Page 4 ~~a AB 1058 (Pavley, Aroner, Kehoe, Nation, Longville, Strom-Martin, Kuehl) BILL TO REDUCE CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS FROM PASSENGER VEI~ICLES IN CALIFORNIA Details. of the .legislation: ? Instructs the California Air Resources Board to adoptxegulations that achieve the maximum feasible, cost-effective, and technologically achievable reductions of greenhouse gas pollution emitted by passenger vehicles. ? Targets emissions from passenger vehicles and :light-duty trucks. ? Regulations must be adopted by January 1; 2005. ? The California Air Resources Board must study potential impacts to the State's economy. Rationale: ? Global warming is the_most pressing environmental problem facing humankind today. The evidence continues to :mount that. human activities are contributing to global warming by adding large amounfs of heat-trapping gases to the atmosphere. The primary source of these gases is the combustion of fossil fuels. ? Transportation accounts for the lion's share; of California's COZ emissions-57 percent of emissions from fossil fuel combustion, compared to .31 percent for the nation as a whole. Nearly two-thirds ofthese transportation-related: greenhouse gas emissions are attributable to motor vehicles. ? The potential impacts of global warming on. California's environment and public health include: ® Increased catastrophic forest:fres ® Loss of fresh water supplies ® Severe disruption of agriculture ® Decline in air quality • Warmer, wetter winters - ® Increased respiratory disease,. cancer ® Hotter summers with increased. droughts and mortality ® Increased storms and floods ® Increased disease and pest outbreaks o Sea level rise ® Species extinction ? Global warming may result in devastating effects upon most of the criticah:economic drivers in the state, including. the agriculture, fishing, timber, real estate, insurance, construction, tourism and skiing,iridustries. ? Global warming will disproportionately affect communities of color and low-income. populations with degradation of air quality and loss of jobs. Support; ?
