the Governor's authority under the Emergency Services
Act.
6. Requires ARB to establish an environmental justice
advisory committee and an economic and technology
advisory committee for the purposes of advising ARB on
implementation of the bill's provisions, and specifies
appointment processes and procedures for those
committees.
7. Provides that if the regulations adopted pursuant to AB
1493 (Pavley), Chapter 200, Statutes of 2002, to reduce
GHG emissions from vehicular sources do not remain in
effect, ARB shall adopt alternative regulations that
achieve the equivalent or greater reductions.
8. Requires all state agencies to consider and implement
GHG emission reduction strategies, and provides that
nothing in the bill affects the authority of any other
state agency to reduce GHG emissions, the authority of
air districts, the authority of the Public Utilities
Commission, or utilities' obligation to provide electric
serves.
9. Authorizes ARB to adopt a schedule of fees to pay for
AB 32
Page
5
the costs of implementing the program established
pursuant to the bill's provisions.
10.Provides that the provisions of the bill are severable.
11.Makes detailed findings and declarations relative to the
economic and environmental effects of global warming and
climate change.
12.Establishes definitions of terms used under the bill.
Comments
According to the Senate Environmental Quality Committee
analysis, there is broad scientific consensus that rising
concentrations of GHG emissions in the atmosphere are
resulting in climate changes that will continue to
accelerate during this century. A statement in June 2006,
from the Attorney General's Office, provides a succinct
statement about the perceived threats from global warming.
The statement was provided in support of the Public Utility
Commission's promulgating a rule to integrate GHG emission
standards into procurement policies and included the
following findings:
"?the best available science establishes that
GHG-induced climate change is occurring and is fast
approaching a critical 'tipping point' and that
California has a substantial stake in taking every
possible action at the earliest juncture to mitigate
the potentially devastating impacts - economic as well
as environmental - of climate change?
"Impacts from anthropogenic CO2 emissions that have
occurred, are occurring, and will occur, include:
temperature increases, heat waves, loss of Artic ice
and habitat, loss of Antarctic ice, melting of glaciers
and related glacial lake outburst flows, loss of
snowpack in California and elsewhere, changes in
precipitation patterns, increased hurricane intensity,
sea level rise and coastal flooding, public health
harms such as increased heat-related illness and smog,
harm to habitats, and the potential for substantial
social upheaval resulting from significant
AB 32
Page
6
environmental changes. ?[a one meter sea level rise
threatens $48 billion of commercial, industrial, and
residential structures in the San Francisco Bay]?
"In litigation between the automakers and the State of
California, the automakers have challenged the
authority of the State to regulate greenhouse gases
from mobile sources. In response to the automakers
claims, the State has gathered declarations from some
of the world's leading climate scientists concerning
impacts of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions on
climate broadly and on California in particular. Many
of these declarations, which starkly establishes the
threat to the world and to California:
"At the same time as climate change is likely to cause
a significant reduction in California's effective water
supply, it is also likely to cause an increase in
California's demand for water because of the sharp
increase in summertime temperatures.
"The effects of global warming are already observed in
the decrease in snow water equivalent and in the
earlier snowmelt and streamflow timing of the past
several decades.
"Climate change will increase global sea levels?Sea
level rise will have two effects (a) ?increase the
intrusion of salt water [into the Sacramento delta];
and (b) increase water levels in the channels [of the
Delta] and so threaten the integrity of the levees in
the Delta.
"The findings strongly suggest that a climate change
consistent with any of the four [commonly employed]
climate projections?will lead to a significant increase
in heat-related deaths. This increase will number in
the thousands for the five California cities [Fresno,
Los Angeles, Riverside, Sacramento and San Francisco]
over a period of a decade.
"If additional human-made global warming (above that in
2000) is so large, say 2-3 degrees C, that the expected
equilibrium (long-term) sea level rise is of the order
AB 32
Page

of 25 meters, there would be a potential for a
continually unfolding planetary disaster of monstrous
proportions."
Background
In June 2005, the Governor issued an executive order that
established the following GHG emission reduction targets
for the state:
By 2010, reduce GHG emissions to year 2000 levels.
By 2020, reduce GHG emissions to year 1990 levels.
By 2050, reduce GHG emissions to 80 percent below year 1990
levels.
As noted in a report by the Legislative Analyst, between
1990 and 2000, annual California GHG emissions increased by
approximately 13 percent, from about 396 million metric
tons in 1990 to 449 million metric tons in 2000. The
Governor's Climate Action Team has estimated that achieving
the Governor's GHG reduction targets for 2010 and 2020 will
result in GHG emissions that are 11 percent and 29 percent,
respectively, below that which would otherwise occur
according to "business as usual".
The initial draft of recommendations drafted by the Climate
Action Team included four actions essential to meeting the
Governor's GHG reduction goals:
1. Require climate change emissions reporting from all
emitters of GHGs, starting with the largest emitters.
2. Levy fees on gasoline and diesel sales to reduce demand
for these fuels and to fund promotion of alternative,
cleaner fuels.
3. Coordinate state investment funds to reward industry
development of emission reduction technologies.
4. Encourage companies to take early action to reduce their
climate change emissions in anticipation of subsequent
state, federal, or international emissions reduction
programs.
