Funneling data into seven current climate models shows that the most extreme of these events will increase by half or even double in size. “Extreme-season” years in which we would see ten or twenty of these storms also increases by about 50 percent from mid-century on.

Along California’s coast, both north and south, heat will become more extreme and more frequent, he says, with even the nights staying warmer and becoming more humid (this would appear to run counter to other projections of at least a medium-range “\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/climatewatch/2011/09/16/california-dodges-summer-from-hell/\">coastal cooling\u003c/a>” trend but Gershunov was talking specifically about conditions during heat waves). Gershunov also recapped the “high-confidence” projection of more frequent and more intense droughts for the state, with the southern two-thirds of California even more prone but with the northern end of the state possibly becoming wetter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fire danger is increasing dramatically, according to Tony Westerling from UC/Merced. Using a mid-range model for greenhouse gas emissions (one that the world is already on track to exceed), Westerling is showing that the likelihood of intense fire seasons — like the 11 major fires in 1987 — increases 18 times by the end of the century. And until researchers can put the variable of lightning strikes into the climate models — a big factor in the 1987 fire season — the estimate of an 18-fold increase is probably on the low side, says Westerling.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n\u003cp>By 2100, “the whole summer will look like what the ten worst days look like now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>UC Berkeley Economist Max Auffhammer cast those heat-and-fire projections against the state’s utilities and their transmission lines. During the increasing number of extremely hot days, natural gas plants could see a “peak supply loss” of about 4 percent, and a drop of one-to-two percent in transmission efficiency on their lines. Under the climate change model that we’re now on track to hit, the Central Valley and the southeast corner of California could see a 50% increase in electricity demand by 2100. By then, “the whole summer will look like what the ten worst days look like now,” said Aufhammer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Environment and economy specialist Michael Haneman, also of UC Berkeley, says it may help cities and counties to apply the mathematical tools of risk management, like those used by insurance companies, to these extreme events. Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP) commissioner Jonathan Parfrey found “incredibly important information” to take home to the southern California utility. For instance, the DWP was forecasting a decrease in power demand because of increased efficiency — but the forecast he heard yesterday was for a 50% increase. Parfrey would like to hear more. ‘It’s also fascinating to hear that hotter days actually impact even the generation of electricity (as well as demand). It’s something that we have to look at.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The full agenda for Governor Brown’s conference in San Francisco is \u003ca href=\"http://bit.ly/tfcxzZ\">available as a PDF download\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Using a mid-range model for greenhouse gas emissions (one that the world is already on track to exceed), Westerling is showing that the likelihood of intense fire seasons — like the 11 major fires in 1987 — increases 18 times by the end of the century. And until researchers can put the variable of lightning strikes into the climate models — a big factor in the 1987 fire season — the estimate of an 18-fold increase is probably on the low side, says Westerling.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n\u003cp>By 2100, “the whole summer will look like what the ten worst days look like now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>UC Berkeley Economist Max Auffhammer cast those heat-and-fire projections against the state’s utilities and their transmission lines. During the increasing number of extremely hot days, natural gas plants could see a “peak supply loss” of about 4 percent, and a drop of one-to-two percent in transmission efficiency on their lines. Under the climate change model that we’re now on track to hit, the Central Valley and the southeast corner of California could see a 50% increase in electricity demand by 2100. By then, “the whole summer will look like what the ten worst days look like now,” said Aufhammer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Environment and economy specialist Michael Haneman, also of UC Berkeley, says it may help cities and counties to apply the mathematical tools of risk management, like those used by insurance companies, to these extreme events. Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP) commissioner Jonathan Parfrey found “incredibly important information” to take home to the southern California utility. For instance, the DWP was forecasting a decrease in power demand because of increased efficiency — but the forecast he heard yesterday was for a 50% increase. Parfrey would like to hear more. ‘It’s also fascinating to hear that hotter days actually impact even the generation of electricity (as well as demand).

He pursued long-held skeptic theories in analyzing the data. He was spurred to action because of “Climategate,” a British scandal involving hacked emails of scientists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet he found that the land is 1.6 degrees warmer than in the 1950s. Those numbers from Muller, who \u003ca href=\"http://www.physics.berkeley.edu/research/faculty/muller.html\">works at the University of California, Berkeley\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://muller.lbl.gov/\">Lawrence Berkeley National Lab\u003c/a>, match those by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and NASA. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he went even further back, studying readings from Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson. His ultimate finding of a warming world, to be presented at a conference Monday, is no different from what mainstream climate scientists have been saying for decades. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What’s different, and why everyone from opinion columnists to “The Daily Show” is paying attention is who is behind the study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One-quarter of the $600,000 to do the research came from the Charles Koch Foundation, whose founder is a major funder of skeptic groups and the tea party. The Koch brothers, Charles and David, run a large privately held company involved in oil and other industries, producing sizable greenhouse gas emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muller’s research team carefully examined two chief criticisms by skeptics. One is that weather stations are unreliable; the other is that cities, which create heat islands, were skewing the temperature analysis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The skeptics raised valid points and everybody should have been a skeptic two years ago,” Muller said in a telephone interview. “And now we have confidence that the temperature rise that had previously been reported had been done without bias.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muller said that he came into the study “with a proper skepticism,” something scientists “should always have. I was somewhat bothered by the fact that there was not enough skepticism” before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is no reason now to be a skeptic about steadily increasing temperatures, Muller wrote recently in The Wall Street Journal’s editorial pages, a place friendly to skeptics. Muller did not address in his research the cause of global warming. The overwhelming majority of climate scientists say it’s man-made from the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil. Nor did his study look at ocean warming, future warming and how much of a threat to mankind climate change might be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Muller said it makes sense to reduce the carbon dioxide created by fossil fuels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Greenhouse gases could have a disastrous impact on the world,” he said. Still, he contends that threat is not as proven as the Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says it is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, Muller was taking his results — four separate papers that are not yet published or peer-reviewed, but will be, he says — to a conference in Santa Fe, N.M., expected to include many prominent skeptics as well as mainstream scientists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Of course he’ll be welcome,” said Petr Chylek of Los Alamos National Lab, a noted skeptic and the conference organizer. “The purpose of our conference is to bring people with different views on climate together, so they can talk and clarify things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shawn Lawrence Otto, author of the book “Fool Me Twice” that criticizes science skeptics, said Muller should expect to be harshly treated by global warming deniers. “Now he’s considered a traitor. For the skeptic community, this isn’t about data or fact. It’s about team sports. He’s been traded to the Indians. He’s playing for the wrong team now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that started on Sunday, when a British newspaper said one of Muller’s co-authors, Georgia Tech climate scientist Judith Curry, accused Muller of another Climategate-like scandal and trying to “hide the decline” of recent global temperatures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Associated Press contacted Curry on Sunday afternoon and she said in an email that Muller and colleagues “are not hiding any data or otherwise engaging in any scientifically questionable practice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Muller “results unambiguously show an increase in surface temperature since 1960,” Curry wrote Sunday. She said she disagreed with Muller’s public relations efforts and some public comments from Muller about there no longer being a need for skepticism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muller’s study found that skeptics’ concerns about poor weather station quality didn’t skew the results of his analysis because temperature increases rose similarly in reliable and unreliable weather stations.

The Koch brothers, Charles and David, run a large privately held company involved in oil and other industries, producing sizable greenhouse gas emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muller’s research team carefully examined two chief criticisms by skeptics. One is that weather stations are unreliable; the other is that cities, which create heat islands, were skewing the temperature analysis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The skeptics raised valid points and everybody should have been a skeptic two years ago,” Muller said in a telephone interview. “And now we have confidence that the temperature rise that had previously been reported had been done without bias.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muller said that he came into the study “with a proper skepticism,” something scientists “should always have. I was somewhat bothered by the fact that there was not enough skepticism” before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is no reason now to be a skeptic about steadily increasing temperatures, Muller wrote recently in The Wall Street Journal’s editorial pages, a place friendly to skeptics. Muller did not address in his research the cause of global warming. The overwhelming majority of climate scientists say it’s man-made from the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil. Nor did his study look at ocean warming, future warming and how much of a threat to mankind climate change might be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Muller said it makes sense to reduce the carbon dioxide created by fossil fuels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Greenhouse gases could have a disastrous impact on the world,” he said. Still, he contends that threat is not as proven as the Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says it is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, Muller was taking his results — four separate papers that are not yet published or peer-reviewed, but will be, he says — to a conference in Santa Fe, N.M., expected to include many prominent skeptics as well as mainstream scientists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Of course he’ll be welcome,” said Petr Chylek of Los Alamos National Lab, a noted skeptic and the conference organizer. “The purpose of our conference is to bring people with different views on climate together, so they can talk and clarify things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shawn Lawrence Otto, author of the book “Fool Me Twice” that criticizes science skeptics, said Muller should expect to be harshly treated by global warming deniers. “Now he’s considered a traitor. For the skeptic community, this isn’t about data or fact. It’s about team sports. He’s been traded to the Indians. He’s playing for the wrong team now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that started on Sunday, when a British newspaper said one of Muller’s co-authors, Georgia Tech climate scientist Judith Curry, accused Muller of another Climategate-like scandal and trying to “hide the decline” of recent global temperatures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Associated Press contacted Curry on Sunday afternoon and she said in an email that Muller and colleagues “are not hiding any data or otherwise engaging in any scientifically questionable practice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Muller “results unambiguously show an increase in surface temperature since 1960,” Curry wrote Sunday. She said she disagreed with Muller’s public relations efforts and some public comments from Muller about there no longer being a need for skepticism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muller’s study found that skeptics’ concerns about poor weather station quality didn’t skew the results of his analysis because temperature increases rose similarly in reliable and unreliable weather stations. He also found that while there is an urban heat island effect making cities warmer, rural areas, which are more abundant, are warming, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among many climate scientists, the reaction was somewhat of a yawn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“After lots of work he found exactly what was already known and accepted in the climate community,” said Jerry North, a Texas A&M University atmospheric sciences professor who headed a National Academy of Sciences climate science review in 2006. “I am hoping their study will have a positive impact.

The reason, Schladow thinks, is that the surface waters of the lake have gotten warmer with climate change. Warmer water is lighter than the cold, dense water at the bottom of the lake.

The SPUR report says that means more than 186 miles of major roads (including I-80, I-880, U.S. 101, Highway 37, I-680, and Highway 12), more than 105 miles of regional rail track, and 93% of Oakland Airport and SFO property will be vulnerable to flooding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That transportation infrastructure is the lifeblood of what makes our economy work,” said Travis. “We need that mobility, so we’re going to have to be retrofitting those facilities to make sure that they don’t go underwater.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report recommends agencies conduct a comprehensive transportation vulnerability assessment, design resilient new transportation projects, and develop emergency transportation alternatives for cases of extreme weather events.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report is dense and detailed, and it’s a sobering look at exactly how much needs to be done to prepare for what many state and regional agencies agree is likely on its way. Odds are, none of this will be cheap. And yet, according to SPUR’s Laura Tam, beginning to deal with climate change impacts now could save money as well as lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we don’t start planning ahead and preparing, we will end up dealing with crises that emerge as emergencies, and we don’t want to be in the position of having to respond to climate emergencies,” she said. “We want to know what to expect, and be prepared, so that the least amount of property is damaged and the least amount of people suffer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Gretchen Weber is the Multimedia Producer of \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/climatewatch/\">Climate Watch\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The companies would then be free to sell those credits on the new carbon trading exchange. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>ORIGINAL POST\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nThe California Air Resources Board is \u003ca href=\"http://www.cal-span.org/State_Webcast/CARB/stream_index.htm\">\u003cstrong>meeting\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> today and tomorrow and is widely expected to \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/business/ci_16868556\">adopt proposed regulations\u003c/a> from its staff that include a cap-and-trade carbon-trading system. The regulations are part of the state’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/ab32/ab32.htm\">AB 32\u003c/a> law, which aims to cut greenhouse gases to 1990 levels by 2020. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can \u003ca href=\"http://www.cal-span.org/State_Webcast/CARB/stream_index.htm\">\u003cstrong>watch the meeting live \u003c/strong>\u003c/a> or catch up on the story by listening to KQED’s Craig Miller on \u003ca href=\"http://www.californiareport.org/archive/R201012160850/a\">The California Report\u003c/a>. Miller, the Senior Editor of KQED’s Climate Watch, is \u003ca href=\"http://twitter.com/#!/voxterra\">tweeting\u003c/a> live from the CARB proceedings, and has also put up a \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/climatewatch/2010/12/15/lonely-road-for-cap-and-trade/\">post\u003c/a> explaining the new carbon trading system, excerpted below:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\n…while Washington is “looking for other means” to reduce the carbon emissions that cause global warming, the table is set for cap & trade in California. By day’s end Thursday, the state will likely have the nation’s first system that covers more than electric utilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the California Air Resources Board formally adopts a set of proposed regulations from its staff, as expected, then starting in early 2012, major emitters of greenhouse gases will come under the program. That ‘s anything that puts out more than 25,000 tonnes of C02 per year; we’re talking power plants, cement kilns, glass factories and of course, oil refineries, where carbon emissions are measured in the millions of metric tons per year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2015 the program will expand and follow these oil and gas products downstream; that means producers will have to account–and eventually pay for–not just the emissions from drilling and refining, but for that carbon produced when the fuel actually gets burned in trains and planes and automobiles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I say “eventually” because the pay-to-play part doesn’t really kick in right away. At first, the state will give away 90% of emissions permits. That will help ease the transition for industry and, in theory, keep companies from fleeing California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jamie Fine, a policy watcher with the Environmental Defense Fund in Sacramento, figures that by 2015, more than half the carbon permits will be auctioned off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Last month, after the proposed rules were released, I interviewed Miller about them, as well as about \u003ca href=\"http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/California_Proposition_23_%282010%29\">Proposition 23\u003c/a>, the failed voter initiative to suspend the anti-global warming law until the jobless rate vastly improved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>QUESTION\u003cbr>\nJust before the election, the California Air Resources Board released its plan to implement AB 32. Can you summarize the plan, including the cap and trade component?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CRAIG MILLER\u003cbr>\nThe CARB staff is recommending that the state start meting out “allowances” (permits to emit carbon) in February of 2012, starting with electrical utilities and “large industrial” emitters, like oil refineries and cement plants. At first, 90% of the permits will be given away, as a nod to the current tough economic environment. In later years, the state will auction off a portion of the permits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each year the cap on total emissions shrinks a bit to attain the CO2 reduction goals of AB 32. The whole thing is up for public comment now. Board approval is expected at the December 16th meeting. Here’s a downloadable PDF overview of the whole program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>QUESTION\u003cbr>\nIn the San Jose Mercury News, both the Natural Resources Defense Council and industry officials reported they were pleased with the rules. So has CARB hit that sweet spot where both sides are happy? What am I missing here?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CRAIG MILLER\u003cbr>\nFunny you should put it that way. “Sweet spot” is exactly the term used by Jamie Fine, a policy analyst with the Environmental Defense Fund in Sacramento. He told me he thinks the state has done a good job of finding that happy zone that serves the twin goals of achieving eventual carbon reductions and protecting the state’s economy from an ill-timed hit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s true that many environmentalists were pushing for a “100% auction” of permits but CARB staffers have been saying for months that that wasn’t a realistic way to start. Fine figures that more than half the permits will be auctioned by 2015 and he’s happy with that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>QUESTION\u003cbr>\nDo you think there was some political motivation to releasing the rules the Friday before the vote on Prop 23?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CRAIG MILLER\u003cbr>\nSeems logical, as there was a chance there to show that full implementation of AB 32 wouldn’t be a job killer. But they also needed 45 days for public comment before the December board meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>QUESTION\u003cbr>\nWhat exactly did Valero and Tesoro have at stake so that they bankrolled Prop 23? And why did the really prominent big oil companies stay out of the fight?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CRAIG MILLER\u003cbr>\nFor oil companies with major refining operations in California, tens of millions of dollars per year were on the line, in potential permit fees and upgrades to facilities. Valero, the nation’s largest refiner and biggest donor to Prop 23, estimated that AB 32 would cost the company $75 million. Both Valero and Tesoro have refineries in California, including Tesoro’s largest. We’ve mapped the state’s biggest industrial carbon emitters:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m not an oil industry analyst but the major oil companies can use profits from their “upstream” operations—their crude oil fields, basically—to offset the cost of AB 32. Valero & Tesoro are just refiners and are seeing their margins squeezed more than the big, vertically integrated players. It’s worth noting that Occidental, an LA-based oil company, was also a large donor to Prop 23.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>QUESTION\u003cbr>\nReports indicated that a lot of money was switched from going to Prop 23 to Prop 26 when it became clear 23 would not pass. How will Prop 26 impact AB 32? Will the state find it hard or impossible to institute fees necessary to implement the new rules?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CRAIG MILLER\u003cbr>\nWe don’t know yet. But toward the end of the campaign, it was “the elephant in the room” that the No-on-23 people weren’t really talking about. CARB’s position is that Prop 26—having passed—will not affect any fees authorized by AB 32, which passed in 2006. Others say it’s not that clear-cut. Stay tuned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>QUESTION\u003cbr>\nAny other important issues related to AB 32?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CRAIG MILLER\u003cbr>\nUnsettled is exactly what will happen with the Western Climate Initiative, the nascent attempt at a regional carbon trading partnership between California and several other states and Canadian provinces. Recently it has seemed that only New Mexico and Quebec were really ready to move forward with WCI. Arizona has pulled out of the cap-and-trade plan. Other states are in limbo, still participating on paper but without the necessary enabling legislation. We may find out more from this week’s climate “summit” that Governor Schwarzenegger is hosting in Davis.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The companies would then be free to sell those credits on the new carbon trading exchange. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>ORIGINAL POST\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nThe California Air Resources Board is \u003ca href=\"http://www.cal-span.org/State_Webcast/CARB/stream_index.htm\">\u003cstrong>meeting\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> today and tomorrow and is widely expected to \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/business/ci_16868556\">adopt proposed regulations\u003c/a> from its staff that include a cap-and-trade carbon-trading system. The regulations are part of the state’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/ab32/ab32.htm\">AB 32\u003c/a> law, which aims to cut greenhouse gases to 1990 levels by 2020. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can \u003ca href=\"http://www.cal-span.org/State_Webcast/CARB/stream_index.htm\">\u003cstrong>watch the meeting live \u003c/strong>\u003c/a> or catch up on the story by listening to KQED’s Craig Miller on \u003ca href=\"http://www.californiareport.org/archive/R201012160850/a\">The California Report\u003c/a>. Miller, the Senior Editor of KQED’s Climate Watch, is \u003ca href=\"http://twitter.com/#!/voxterra\">tweeting\u003c/a> live from the CARB proceedings, and has also put up a \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/climatewatch/2010/12/15/lonely-road-for-cap-and-trade/\">post\u003c/a> explaining the new carbon trading system, excerpted below:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\n…while Washington is “looking for other means” to reduce the carbon emissions that cause global warming, the table is set for cap & trade in California. By day’s end Thursday, the state will likely have the nation’s first system that covers more than electric utilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the California Air Resources Board formally adopts a set of proposed regulations from its staff, as expected, then starting in early 2012, major emitters of greenhouse gases will come under the program. That ‘s anything that puts out more than 25,000 tonnes of C02 per year; we’re talking power plants, cement kilns, glass factories and of course, oil refineries, where carbon emissions are measured in the millions of metric tons per year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2015 the program will expand and follow these oil and gas products downstream; that means producers will have to account–and eventually pay for–not just the emissions from drilling and refining, but for that carbon produced when the fuel actually gets burned in trains and planes and automobiles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I say “eventually” because the pay-to-play part doesn’t really kick in right away. At first, the state will give away 90% of emissions permits. That will help ease the transition for industry and, in theory, keep companies from fleeing California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jamie Fine, a policy watcher with the Environmental Defense Fund in Sacramento, figures that by 2015, more than half the carbon permits will be auctioned off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Last month, after the proposed rules were released, I interviewed Miller about them, as well as about \u003ca href=\"http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/California_Proposition_23_%282010%29\">Proposition 23\u003c/a>, the failed voter initiative to suspend the anti-global warming law until the jobless rate vastly improved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>QUESTION\u003cbr>\nJust before the election, the California Air Resources Board released its plan to implement AB 32. Can you summarize the plan, including the cap and trade component?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

At first, 90% of the permits will be given away, as a nod to the current tough economic environment. In later years, the state will auction off a portion of the permits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each year the cap on total emissions shrinks a bit to attain the CO2 reduction goals of AB 32. The whole thing is up for public comment now. Board approval is expected at the December 16th meeting. Here’s a downloadable PDF overview of the whole program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>QUESTION\u003cbr>\nIn the San Jose Mercury News, both the Natural Resources Defense Council and industry officials reported they were pleased with the rules. So has CARB hit that sweet spot where both sides are happy? What am I missing here?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CRAIG MILLER\u003cbr>\nFunny you should put it that way. “Sweet spot” is exactly the term used by Jamie Fine, a policy analyst with the Environmental Defense Fund in Sacramento. He told me he thinks the state has done a good job of finding that happy zone that serves the twin goals of achieving eventual carbon reductions and protecting the state’s economy from an ill-timed hit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s true that many environmentalists were pushing for a “100% auction” of permits but CARB staffers have been saying for months that that wasn’t a realistic way to start. Fine figures that more than half the permits will be auctioned by 2015 and he’s happy with that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>QUESTION\u003cbr>\nDo you think there was some political motivation to releasing the rules the Friday before the vote on Prop 23?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CRAIG MILLER\u003cbr>\nSeems logical, as there was a chance there to show that full implementation of AB 32 wouldn’t be a job killer. But they also needed 45 days for public comment before the December board meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>QUESTION\u003cbr>\nWhat exactly did Valero and Tesoro have at stake so that they bankrolled Prop 23? And why did the really prominent big oil companies stay out of the fight?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CRAIG MILLER\u003cbr>\nFor oil companies with major refining operations in California, tens of millions of dollars per year were on the line, in potential permit fees and upgrades to facilities. Valero, the nation’s largest refiner and biggest donor to Prop 23, estimated that AB 32 would cost the company $75 million. Both Valero and Tesoro have refineries in California, including Tesoro’s largest. We’ve mapped the state’s biggest industrial carbon emitters:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m not an oil industry analyst but the major oil companies can use profits from their “upstream” operations—their crude oil fields, basically—to offset the cost of AB 32. Valero & Tesoro are just refiners and are seeing their margins squeezed more than the big, vertically integrated players. It’s worth noting that Occidental, an LA-based oil company, was also a large donor to Prop 23.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>QUESTION\u003cbr>\nReports indicated that a lot of money was switched from going to Prop 23 to Prop 26 when it became clear 23 would not pass. How will Prop 26 impact AB 32? Will the state find it hard or impossible to institute fees necessary to implement the new rules?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CRAIG MILLER\u003cbr>\nWe don’t know yet. But toward the end of the campaign, it was “the elephant in the room” that the No-on-23 people weren’t really talking about. CARB’s position is that Prop 26—having passed—will not affect any fees authorized by AB 32, which passed in 2006. Others say it’s not that clear-cut. Stay tuned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>QUESTION\u003cbr>\nAny other important issues related to AB 32?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Recently it has seemed that only New Mexico and Quebec were really ready to move forward with WCI. Arizona has pulled out of the cap-and-trade plan.
