BY 2020, 30% REDUCTION TO 1990 LEVELSBY 2050, 80% REDUCTION TO 1990 LEVELS
2004 Total Ag GHG Emissions in 2004 Total Ag GHG Emissions in CACA

1990 Baseline Emissions: 23.4 MMTCO2E (5% of Statewide total)
2004 Baseline Emissions: 27.9 MMTCO2E (6% of Statewide total)
2020 Preliminary Forecasted Emissions: 31.9 MMTCO2E
AB 32 Advisory CommitteesMarket - create market-based compliance mechanisms for reducing GHG emissions
Environmental Justice - reduce GHG emissions while maximizing the overall societal, economic, environmental, and public health benefits
Economic Technology Advancement - activities that will facilitate investment in and implementation of technological research and development opportunities that will assist in GHG emission reductions
Economic and Allocation – evaluate different allowance allocation strategies and how to structure a cap-and-trade system that will reduce GHG emissions

Campaign to Defeat the Dirty Energy Proposition
Passage would effectively repeal Assembly Bill 32 (clean energy and air pollution reduction law)
Claim that it’s simply a “suspension” is deceptive and untrue
“Suspend until unemployment reaches 5.5% for full year”
Unemployment only at that arbitrarily low point 3 times in last 3 decades
SAVE A MILLION JOBS AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS
AB 32 = A Million Lost Jobs, Billions in Higher Energy and Other Costs
Won’t Make a Difference in Global Warming
