Where will the Climate Center focus? 01:37:44 johnschaefer: Renaming cap and trade didn’t address its problems, as outlined by IEMAC. What’s a path forward? 01:37:48 Rachel Mandelbaum - Dayenu (she/her): I would love to hear someone talk about the odds of veto overrides around the bills Jeff highlighted - why, why not? Along with last years SB 1374/AB 2256 how can we push back? 01:39:29 Dave Shukla: 👆 01:41:12 Lynne Baker: Check this link for report noted above: https://www.ethree.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/CPUC-Air-Quality-Report-FINAL.pdf 01:41:16 Gavin Bruce: Yes we need to get local governments to amend zoning laws and allow for higher density, mixed use development that is more conducive to public transit, walking, and biking 01:42:48 Christina Scaringe, Center for Biological Diversity: We shouldn’t be including 88% of NV demand and 33% of AZ demand under the heading/ definition of “CA demand”. Oct2025 DPMO report makes clear price spikes are profit spikes by the oligopoly they describe exists in CA oil industry/ market. 01:43:34 Eileen Mitro: Can we talk about grid regionalization? Isn’t it a bad thing? 01:46:29 Shaellen Franco: Are there other steps outside of education? 01:46:32 Nancy Thursby: It is frustrating to see everyone working so hard just to have their work vetoed by the governor. 01:47:53 Gavin Bruce: If rich investors can make money on nature based solutions, the government will prioritize it. 01:49:53 Gavin Bruce: Yes, nature based solutions are the low-hanging fruit that are multi-beneficial and ready to implement today (if we had the funding). Thank you for all of your work on that!! 01:50:18 Elisabeth Green: How will you reward the childfree climate heroes? Having one fewer child prevents 58.6 tonnes CO2-equivalent emissions per year for developed countries on average (Seth Wynes and Kimberly Nicholas 2017 Environ. Res. Lett. 12 074024). https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/aa7541/meta For every AFDC (aid to families with dependent children) recipient who bore 16 children to get more welfare, 15 conscientious women and 15 incels remained childfree. The resulting achievement of a critical mass of adults who were raised on welfare resulted in a loss of biodiversity. 01:51:33 Karen Wood: I'm with EG about childfree thing 01:58:40 Gavin Bruce: Is that really a thing though? (people having kids just to get welfare?). That sounds like a talking point to me that is not constructive and puts the blame on the wrong people. 01:59:11 Jonathan Cole: I agree with Gavin. 01:59:14 Dave Shukla: thank you gavin 01:59:22 The Climate Center: As we are wrapping up, please remember to take our action here: https://theclimatecenter.org/community-energy-resilience/tell-governor-newsom-stand-up-for-climate-action-at-cop30/ 01:59:44 Venise Curry: I agree with Gavin. 02:00:11 Ellen Maremont Silver: Fascinating, inspiring leaders - thank you to all the speakers and to you, Allison. Keep giving us hope! 02:00:21 Dan Kalb (he/him): Informative Climate Webinar. Thanks to The Climate Center and the speakers for this policy update. 02:00:35 Kat Selm: Thank you! 02:00:38 Karen Wood: Thank yall 02:00:42 Gavin Bruce: Thank you all for the webinar! Very imformative! 02:00:42 Elisabeth Green: Gavin, I have witnessed people sharing that they had 16 children to break the social security system 02:00:54 Dave Shukla: great webinar, thank you everyone 02:00:54 Lynne Baker: thank you
