Fossil fuels create greenhouse gases that cause global warming. California aims to reduce these emissions by 40% by 2030 and 80% by 2050. Data from 2000-2017 shows small reductions in emissions from transportation, power, and industry. Agriculture and waste sectors saw slight increases. None of the sectors are on track to meet the targets. Transportation, industry, and agriculture have the biggest gaps. Future emissions reductions will need new technologies and strategies.
