By Ana Mendoza The Collegian

Concerns about global warming and high unemployment rates collide this November on California’s general election ballot in the form of Proposition 23. The passage of Prop 23 would suspend the implemen- tation of the air pollution control law known as Assembly Bill 32 until unemployment decreases to 5.5 percent. AB 32, also known as the California Global Warming Solution Act, was passed in 2006 and was designed to reduce green- house gas emissions known to cause global warming. “California was very for- ward looking when they passed AB 32, and this is, in a lot of ways, a very cyni- cal attempt to undo all of it in the face of what is already going to be some significant change,“ said Peter Van de Water, Fresno State instructor from earth and environmental Ana Mendoza / The Collegian sciences. Supporters of Prop 23 say “cap-and-trade” legislation will be costly to citizens and that more jobs for the unemployed is a larger priority than climate change “The big crack we face right laws that they say are not effective in preventing global warming.
