It has been three years since University of Virginia football players Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis Jr., and D’Sean Perry were shot and killed coming back from a school trip.

We remember Devin, Lavel, and D’Sean and will continue to #HonorWithAction.

China’s CO2 emissions have now been flat or falling for 18 months, starting in March 2024.

This trend continued in the third quarter of 2025, when emissions were unchanged year-on-year.

If this trend starts to move into sustained carbon emissions reduction it would be hugely significant.

Good news: more than 50% of the world’s economies have seen carbon emissions from fossil fuel power generation peaking. And with the speed of change in the electricity sector many more will join this growing list in coming years.

The Trump Administration's lack of duty, responsibility, or leadership to address the climate crisis is an abomination and a disgrace.

California remains a stable and reliable partner in low-carbon, green growth.

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"

China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.

For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.

The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

There’s a lot of misinformation and disinformation out there about our country’s gun violence crisis. The reality is: The US has a gun homicide rate 26x that of peer nations. That’s no coincidence—it’s the result of lax gun laws.
