Over 70 #Conservation and #EnvironmentalJustice groups, oppose CA Gov's trailer bills, a "quintessential 'behind closed doors' process that cuts out any meaningful public engagement", call for #Transparency. Read the letter to legislative leaders: defenders.org/sites/default/…

Why the panic to construct dams during times of water shortage when there are better, more innovative options available? New dams do NOT equal increased water security. #NoNewDam @valleywater #stoppachecodam #cawx

I'm seeing some misinterpretation of our @UNEP Emissions Gap Report. The report finds that a credible pathway to 1.5C is not *in place* under current policies/NDCs. That's not the same as saying 1.5C is now impossible. unep.org/resources/emissions…

Why must Tesla park be Classified as a Reserve? #21 - Because it is a prime example of natural, cultural and scenic resources of statewide significance. #SaveTeslaPark @BauerKahan @Steve_Glazer @SenHenryStern @WadeCrowfoot @aguamando @francescavietor @RueMapp @philginsburgsf
