Info page - https://theclimatecenter.org/events/california-climate-policy-summit-2024/ Registration page - https://whova.com/portal/registration/ccps_202403/ 01:00:10 Gary Hughes: Statement on COP 28 from global climate justice groups (including Oil Change International) “what good is a package of false solutions, empty finance, and meaningless promises?” https://demandclimatejustice.org/2023/12/12/cop28-is-running-into-overtime-but-your-time-is-up-to-deliver-climate-justice/ 01:00:29 Rob England - The Climate Center: Senator Limon's bio: https://theclimatecenter.org/about/people/senator-monique-limon/ 01:01:31 Collin Rees – Oil Change International: Thank you, Gary! The problems of false solutions and a lack of finance from rich countries for the transition are absolutely critical and some of the most important climate issues we can be working on. 01:02:47 Debora Ow: Can you send out the chart of nation dependence on oil and gas industry? 01:03:37 Collin Rees – Oil Change International: Yes Debora — we will be sending out all of my slides and links to the reports they were drawn from. 01:03:45 Marc Victoria, The Climate Center: @Debra - All the slides and the recording of the webinar will be sent to all registrants after the webinar 01:04:38 Gary Hughes: https://climateuncensored.com/quick-response-to-the-draft-final-text-of-cop28/ 01:10:17 Sandy Emerson: How can we help uphold SB 1137? 01:11:48 Beverly DesChaux: Thank you for your work for us, Sen Limon!!! 01:11:56 J Z: There's a petition on November's ballot to reject SB1137 sponsored by the oil and gas industry - you have to be careful with the wording about whether you vote yes or no to uphold it. 01:12:48 J Z: IMHO the biggest task this year is the election. 01:16:58 Woody Hastings: This is theCampaign or a Safe and Healthy California, to defend SB 1137 —Keep the law! https://www.cavsbigoil.com/ 01:18:56 Beverly DesChaux: sounds like gov's ofc is allowing that which runs completely counter to achieving the state's climate goals such as the solar assaults which has resulted in 77% reduction in new solar adoption! $$ toward hydrogen is a complete waste and stalling of our progress! 98% from fossil fuels! and any so called "green hydrogen" will require a greening of the grid so why not just support THAT directly. speaking of false transition! 01:19:43 Collin Rees – Oil Change International: https://www.fractracker.org/2023/10/oil-and-gas-activity-within-california-public-health-protection-zones/ 01:22:12 Beverly DesChaux: where is Sen Stern? 01:23:03 Al Sattler: The November election is critically important, including defending SB 1137, and elections for Federal offices. More immediately, in the March 4 election, there are some choices between strongly pro-environment candidates and candidates who don't care as much as the environment. 01:24:59 Beverly DesChaux: please do not vote 3 rd party unless you want a worse re- run of the previous administration in DC! 01:25:13 Jerilyn Lopez Mendoza (she/her) The Climate Center: Beverly, he is speaking next and we hope to have time for Q&A for him as well. 01:25:17 Rob England - The Climate Center: Senator Stern's bio: https://theclimatecenter.org/about/people/senator-henry-stern/ 01:28:42 Gary Hughes: Essential to include the USA in the list of petro states opposing end to fossil fuels — https://insideclimatenews.org/news/11122023/us-climate-activists-at-cop28-slam-their-home-country-for-hypocrisy/ 01:34:17 Stephen Rosenblum: What can we do to ensure the SB261 and SB253 are fully implemented as written? 01:36:03 Gary Hughes: And the ancient redwoods. Earliest oil tanks were made of redwood. 01:36:40 Collin Rees – Oil Change International: Fully agree that much more needs to be done to reduce gas consumption in California! I was speaking only to our (now) fairly low level of oil and gas production. 01:37:00 Collin Rees – Oil Change International: We absolutely need quick action to address both supply and demand and wind them down together. 01:37:35 Beverly DesChaux: while methane is important to address, it also avoids actual phasing out/stopping of oil itself 01:37:43 Gary Hughes: CARB and regulators have ignored evidence that making liquid biofuels at soy at converted refineries like P66 in Rodeo requires massive amounts of fossil gas. Liquid biofuels are fossil fuel intensive energy product, but state regulators obscure this fact. 01:38:35 Susan Longville: Thank you Senator Stern for telling the truth about fossil fuel assets in California 01:38:39 Beverly DesChaux: agree Gary Hughes!! 01:39:23 Al Sattler: Any way to avoid the monster trucks and SUVs that are pedestrian-killers? 01:40:07 Al Sattler: Thank you, Sen. Stern!!! 01:40:22 Sandy Emerson: Thanks for your work, Senators! 01:41:06 Linda Seeley: And please don’t leave out big oil/big gas/big NUCLEAR. They are inextricably connected. 01:41:44 Elizabeth Farnum: Thanks, Senators, for your work! 01:42:53 Sandy Emerson: Also please get the Fossil Fuel Divestment bill, SB 252, over the finish line by writing your Assemblymembers.https://fossilfreeca.org/sb-252-letter-to-assembly/ 01:43:32 Al Sattler: Any way for people to participate remotely? 01:43:48 Al Sattler: At least send letters, I suppose. 01:44:42 Al Sattler: How can we talk with Building Trades? 01:45:13 Janet Cox: Clin=mate Action California has a campaign going asking the leadership to return to the COVID era policy of allowing remote participation.
