So you deny that human CO2 emissions cause climate change?
Yes.
Which is rational, but relies on flawed premises.
Cap-and-trade has been a sham over in the EU, with failures to meet goals as well as eastern European states benefitting from the shutdown of Soviet-era factories. In any case, European manufacturing has been moving offshore as well. Yes, they suffer from their lack of competitiveness.
And does anyone really believe that these kinds of schemes will establish a long-term green manufacturing industry in the US? The plants are in China because we're not competitive without subsidies.
tl;dr: CA government = fail government
