California air regulators were set to vote Thursday on an ambitious plan to cut carbon emissions in the state by changing practices in the energy, transportation and agriculture sectors, but critics say it doesn't go far enough to combat climate change.
The plan puts the state on a path to so-called carbon neutrality by 2045, meaning California will remove as many carbon emissions from the atmosphere as it emits. Doing so will require a rapid reduction in planet-warming emissions and a ramp up of technology to remove remaining greenhouse gases from the air.
