Global Warming Confrontation in California

Mary Nichols, California Air Resources Board Chairman, is confronted by a reporter about the economic effects of implementing California's climate change law. The reporter is citing a study released two days before this press conference by professors Sanjay Varshnay and Dennis H. Tootelian of Sacramento State University. The study argues that the California Air Resources Board's implementation of the law will cost small business in the state nearly $50,000 and families about $3,800. They write, "We conclude that when Californias climate change program, AB 32, is fully implemented, the average annual loss in gross state output from small businesses alone would be $182.6 billion, approximately a 10% loss in total gross state output. This will translate into nearly 1.1 million lost jobs in California. Lost labor income is estimated to be $76.8 billion, with nearly $5.8 billion lost in indirect taxes. This decline in revenues will have a severe impact on future state budgets." The authors blogged the study here:

See i like the fact that in this video she doesn't talk about Global Warming. This lady is a very good public speaker, much better than other government officials. What she does talk about is climate change, effects caused by green house gasses, this is a better representation of what the leading scientists from around the world like to call it, their is a difference between Global warming and climate change.

This is a dishonest question ask by a intellectually impaired conservative.

[DravenWolfe]

CARB are a bunch of Global Warming Nazi bastards... bent on controling our lives here in Cali., our founding fathers must be rolling in their graves. Nichols here fits more in Nazi Germany then the U.S.

She just does what all people do with they don't have an argument. Deny, redirect! She just shakes her head no. ok, so because you shook your head no, i am suppossed to believe you? If i have learned one think lately, its that the government with all their boards and committee are a big waste of time and tax money and they are in WAY OVER THEIR HEAD! Someone needs to send her back to grammer school where she probably was telling everyone what to do also. They nvr grow up!
