Prop 23 Is All About Saving California’s Economy

The ongoing fight over California’s Assembly Bill 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act, isn’t really about combating climate change. It’s about jobs and profits and — more important — losses.
On Tuesday Californians will vote on Proposition 23, which is dubbed the California Jobs Initiative by its backers and called much less charitable names by its opponents. The purpose of the initiative is to soften the effect of AB 32’s draconian rules and regulations, which are aimed at reducing greenhouse-gas emissions 25 percent by 2020. According to Prop. 23 supporters, those regulations will worsen the state’s already awful economy and raise unemployment even beyond its current desperate level.
The measure would suspend most of the regulations associated with the law until the state’s unemployment rate drops to 5.5 percent or lower for four consecutive quarters. Currently, unemployment in California is holding stubbornly around 12.5 percent. The jobless rate was just 5 percent when the legislature passed the bill in 2006.
Tellingly, the No on 23 campaign has had little to say about how AB 32 would save the planet from the imagined ravages of “global climate disruption.” Instead, opponents, including the Sierra Club, Greenpeace, Bill Gates, and even Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R.), have argued against the initiative on economic terms — scoffing at the threat of unemployment posed by AB 32 while making wildly implausible claims about ”green jobs” and indulging in plenty of business-bashing.
