“Climate change is the most important public health issue of our time and reducing climate pollution will generate billions in public health benefits for all communities in California.  Each step forward to clean up transportation, electricity generation and other pollution sources means fewer asthma attacks and fewer hospitalizations for asthma and other respiratory illnesses. That’s why the American Lung Association in California applauds Senate Pro Tem Kevin de Leon and Senate leadership, including Senators Pavley and Leno, for the visionary climate bill package being released today.”
