f the rest of the country were doing what we are , we ' d be a long way toward hitting climate change targets . We ' re doing a lot right . You ' re not wrong . If anything , I just think California could be making more progress than on target to meet climate change targets , which are pretty conservative as it is given the urgency of the situation . The approval ratings are sort of misleading , though California has too many different constituencies with different needs for raw statistics to be a good indicator . Not to mention how populous the cities are . That ' s a decent approval rating for the Legislature , though , but Governor Brown could take a more active role in encouraging reforms where needed , and pushing even harder on some goals .
