Dear <span style="font-family:'Open Sans','Helvetica Neue',Arial,sans-serif">Ann</span>,
<br>
<br>
<span style="background-color:#ffff99"><strong>Big oil companies and Governor Brown are teaming up to ram cap and trade through the California Legislature.</strong></span> Cap and trade is a corporate-friendly scheme that lets billion-dollar oil and gas corporations
pay for their pollution instead of requiring them to make real reductions.<br>
<br>
<span>California has some of the nation’s worst air quality and is the second largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the United States after Texas.</span> A <strong style="font-family:'Open Sans','Helvetica Neue',Arial,sans-serif">real solution would require </strong><span style="font-family:'Open Sans','Helvetica Neue',Arial,sans-serif">that </span><span style="font-family:'Open Sans','Helvetica Neue',Arial,sans-serif">t</span><span style="font-family:'Open Sans','Helvetica Neue',Arial,sans-serif">he
fossil fuel industry reduces its pollution at the exact source.</span><br>
<br>
<a style="font-family:'Open Sans','Helvetica Neue',Arial,sans-serif; color:#009444; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:underline" href="http://act.foodandwaterwatch.org/site/R?i=p_sleBggtepzDud35cazTQ">Urge your state legislators to stand up to the fossil fuel
industry and oppose cap and trade in California!</a><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family:'Open Sans','Helvetica Neue',Arial,sans-serif">Pro-fracking Governor Brown has been getting praise for criticizing Trump on climate change, yet his effort to extend cap and trade is a dangerous and false solution to greenhouse gas pollution.
Brown and Big Oil have helped craft Assembly Bill 398, a bill that would prolong cap and trade through 2030 and undermine the fight against extreme climate change. </span><br>
<br>
<strong style="font-family:'Open Sans','Helvetica Neue',Arial,sans-serif">Cap and trade allows refineries and power plants to simply pay for their emissions rather than requiring them to reduce emissions.</strong><span style="font-family:'Open Sans','Helvetica Neue',Arial,sans-serif"> It
is no surprise that the oil and gas lobby is supporting cap and trade since these large corporations, such as Chevron, can easily pay for their emissions with the billions that they rake in every year. Even worse, the bill would prohibit local jurisdictions
from setting higher standards! </span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family:'Open Sans','Helvetica Neue',Arial,sans-serif">Studies show that emissions in California have increased or stayed the same from refineries and oil and gas drilling</span><sup>1</sup><span style="font-family:'Open Sans','Helvetica Neue',Arial,sans-serif">. If
we are serious about avoiding severe climate change impacts, such as droughts and 10 feet of sea-level rise,
</span><span style="background-color:#ffff99"><em style="font-family:'Open Sans','Helvetica Neue',Arial,sans-serif">we have to significantly lower our emissions NOW</em><span style="font-family:'Open Sans','Helvetica Neue',Arial,sans-serif">.</span></span><br>
<br>
<a style="font-family:'Open Sans','Helvetica Neue',Arial,sans-serif" href="http://act.foodandwaterwatch.org/site/R?i=7M1vshZuLfnNS0N7VTOzOA"><span style="color:#009444"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline">Tell your legislator to stand up to corporate
polluters and help put a stop to climate change!</span></strong></span></a><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family:'Open Sans','Helvetica Neue',Arial,sans-serif">Every year thousands of Californians die from dirty air and thousands more become chronically sick.</span><span style="font-family:'Open Sans','Helvetica Neue',Arial,sans-serif"> California
has a responsibility to reduce its pollution not only to lead the nation against climate change, but to improve the health of its residents.</span><br>
<br>
<strong style="font-family:'Open Sans','Helvetica Neue',Arial,sans-serif">Your legislators are being pressured by Brown and the oil and gas lobby to pass a cap-and-trade bill quickly.</strong><span style="font-family:'Open Sans','Helvetica Neue',Arial,sans-serif">
<br>
<br>
While they still don't have the votes they need to pass cap-and-trade legislation, they are working hard in back rooms to pressure legislators to get on board with this pay-to-pollute scheme.
<br>
<br>
<span style="background-color:#ffff99"><strong>Your legislator needs to hear from you!
