it may now struggle to compete with foreign producers

So thanks to the carbon tax tomato products will now be imported form overseas with all the added carbon emissions that entails.

Nice job environmentalists.

Welcome Home!

Love and Kisses,
Arizona

Here in Australia, the red-headed bogan (think redneck, but with an Aussie twist) Julia Gillard is flogging that chicken of “a price on carbon” even as she touts just how many people will get money out of it, the same as does California. Meanwhile the resources boom is now over (thanks, China, for all those ghost cities you built) and the Australian economy is in the crapper.

Global Warming Climate Change is nothing more than the perfection of the Leftist religious non-religion, where Man is his own God, Man screws up, and Man (of the elite class, of course) must fix the screwup. Pay up, plebes!

We have come from the early 1960′s, when people embraced development and the growth of technology as a friend, to fifty years later, where people shy away from the growth of technology and huddle in caves against it. What a colossal waste.

Thank you for the link…..we are a few years behind you leaving this crazy state. We are actually going on a holiday tomorrow to look at Arizona :) I just hope we are able to sell our home before the economy in the state crashes and burns.

In a world that no longer believes in an afterlife, getting your name in the history books is about as close to immortality as it gets.

Right up until the time that the Ministry of Truth (MiniTru) edits you out as…inconvenient.

The California Air Resources Board— CARB, get it?—[...]

I’m on a low CARB diet — I left California many years ago.

If you thought you saw job loss and migration out of here (in CA) before, just wait…

Yep.

That and — now that the Dems control a super-majority of the State Legislature along with the non-Governorship — a likely repeal of Proposition 13, which will scatter homeowners quicker than zombies.

The wife and I are actively researching other states in preparation for a move out of here, perhaps within the next year; she’s built — and continues adding to/enhancing:

(1) a database of various factors one can filter on based on criteria important to them; and

(2) a web app/page to access and filter that data, by state and even county, at http://www.leavingcalifornia.net (where, despite its name, anyone considering a move from/to any state/county can potentially benefit from its use.

Real estate market here in Las Vegas is booming right now, not only residential, but commercial as well. And yes, its CA that is driving it for the most part. I was asking why is Caesars building a brand new huge mall across the street from them, now it is clear they knew their investment will pay off ($750M by latest count).

Too bad that same idiots who ruined CA for themselves will now ruin yet another state.

This professor is proposing the death penalty for people who simply deny global warming. Because their beliefs and opinions differ to his. Because, in his mind, their lack of urgency could potentially cause deaths decades or even centuries later. Because, until proven wrong beyond any doubt, his theory is paramount, while the theory of those who disagree should be squelch and silenced forever, with their murderers becoming heroes among global warming alarmists.

When the time comes (and it is), this guy will make an excellent muslim.

Exit question (Allahpundit™): Guess who Morning Star says is going to be paying the extra costs in ketchup and tomatoes?

They think the people in the other 56 states will be paying for their carbon credits because the cost will be driven onto their customers – you know, typical librul/marxists trying to spend other peoples money.

However, these bureaucrats don’t even imagine that tomatos can be grown elsewhere, and better ones at that. I grow more than I can use every year. We try to give them away to all our friends. The only thing more prolific is zucchini and nobody wants that.

California is set to implement a cap-and-trade system in 2013—the fruition of AB 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act

We’ve started calling it the Global Warming Final Solutions Act.

The state government sold $233 million in permits to pollute at that auction

Selling indulgences didn’t work out so well for the Catholic Church. May it have the same effect here.

Wow, no depth of satire can hold a candle to these loons … Jonah Goldberg really nailed it with his two-word book title: Liberal Fascism.

The California Air Resources Board — CARB, get it?

Uhm … Canary for America Really Burning?
