We haven’t talked much about this here, but over the weekend, Margot Roosevelt at the L.A. Times wrote a good overview of the effort to suspect A.B. 32, California’s landmark legislation to address the rise of global greenhouse gases. Since its passage in 2006, the law has been hailed as an example for other state — even nations — to follow. Even thought the state has already begun implementing the law, some feel that it consitutes such a burden on the economy that it should be suspended until unemployment falls to a certain point. Audubon California strongly supports A.B. 32 because we feel that global greenhouse gases present a major threat to birds and other wildlife. We were particularly pleased that the state incorporated natural ecosystems in its plans to reduce greenhouse gases.
