CAs shifting regs THE REPUBLICAN CLIMATE PITCH: Assembly Republicans are taking aim at some of California’s environmental mainstays, from the California Environmental Quality Act to the Coastal Commission — and they’re calling it climate action. They unveiled a package of legislation today waiving environmental rules to fast-track the clearing of flammable vegetation around vulnerable communities and facilitate controlled burns. Assembly Minority Leader James Gallagher said climate change is exacerbating California’s wildfires by making forests drier but that California’s policies to reduce emissions aren’t enough to fix the problem.

“If you went and did all the things that some of these folks think we should do, like banning all fossil fuels, it doesn't change the underlying conditions on the ground right now that are causing these fires,” Gallagher said. “Often I’ll say to some of my colleagues, ‘How long till the climate changes back? In the meantime, what should we do?’” “There's a better way to reduce emissions in a way that is much more affordable and cost effective, and that thing is vegetation management,” Gallagher added.

this might be a win for biochar and pyrolysis in California? only if it requires that vegetation is not just burned in a big bonfire.
