California's global-warming law Under Attack
Source: ENN, Los Angeles Times, Environmental Health News, Date: , 2010
Republican
politicians and conservative activists are launching a ballot campaign
to suspend California's landmark global-warming law, in what they hope
will serve as a showcase for a national backlash against climate
regulations. Supporters say they have "solid
commitments" of nearly $600,000 to pay signature gatherers for a
November initiative aimed at delaying curbs on the greenhouse gas
emissions of power plants and factories until the state's unemployment
rate drops. GOP gubernatorial candidates and Tea
Party organizers paint the 2006 law, considered a model for other state
and federal efforts, as a job-killing interference in the economy. Talk
radio is flailing at what John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou, drive-time
hosts on a Los Angeles radio station, call "the global-warming final
solution act" promoted by "fascist, Nazi" officials.
