CA pop 23 is pretty clever

Current Events

Proposition 23 is a California ballot proposition which will be on the November 2, 2010 California statewide ballot[1]

If it passes, it will suspend AB 32, a law enacted in 2006 that is in extenso, legally referred to as the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006.[2] Sponsors of the initiative refer to their measure as the California Jobs Initiative while opponents have called it the Dirty Energy Prop[3].

The goal of the proposition is to freeze the provisions of AB 32 until California's unemployment rate drops to 5.5% or below for four consecutive quarters. As the current rate is 12.4%, this wording is seen by Arnold Schwarzenegger and others as a wording trick to delay the environmental regulations indefinitely[4]. AB 32 requires that greenhouse emission levels in the state be cut to 1990 levels by 2020, in a gradual process of cutting that is slated to begin in 2012.[5] Reducing greenhouse emission levels to 1990 levels will involve cutting them by about 15% from 2010 levels.

am I damned if I vote "no" on Prop 23 here in CA. Can somebody please explain it to me like I'm a 6-year old. I am not afraid to say I can't wrap my head around this prop--it sounds tricky and I am very much against the climate change/global warming BS that says it is the fault of human activity and/or controllable by govt. voodoo accompanied by cap-and-trade type taxation raising energy costs. Help!

Well,

since the whole "greenhouse gas" thing is all a bunch of total BS, then I say just scrap the whole concept, and get rid of the EPA while we're at it.
