's been observed in the area in March since 1900 and computer models of a world with climate change. They found that "events as warm as in March 2026 would have been virtually impossible without human-induced climate change." That warming, from the burning of coal, oil and natural gas, added between 4.7 degrees to 7.2 degrees F (2.6 to 4 degrees C) to the temperatures being felt, the report found.

It's the first day of spring in the northern hemisphere, but temperatures in the west, including in California, are breaking heat records. This is climate change showing up — and twhy Climate Action California is working hard towards a decarbonized future. www.pbs.org/newshour...
