Fiorina says Calif. climate law is killing jobs

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — GOP Senate candidate Carly Fiorina appeared on a national cable news show Wednesday asserting that California’s law to fight global warming is killing jobs, but a review shows its economic effects remain uncertain.

In an interview on CNBC’s “Closing Bell,” Fiorina said she is trying to unseat Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer in part because of the lawmaker’s push for federal greenhouse gas legislation inspired by California’s 2006 climate law, called the Global Warming Solutions Act but commonly referred to as AB32.

‘The thing about green issues, like global warming, is that you can’t always see them,’ says Lily, explaining her support for the cause on our minibus journey into the forest. ‘I mean, it’s not pulling at your heartstrings like watching news pictures from Haiti, or Comic Relief…there are no starving babies that we can cry about, knowing that if we donate money they might get fed. But the crisis faced is just as huge, which is why I’ve come over here. To give it attention.’

How many Carbon Taxes are Enough?

Firstly, coal companies pay the same federal profit-based corporate tax that every other company pays, at the same rate.

Secondly, every coal miner must pay “Coal Royalties” to state governments who own the mineral resources. Coal royalties are payable even if the mine makes a loss. All mining companies pay royalties.

Thirdly, if the current federal proposals become law, coal, iron and gas companies will pay an additional profit-based “resource rent tax” to the Federal Government.

Yet global warming alarmists are calling for still more carbon taxes.
