Katherine Ellison: California Climate Law Faces Opposition

Four years after California’s Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed off on the nation’s furthest-reaching global-warming law, a campaign is heating up to keep it from taking effect.

In the latest salvo, Dan Logue, a Republican assemblyman, has announced that he will start collecting signatures next month in support of a November 2010 ballot initiative that would suspend the law until California’s unemployment rate drops below 5.5 percent.

Currently, the state’s unemployment rate is above 12 percent.

“Whether global warming is in fact caused by humans or by natural processes,” Mr. Logue’s Web site states, California’s global warming law is “ineffective and counterproductive.”
