ZEV momentum in CA is thriving! Nearly 1 in 4 new trucks, buses, and vans sold in CA are zero-emission—putting the state 2 years ahead of schedule. This is more than double the minimum requirement for 2024 and marks the highest total of ZEV sales ever reported.

Today CARB blasted U.S. EPA’s illegal bid to overturn the 2009 Endangerment Finding—the cornerstone of federal climate responsibility. EPA is ignoring 15+ years of its own science & putting millions of lives at risk. When EPA falters, CA stands tall for science & clean air. ➡️ bit.ly/4gECFjx

🍂 Fall in California brings cooler mornings—but also peak wildfire danger. Dry conditions + strong winds + low humidity = dangerous fire weather. ✅ Pack a go-bag ✅ Review your evacuation plan ✅ Avoid sparks during #RedFlagWarnings Prepare now: ReadyForWildfire.org #CALFIRE #Wildfires #Preparedness

Transportation is the largest source of climate pollution in CA—but every ZEV on the road means cleaner air, healthier communities, and progress toward our climate goals.

I’m closing out my time as Chair with great satisfaction knowing we are on a steady path to carbon neutrality with the future of the cap-and-trade (now cap-and-invest!) program secured and in the hands of CARB’s talented and capable team.

I am incredibly proud to have been part of today’s historic bill signing and grateful to the governor and legislative leaders for their tireless commitment to California’s climate leadership. ➡️ bit.ly/46eEX5k

⚡ California Lightning Alert ⚡ Thunderstorms and lightning are forecast through the weekend. Just one strike can spark a fast-moving wildfire in these dry conditions. 🔥 CAL FIRE is boosting staffing and pre-positioning crews to protect communities. youtube.com/shorts/L3nNa...

Air pollution is a silent killer — causing heart & lung disease and cancer. But California’s clean air efforts have saved $250B in health costs and cut diesel-related cancer risk by nearly 80%.

🏘 What does a wildfire-prepared community look like? The nation’s first IBHS Wildfire Prepared Community in SoCal shows the way: #Zone0 defensible space + home hardening = stronger protection. Preparedness starts at home. Learn more: ReadyForWildfire.org #CALFIRE #NationalPreparednessMonth

⚡ Over 110,000 lightning strikes during the month of August sparked 534 lightning-caused wildfires—yet only 5 (1%) grew beyond 10 acres. CAL FIRE continues to meet its goal of containing 95% of fires to 10 acres or less.

Hot, dry, and windy conditions plus lightning strikes sparked the #TCUSeptemberLightningComplex. The fire has burned 13,790 acres and is 15% contained. CAL FIRE crews are working day and night to protect communities—residents should stay ready to evacuate if needed. youtu.be/Crxbk1JQz0g

Enough is enough! Yesterday, CARB stood up for science—and for people—by exposing a deeply flawed U.S. Department of Energy “study” that dangerously downplays the real human cost of climate disasters.

🔥 FIRE ACTIVITY UPDATE 🔥 The TCU September Lightning Complex is burning across multiple fires, totaling approximately 11,900 acres as of this morning (9/3). For the latest updates and details on this and other incidents, visit: fire.ca.gov #CALFIRE #LightningComplex #TCU
