California is attempting to reset the climate clock: have you read or do you plan to read the 132 page report?
June 8th, 2010
The state has issued its plan to slash greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels. The plan would require shrinking the per capita carbon footprint of Californians by an average of four tons per year, using more efficient buildings and appliances, and reducing miles driven by clamping down on urban sprawl. Auto manufacturers would be driven to make cleaner cars, and utilities would need to turn to solar and wind to hike energy efficiency levels.
Your thoughts?

I read about that I dont think i would read the entire report But i would definitely scan through it I live in chicago So the polution isnt as bad as it is in california But i believe every state country and nation should be working together to get our home back in order Its getting way beyond out of control Theres so many ways we can all help our environment Even if each and every person only did one thing different in their everyday lives to make it better would be a huge difference But so many people are too busy in their everyday lives to care I think they should make some things mandatory Like recycling Except that would entirely go against my beliefs about everyone having free will But shit The way our governments been handling the economy and they way theyve been taking away so many of our god giving rights It would actually would be a step in the right direction It seems as if America is becoming more and more communist by the day At least this way it would show that they care more for us and saving our planet then making extra money
It will do very little as every single emissions restrictions law previously has failed because they will not attack the real cause. The only way to solve this problem is to cut down the mountains that surround the region. The documents of the original journey of father Serra into what would become Los Angeles.

It was documented and recorded that it was almost impossible to see more than a mile or so because of the low climate ceiling that kept the smoke from cooking fires being dispersed and the air tended to burn the eyes and make it hard to breath on many days. And this was in the 1760s when there were probably only a couple of dozen European priests in the whole state.
I am not sure this is the ideal step to reverse the effects of global warming, but the State was the first to reduce pollution from cars back in the 60’s and the nation followed. I support their efforts. I will wait to see each step before deciding how to vote. We do come up with hair brained schemes from time to time.
I’ll move to Oregon!
If you have ever driven through Los Angeles in the middle of August you can’t see the buildings on the side of the freeway due to all the crap in the air.
So this reducing the greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels mean jack squat.
It’s like swimming in the ocean. If the water you are in is 500 feet deep so obviously you can drown. But if you swim 10 yards to your right the water is only 450 feet deep.
Same thing here.
The 1990 emissions levels are probably HIGHER than the ones today so I don’t see how this is going to be any benefit whatsoever.
But it is California. The Liberal Loon capital of the world.
I think they should use more nuclear power plants, since they generate more energy than Solar and Wind combined. Besides isn’t a lot of the desert land in California protected state park land?
