California Governor Gavin Newsom has announced the launch of satellite-mounted sensors to track methane emissions, following through on a commitment made by former Governor Jerry Brown. This move responds to the Trump administration's rollback of climate regulations and aims to safeguard decades of environmental progress. Funded through $100 million from the state's cap-and-trade program, these satellites will enable better monitoring of a significant pollutant contributing to climate change, allowing for coordinated mitigation efforts and collaboration across jurisdictions.
The satellites will be funded using $100 million from the state's cap-and-trade program.
"California isn't having it," says Newsom about the Trump administration's rollbacks of climate protections.
