Whether one is a skeptic that man-made carbon emissions are killing our planet, or a dyed-in-the-wool Al Gore believer in the carbon dioxide phenomenon, you should be very concerned about the California Air Resources Board's recent adoption of the cap-and-trade rules designed to help the state comply with AB 32, the greenhouse gas emission reduction law that required carbon emissions be cut to 1990 levels by 2020.
Cap and trade represents just one tool that CARB is employing to comply with AB 32 and California will soon be the first state in the nation to limit emissions from electric utilities, transportation, major manufacturers and many other industries.
