California delivered on its reputation as a testing ground for liberal ideas as state lawmakers wrapped up a legislative session that extended the nation's most ambitious climate change programs, raised the minimum wage to $15 and toughened gun laws. While they failed to address some of the maddening challenges afflicting Californians' daily lives - most notably, skyrocketing housing costs and crumbling roads - lawmakers advanced top priorities for the labor, environmental, gun-control and anti-tobacco movements.
Standing beneath the forest-green peaks of the Sierra Nevada, President Barack Obama drew a connection Wednesday between conservation efforts and stopping global warming, describing the two environmental challenges as inseparably linked.

Jerry Brown has taken the national stage to tout California's fight against global warming, telling cheering throngs at the Democratic National Convention that the state has “the toughest climate laws in the country.” Yet inside the state Capitol, the fate of the policy's centerpiece - legislation to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions - is in peril. One ominous sign: Brown on Thursday opened a fundraising committee, taking the first step toward putting an environmental initiative on the 2018 ballot in case the bill fails in the Legislature.
It was a jarring transition. At the Democratic National Convention last Wednesday, a video by James Cameron depicted the impacts of climate change against a dramatic score - global warming as disaster movie, essentially.
