California Gov. Gavin Newsom says he will sign climate-focused transparency laws for big business

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:18:52 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Sunday that he plans to sign into law a pair of climate-focused bills intended to force major corporations to be more transparent about greenhouse gas emissions and the financial risks stemming from global warming. Newsom’s announcement came during an out-of-state trip to New York’s Climate Week, where world leaders in business, politics and the arts are gathered to seek solutions for climate change. California lawmakers last week passed legislation requiring large businesses from oil and gas companies to retail giants to disclose their direct greenhouse gas emissions as well as those that come from activities like employee business travel. Such disclosures are a “simple but intensely powerful driver of decarbonization,” said the bill’s author, state Sen. Scott Wiener, a Democrat.“This legislation will support those companies doing their part to tackle the climate crisis and create accountability for those that aren’t,” Wiener ...

Strong A’s prospect debut can’t prevent first ever Padres sweep against Oakland

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:18:52 GMT

OAKLAND — A’s manager Mark Kotsay didn’t hide his biggest concern. Joe Boyle had command issues in the minor leagues the team feared would translate into the pitcher’s Major League debut on Sunday afternoon.But Boyle’s command issues didn’t overshadow the talent. The 24-year-old rookie threw three scoreless innings, allowing just one hit with four strikeouts in his big league debut against the potent San Diego Padres lineup.He walked two batters, but struck out star Fernando Tatis Jr. twice and, through his start, threw a high-90 mph four-seam fastball that topped out at 100ph, a cutter that reached 92 mph and peppered in seven curveballs. But his performance wasn’t enough to prevent a 10-1 loss and first ever three-game Padres sweep of the A’s.The Padres got to Ken Waldichuk, who came in as the A’s featured pitcher, for two runs on four hits in the fourth inning. Manny Machado doubled while Luis Campusano and Eguy Rosario collec...

SF Giants’ offense comes to life to avoid sweep vs. Rockies, but is it too late?

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:18:52 GMT

DENVER — The San Francisco Giants must have been wondering as the sixth inning went on, hit after hit, run after run, where was all this offense when they needed it?A dozen men came to bat and eight of them crossed the plate, practically matching their offensive output from the first three games of this series and providing just enough fuel to at least salvage one win, 11-10, in the four-game set against the National League’s bottom feeders.The final out sailed into Thairo Estrada’s glove at second base, and J.D. Davis hung his head with his hands on his knees, a clear sense of relief, after Camilo Doval nearly let the club’s rare offensive outburst go to waste while surrendering four runs in the bottom of the ninth, allowing the Charlie Blackmon to step in against Taylor Rogers as the would-be winning run.Blackmon hit a soft liner into Estrada’s glove for the final out, ending a game that exuded Coors Field all over it, after the teams seemed to forget they ...

Berkeley tests new emergency siren system, urges residents to be prepared for fires

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:18:52 GMT

An eerie three-tone chime rang out over Berkeley at 12 p.m. Sunday afternoon, the sound echoing through the trees at Live Oak Park as city officials looked on.“This is a test of the city of Berkeley’s outdoor warning system,” a disembodied voice said, followed by applause from a crowd that had gathered. “This is only a test.”For an event commemorating the 100-year anniversary of a wildfire that destroyed much of North Berkeley, the “Fire Ready Fest” was a decidedly chipper affair. Children pranced through little hula hoops adorned with paper flames. Adults posed with a giant lion mascot dressed in a Cal Fire uniform. Families sat eating lunch in the park grass.Although the event had the energy of a summer farmers market, the eerie chime was a fresh reminder that, even a century later, Berkeley residents face a unique set of wildfire risks.“Wildfire has always been part of our history in Berkeley, and our landscape,” said Berkeley Fire Chief David Sprague. “We understand the signific...
