Editorial: Global warming challenge
The possibility of suspending California’s Global Warming Solutions Act, a law unlikely to change temperatures but certain to wreak economic havoc, appears to have increased dramatically.
Two large Texas-based refineries have pledged as much as $2 million to pay for signature-gathering to place an initiative on the November ballot that would suspend the global warming law if passed by voters, the Los Angeles Times reported, citing Sacramento sources.
California refineries of the two companies, Valero Energy Corp. and Tesoro Corp., would be forced to slash greenhouse gas emissions. But the initiative would delay implementation until unemployment level drops to 5.5 percent for at least a year. Unemployment is now at 12.4 percent.
The last thing California needs is an unnecessary law that drives up costs for businesses, prices for consumers and could send many of both fleeing the state.

For myself, I can’t understand why anyone would stay in California. Between the economic chaos, the heat, the pollution and the crime… I’ll pass!

Please don’t anyone tell Gord Campbell – the ‘Terminater’s’ pal in B.C. – he will fly down to California and get in the booze and then anything could happen – he could derail the whole AGW hoax! Think of the children!
