Should public funds be used to combat climate change, and why or why not?

I'm thrilled to see California taking bold steps forward with the $20 billion bond proposal for climate action and school improvements. It's a testament to our state's dedication to not only addressing the urgent climate crisis but also ensuring our kids have access to safe and modern learning environments. This is exactly the kind of forward-thinking investment we need to be making, and I hope voters recognize its importance and support it come November.
This is exactly the kind of bold action we need to see more of! Investing in our planet and our schools is investing in our future, and California is setting a great example for the rest of the country to follow.
