California Greenhouse Gas Law Still Has Majority Support, Field
Poll Finds. The state's controversial global warming law still
has the support of a majority of Californians despite growing
doubts about its potential impact on the economy, according to a
Field Poll released Tuesday. The poll shows 58 percent of
registered voters support Assembly Bill 32, which will require
significant reductions in greenhouse-gas emissions. The poll was
commissioned by Next 10, a San Francisco nonprofit group that
supports green technology and reducing gases blamed for global
warming. Posted.

California's Cap-Trade Law Faces Fall Ballot Challenge. The
energy industry and an antitax group are challenging California's
plan to cap greenhouse-gas emissions, saying the effort would
lead to job losses and raise energy prices if it goes into effect
in 2012. These groups are collecting signatures to put an
anti-cap measure before voters in November; the proposition would
postpone any carbon limit until the economy rebounds. Posted.

Red Ink and Green Jobs. In 2006, when California Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger signed a mandate for dramatic reduction of
greenhouse gasses into law, the state's economy was in a very
different place. Unemployment was 4.5 percent and residents felt
rich thanks to inflated home values. Today, 12.5 percent of
Californians are out of work, the state is in budgetary meltdown,
and Californians are re-evaluating their priorities. Posted.

Logue, Oil Firms Leading Assault on Climate Bill. Four years
ago, California earned accolades for adopting a law that would
slash its greenhouse gas emissions and serve as a model for
national climate change legislation. Now Nevada County's state
Assemblyman Dan Logue, R-Linda, is battling the plan, asking that
it be delayed until California's current jobless rate is cut by
more than half with his California Jobs Initiative. Under the
climate change measure, oil refineries, manufacturers, cement
plants, utilities and other carbon polluters are to begin cutting
their emissions in 2012. Posted.

Change Now" and "We Can't Wait for Climate Action," members of
the coalition 1Sky already have rallied outside the regional

A Couple Of Global Warming Points To Ponder: La La Law And New
Panic. Our favorite global warming quote of the day comes
courtesy this Wall Street Journal headline: Another: A La La Land
climate law ignores economic reality. Why is it so clear to
everyone except the ones pushing it? Oh, yeah. Because they stand
to gain control and your money. Silly question, huh? The second
global warming point to ponder also comes from the Journal today.
It’s a column in which the question is asked: “What’s the next
global warming?” Posted.
