Global carbon dioxide is being done cheaply & reliably by forests & land management, NOT by expensive unproven CO2 capture & sequestration. Put $$ in nature, not false tech solutions! Fossil Free California @DownWithOil Center for Biological Diversity reuters.com/business/envir…

USA must lead the world in phasing out fossil fuel energy, especially for power and for transportation. Otherwise the costs are astronomical. We have very little time to stop emitting GHG. Fossil Free California Last Chance Alliance Center on Race, Poverty, & the Environment

Divestment bill passed Sen Labor Cmt! Pro-SB252 presented strong arguments why CALSTRS & CALPERS MUST DIVEST TO FULFILL THEIR FIDUCIARY DUTY. Many pension beneficiaries made it clear they don't want their funds supporting fossil fuels. Way to go, @SenGonzalez_33 Fossil Free California!
