Given recent climate frauds, it is clear that partisan ideologies and cultish environmentalism have replaced prudent science and economic realities in climate policy. What is also clear is that environmentalism no longer offers any product or service in support of our future security and prosperity.

The California Majority Report // Mayor Villaraigosa Comes Out Swinging Against AB 32 Repeal

"We are currently in the midst of a global climate change crisis that is not only a threat to our environment, but our economic and job markets as well,” Mayor Villaraigosa said. “Here in California, we have always been leaders and activists and I am deeply proud that we have taken aggressive steps to combat climate change head-on with environmental initiatives and legislation such as AB 32. This piece of legislation spurs innovation, job creation, and reduces public health costs related to climate change while encouraging investment in renewable energy, clean technology and the new green workforce.
