Dear CARB Board,

   To hold California hostage in order to decrease global warming
is simply irresponsible.   This state can't do it alone and
certainly cannot afford it.  No matter how many penalties you put
on Californians, there will be NO measurable decrease in global
temperatures.   Simply none.   But you want Califonians to pay for
it.   On March 4th, the independent Legislative Analyst's Office
said, "California is likely to see modest job losses in the near
term from its aggressive climate change policy due to higher energy
costs and other factors".  Further it said, "We believe that the
aggregate net jobs impact in the near term is likely to be
negative.  Reasons for this include the various economic
dislocations, behavioral adjustments, investment requirements, and
certain other factors."
    California cannot afford further job losses and enforcement of
AB32 will be a disaster for California.  Fortunately the citizens
of California will be able to vote on this in November and finally
put this entire disaster to bed, once and for all.
