Senator Dianne Feinstein, the longest-serving woman in Senate history, passed away at the age of 90. Feinstein had a complicated legacy on climate and environmental issues, being both a champion for conservation and receiving criticism for her approach to tackling the climate crisis. She successfully passed legislation to protect California wilderness and reduce carbon emissions but often had to balance the competing interests of farmers, ranchers, and environmentalists. Feinstein faced backlash from activists for not supporting more ambitious climate policies and also faced calls for resignation due to reports of a loss in mental faculties.
