Governor Brown Extends California CO2 Cap and Trade Law | Watts Up With That?
"If we don't do something about it, it is the end of the world as we know it," Brown said of climate change at a signing ceremony held in the same place where former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill authorizing the cap-and-trade program more than a decade earlier. The program was due to expire in 2020 and will now continue until 2030. The state has committed to cutting emissions 40% by that time.
