Kotek signs executive order to ramp up climate change protections in Oregon
Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek signed an executive order on Thursday, aiming to speed up climate protections for state land and water.
Executive Order 25-26 directs certain state agencies to increase the pace of climate resilient strategies in existing state programs.
“Oregon’s forests, grasslands, farms, and wetlands deliver critical benefits statewide and can sequester more carbon,” Kotek said in a statement. “We will unlock the incredible promise and power of our natural and working lands by implementing proactive policies that protect priority lands and waters and help landowners manage their landscapes to withstand and recover from the impacts of climate change.”
The executive order features several provisions including a “10 by 10” directive that sets a goal for state agencies to protect or restore 10% of Oregon’s land and waters within 10 years compared to 2025’s baseline conditions.

Oregon to miss its 2035 greenhouse gas reduction benchmark by 2 years, report says
Oregon will miss its 2035 greenhouse gas emissions reduction goal by two years, due to a boom in data centers and the end of federal vehicle emissions standards, according to an analysis completed this month. But state officials pushing to drastically cut carbon emissions say it’s not too late to get back on track. (snip)
The Oregon Climate Action Commission, which released the report, is seeking public input until 5 p.m. Oct. 31. The commission is a 35-member advisory group, with 13 of its members appointed by the governor.
So, citizens in the People’s Republik Of Oregon won’t buy EVs without massive government subsidies? Or, at least, super gas efficient hybrids? They won’t take one for the team and practice what they preach? Weird. How about the state government? My public input would be that the state stop using fossil fuels completely, which could cause an issue for the Elected’s like Kotek who wouldn’t be able to hobnob around in a big fossil fueled SUV. Maybe the state could close all the airports and shipping ports? Anything helps, right?
WOW!! Just the sight of an American Flag entices people to vote for Republicans!!!

The United States of Donald has now a state-run economy, the antithesis of conservatism. The USD has changed its military’s Defensive posture to a War footing – sending a carrier strike group to protect us from Argen-f’ing-tina!! Our “freedom-obsessed” right-wing brethren applaud sending troops to occupy USD cities.
The sad fact is the USD right despises our Constitution which restricts their ability to control the masses. We are rapidly becoming a plutocracy with a leader who is a willing puppet of the amorals: Musk, Zuck, Bezos, Thiel, Schwarzman, Huang… The MAGAts are their foot-soldiers, eventually to be their serfs.
The same scientific “minds” that now assess vaccines, autism, cancer research; that shut down the best research laboratories in history; that rely on “miracles” and “angels” – now deny the simple fact that CO2 from fossil fuels is causing our Earth to warm. A new “dark age”.
Now, if J could only find verifiable evidence that it’s CO2 and not the other hypotheses. Still waiting..
Or even more important, evidence that it’s a “crisis”
Jeff said, without a scintilla of evidence or common sense: “…the simple fact that CO2 from fossil fuels is causing our Earth to warm.”
Greenhouses don’t CAUSE anything to warm — they merely retain heat from an outside source. If, as you say, carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, then there’s no causation there. At best, there’s retention, but the degree of heat retention by a trace gas in the atmosphere is certainly up for debate.
But then again, you lefties can’t tell which bathroom to use, so it’s no surprise that you have no idea what actually CAUSES anything.
Stupid porter jr,
The greenhouse gases in our atmosphere slow the loss of heat from the Earth. Stop playing dumb.
Sunlight heats the Earth and infrared radiation (ir) is radiated from the surface to space. When this is balanced – heat in equal heat out – the the climate is stable. Chemicals such as H2O, CO2, CH4 but not O2 or N2 absorb ir and re-emit, not just out to space but down and sideways. The atmosphere warms. Don’t stay ignorant.
BTW..Suck it Science Denier!
Is Rimjob now claiming the Earth’s climate is becoming unstable?
Consult with your imaginary friends and get back to us, m’kay?
And what is it with your oral fixation?
Denying what science?
“Sunlight heats the Earth…”
Oh, so now it’s the SUN that causes warming? Gee, I wonder where you got that idea. Or are you going to further enstupidate yourself by telling me with a straight face that heat and warmth are two different things?
Your pathetic, feeble loser attempt to save face after being caught dead to rights on your blatant factual error, rather than graciously take the L, is laugh-out-loud amusing.
The first rule of the regressive left: When in a hole, keep digging. Which is why we’ll continue to hand you shovels while laughing at you.
You’re either a moron or a lying shithead or both.
Suck it, dumbass.
Says the party that coerced social media to censor conservative content, blocked Trump from posting during an election year (16 million dollar settlement), weaponized TSA to harass Tulsi Gabbard and Republican congressmen, had the FBI spying on eight Republican senators, spied on Catholic churches, deployed the FBI against parents at school board meetings, prosecuted pro-lifers, ect..
Amnesia or just a bad day?
Gov. Tina Kotex? Did I read that wrong? :)
Ding! Ding! Ding!!
We have a wiener!!!
We were wondering who would be the first yuckster to change Kotek to Kotex!!
So much for the MAGAt smart sense of humor. Yuck, yuck. How hinchcliffe. How high school. How trump.
Christine Kotek served from 2007 to 2022 as a member of the Oregon House of Representatives and from 2013 to 2022 as speaker.
So Rimjob why were you and those there with you wondering?
Is your life really that boring that you need made companions?
Will you ever advance in maturity beyond a petulant child?
The MAGA sense of humor is alive and well. Referring to one of yours — the Democrat with the SS Totenkopf tattoo on his chest — as “Maine Kampf” is pretty darn funny.
