Your efforts to help California take a leadership role in reducing
pollution and protecting the environment are admirable and
appreciated. However when it comes to Global Warming the very term
defines the scope, global, and without uniform action by the number
one emitter of Global Warming emissions (CO2e) all of California’s
actions are overshadowed by China’s wonton disregard for the
environment.

Please do not take any more steps to reduce emissions in California
without 1, agreement at the National level that every state and the
District of Columbia will agree to these new standards (hence a
national policy better developed by the EPA and DOE) and 2, that
these new standards are International in scope with China, India,
Russia, Brazil, Indonesia, and the EU all signatures thereto.

Without such agreement there is little to no incentive for
California’s taxpayers, ratepayers, and businesses to support a
unilateral tax on emissions. This one-sided enforcement creates a
situation where Californians are asked to start bailing water on
the Titanic while the rest of the world is still partying.
