SF Chronicle exposes faulty climate test results used to make California policy ahead of Prop 23 vote
Faulty test results were used to influence policy to advance special interests, along with faked scientific credentials, mistakes 'large enough to change policy'. All effect discretionary income and discretionary travel to baseball stadiums. MLB helps as it allows the game to promote carbon trader NRDC who are members of George Soros funded climate pressure group Ceres. The massive climate industry rests on the criminally false assumption that catastrophic man caused global warming exists, and is largely caused by evil US citizens who therefore must pay billions in reparations. Money must be immediate and continue indefinitely to enrich UN grifters, brutal equatorial dictators, billionaire hedge fund thugs and other "stakeholders" with the Chicago Climate Exchange. We must surrender our lives, our families and our sovereignty without question to unelected global thugs.
- They're on the way to stopping our discretionary driving to places like baseball stadiums. Toppling California with the help of politicians was key for the 'climate industry'.
- 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 staff of the powerful and widely respected Air Resources Board said the overestimate is largely due to the board calculating emissions before the economy slumped, which halted the use of many of the 150,000 diesel-exhaust-spewing vehicles in California.
- The announcement was made as The Chronicle was preparing to publish this report, which had been in the works for several weeks.
- Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 - or AB32 as it is commonly called,
- California voters, meanwhile, will vote on Proposition 23, a November initiative to suspend AB32 until the unemployment rate - now at 12.4 percent in California - falls to 5.5 percent or less for a year.
- Nichols' response: "I can't answer that for you."
- Members of Nichols' board don't have an answerfor the overestimate either, said Ron Roberts, an air board member who is a Republican supervisor in San Diego County and who voted in favor of the diesel regulation.
- "There are plenty of excuses but no explanations."" (Again, you should quit or be fired. ed.)
- The construction industry had said the rule would cost construction businesses $10 billion to $12 billion in equipment purchases or upgrades required to make the machines run cleaner."...(Trillions are staked on the death of California based on a fraud. ed.)
- (Everyone wants clean air and public health. This is about something different. ed.)
- One of the major recent problems was an air board estimate of premature deaths caused by particulate matter spewing from diesel engines. The first calculation found 18,000 deaths a year in the state had links to particulate matter. That has been revised down by nearly half.
- Roberts and other board members were not told by Nichols that the scientist, Hien Tran, lied about earning a doctorate from UC Davis
- before they voted in favor of regulations based in part on his science. That vote took place in December 2008.
- (And she still has a job. ed.)
- Top researchers at the air board said they are dealing with complex issues and that their jobs have been made harder because the economic downturn has shut down some of the pollution-emitting machines that were in use in industries like construction and trucking.
- "We've been trying to get the numbers right, and the recession continues to take hold," Sax said, adding that his branch is "constantly re-evaluating" its numbers.
- Their latest estimate for sources of nitrous oxide found that off-road vehicles are burning 228 million gallons of diesel fuel per year.
- Sax said roughly half of that is due to the recession but the other half is due to a revised method of calculation that focuses more directly on the amount of fuel sold instead of estimates about equipment use.
- While air board officials and other defenders of the board's science point to the economy as a major factor in the overestimates,
- "The difference is large enough that it changes policy," Harley said.
- The Air Resources Board acknowledges that the new estimates mean that emitters of the pollution would need to make significantly smaller - and in turn less expensive - changes to their vehicles.
- "I think they're waiting till after November because they are really hoping the election goes one way that's more favorable than another and they would have a freer hand to do what they want to do," said Michael Lewis, president of the Construction Industry Air Quality Coalition, which monitors regulations affecting the industry. The coalition supports Prop. 23 (to suspend AB32), but has not made major donations to the campaign, Lewis said, citing the severe impact of the recession. ...
- Julie Sauls, spokeswoman for the California Trucking Association, said the delay has led to immense confusion in the industry over what regulations companies ultimately will have to comply with and when.
- While the air board has spent the past few months revising its diesel data,
- something else has happened: It has pushed back one of the most controversial parts of AB32 - the cap-and-trade program for carbon emissions.
- Nichols, the air board chairwoman, rejects notions that the air board is avoiding the spotlight, calling the delays the nature of science and adding that, "In politics people can fudge; in science you can't.
- (SF Chronicle): "Dan Kalb, California Policy Manager for the Union of Concerned Scientists, which strongly supports cap-and-trade (and are members of George Soros' funded climate pressure group Ceres) said he is not aware of an orchestrated slowdown of work, but said the board is sensitive to the attention it is receiving....
- It has an 11-member board and a large staff.

- "Criminal activity is not the exception to the rule, but intrinsic to a carbon market."...(3/5/10, EU Observer, 2/1/09, Guardian UK Commentary)
