Your Call: How would you assess California's climate change policies?

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2017/11/13/californias-jerry-brown-how-beat-trump-climate-change/857519001/

California makes international headlines for leading the way on global climate solutions. At the climate conference in Bonn, Germany, Governor Jerry Brown championed California’s role in transitioning to renewable energy, but activists called him out for continuing to promote oil and gas extraction in the state. How fast are we moving towards true sustainability? Join the conversation on the next Your Call, with Rose Aguilar, and you.

Guests:

Adrienne Alvord, Western states director for the Union of Concerned Scientists

Jean Su, associate conservation director and a staff attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity
