In another crushing blow to environmental whackos, the credibility of those who preach pollution alarm is on the ropes, even in the goofy-left state of California.
As reported, in part, at the reference:
“California grossly miscalculated pollution levels in a scientific analysis used to toughen the state's clean-air standards, and scientists have spent the past several months revising data and planning a significant weakening of the landmark regulation, The Chronicle has found.
The pollution estimate in question was too high - by 340 percent, according to the California Air Resources Board, the state agency charged with researching and adopting air quality standards. The estimate was a key part in the creation of a regulation adopted by the Air Resources Board in 2007, a rule that forces businesses to cut diesel emissions by replacing or making costly upgrades to heavy-duty, diesel-fueled off-road vehicles used in construction and other industries.”
This breaking news story comes just in time for the November 2 election in which California voters will be asked to vote on Proposition 23, the initiative that would shelve AB32, the offending legislation, until state unemployment dips to 5.5%.
The fact that AB32 is, in and of itself, based on polluted data should help California voters make the correct decision.
The correct decision is a resounding YES! On Proposition 23!
