Dear EarthTalk: How did the
Global Climate Action Summit
coming up later this year in
San Francisco come about and
what do organizers hope to
accomplish?
-- Jamie Smith, San Jose, CA
The purpose of the forthcoming
2018 Global Climate Action
Summit—scheduled to take
place September 12-14, 2018 in
San Francisco, California—is to
showcase the actions that state
and local leaders, businesses,
investors, scientists, students,
non-profits and other so-called
“sub-national actors” have taken
to reduce their emissions already.
Organizers hope to secure bold
commitments from them to do
even more, thus showing that
decarbonization and economic
growth go hand-in-hand and
galvanizing a global movement
for climate action that leaves no
one behind.
This new international meeting
is the brainchild of California’s
79-year-old outgoing governor
Jerry Brown, one of the country’s
great crusaders for cutting
carbon emissions despite lack
of federal interest in solving
the climate crisis. According
to Brown, subnational actors
are a critical part of the climate
solution and can help push the
world’s leaders to go further,
faster. These leaders will join
citizens from around the world
to showcase examples of major
climate action initiatives already
taking place without the aid of the
federal government. They hope
to inspire deeper commitments
from each other and from
national governments in support
of the Paris Agreement.
The Global Climate Action Summit, coming up next September in San
Francisco, is the brainchild of California’s 79-year-old outgoing governor
Jerry Brown, one of the country’s great crusaders for cutting carbon
emissions despite lack of federal interest in solving the climate crisis.

Brownhastappedthreeleaders
as summit co-chairs: Patricia
Espinosa, executive secretary of
the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change;
Anand Mahindra, chairman of
the Mahindra Group, an Indian
conglomerate that recently
committed to meet its Paris
climate agreement commitments;
and Michael Bloomberg, the
former mayor of New York City
and founder/CEO of Bloomberg
LP who is a vigorous campaigner
for and generous donor to
environmental causes. These
three are primarily responsible
for shaping the event’s purpose,
format and overall curation and
leveraging their voices and
network for the cause.
Why now? According to
Brown, 2018 is a turning point:
Countries and all of us must
step up the commitments that
were made in Paris and do more.
“The momentum we generate
this year must lead to a climate
turning point by 2020 in order
to prevent the worst effects of
climate change,” says Brown. “It
must be the beginning of a new
phase of action and ambition on
climate change.”
Participants are expected to
go beyond just sharing what
they have achieved to date
and announce stepped-up
commitments to usher in what
organizers are hoping will be
“a new era of decarbonization
and prosperity.” The culmination
of the meeting will be a call
to action to nations to step up
their ambition under the Paris
Agreement and cut emissions on
a science-based trajectory that
limits warming to well below two
degrees Celsius.
“The Summit seeks to change
the climate conversation,
broaden and depoliticize the
issue, and activate everyone to
call for change to preserve our
future,” Brown concludes. The
governor’s actions in steering
California to be one of the
world’s most fuel efficient large
economies is even more inspiring
than his words. Given that Brown
won’t be able to run again for
governor due to term limits, the
Summit may represent the last
hurrah of his storied political
career.

Marble is a seven year old neutered black feline with long, silky fur
and weighs 9.6lbs. The shelter has been a stressful place for him
and he may give an initial hiss when you open his cage. However,
give him a minute to warm up to you and he will purr non-stop while
being petted, roll around in his bed, and nudge your hand for more
attention. Marble enjoys being brushed and will require regular
groomings to maintain his fur. Meet him by asking for ID#A1827027
Tag#C893. Marble can be adopted for $35.
Rudy is a ten years young neutered Chihuahua who weighs 8lbs.
This little guy arrived to the shelter as a stray and wants nothing more
than a cozy lap to snuggle up with. Rudy is may look like an old
man, but like most small dogs, he is only middle age and has many
more years of companionship to provide. Meet Rudy by asking for
ID#A1826188 Tag#C727. He can be adopted for the Senior Fee of
$35. This fee is waived for Seniors looking to adopt Senior Pets!
All adoptions will include vaccinations, spaying/neutering (upon adoption),
a microchip and free Vet visit. Dog fees also include a 1 year license. Marble
and Rudy are at our Central County Shelter, 5480 Gaines Street, San Diego
. The Shelter hours are 9:30AM to 5:30PM, Tuesday through Sunday or visit

Attorney General Becerra
Reminds Victims Of Western
Union Wire Fraud Scams To
Apply For Refunds
***Deadline To Apply For Refunds
Extended To May 31, 2018***
California Attorney General Xavier Becerra today reminded
Californians who were the victims of wire fraud via Western Union to
submit a claim in order to be considered for a refund payment. The
original deadline to submit a claim was February 12, 2018 and has
now been extended to May 31, 2018.
“For over 13 years, Western Union failed to prevent scammers from
using its wire transferring services to take advantage of consumers.
That is unacceptable,” said Attorney General Becerra. “Today, in
light of the new, extended application deadline, we are reminding all
Californians who were tricked into wiring money via Western Union
to apply for a refund. Hardworking families who were defrauded by
Western Union’s services deserve justice.”
Last year, Attorney General Xavier Becerra announced a
multistate settlement with Western Union. The settlement resolved
an investigation that focused on complaints by consumers who were
tricked into using Western Union’s wire transfer service to send
money to third parties involved in schemes to defraud consumers.
The states had alleged that, despite many warnings that its system
was being used for frauds, Western Union failed to take corrective
action to protect consumers. The multistate settlement includes a
permanent injunction requiring Western Union to establish an anti-
fraud program that will prevent scam artists from using Western
Union’s wire transfer services to victimize consumers.
In a related, but separate agreement with the Federal Trade
Commission and U.S. Department of Justice, Western Union agreed
to pay $586 million in refunds to victims of wire fraud. California
consumers who made a wire transfer through Western Union between
January 1, 2004 and January 19, 2017 may be eligible for more than
$65 million in refunds. It is from this pool of federal settlement money
that prior victims can apply for refunds.
Attorney General Becerra has also released a guide for consumers
on the different types of scams and advice on how to remain vigilant
against wire fraud. Attorney General Becerra strongly encourages
consumers to report scams to the Office of the Attorney General's
Public Inquiry Unit by calling (800) 952-5225 or by submitting a
complaint at oag.ca.gov/report.
Information about refund eligibility and the process for filing a claim
is available at www.westernunionremission.com.
