To the consternation of global warming proponents, the Late Ordovician Period was also an Ice Age while at the same time CO2 concentrations then were nearly 12 times higher than today-- 4400 ppm. According to greenhouse theory, Earth should have been exceedingly hot. Instead, global temperatures were no warmer than today. Clearly, other factors besides atmospheric carbon influence earth temperatures and global warming. I found the following when looking of Carboniferous Carbondioxide concentrations

Rather, I claim (correctly) that the LA Times ignored the devastating peer reviewed critique of CARB's rosy economic analysis for AB 32. Dan Walters at the Sac Bee wrote a column on the critique, but the LA Times kept mum. On the other hand, the LA Times never fails to cover fawningly the work of any economist, but especially David Roland-Holst, who concocts an analysis "proving" that AB 32 would create scores of thousands of green jobs.

The LA Times did not ignore the report. It published a straightforward story on the jobs report when it came out. http://articles.latimes.com/2010/mar/10/local/la-me-climate-jobs10-2010mar10 You have your facts wrong.

They are rasing rates between 6 and 28% to pay for the green agenda. Unions promise to buy into the agenda if they can be required to install it. They've tiered the rate structure so heavy users (read businesses) will pay the most. This is a great strategy for successful achievement of the carbon targets. All you need is enough of the biggest users to close down their operations in the state and move to a better business climate.
