AB 32: California makes history: caps greenhouse gas emissions

 
CLCV Supported
Passed Senate 23-14 (8/30/06)
Passed Assembly 47-32 (8/31/06)
Signed by the Governor

Washington D.C. fiddles while the world slowly but surely burns from the steady buildup of greenhouse gas emissions. California has taken decisive action on its own. AB 32 (Núñez and Pavley), the Global Warming Solutions Act, phases in a cap on greenhouse gas emissions to reduce them to 1990 levels by 2020, a 20% reduction. California thus becomes a world leader in the fight against global warming and points the way for other states, other countries, and even our own federal government.
