#1 This seems like unwarranted judicial interference with California's on-going efforts to be the most ungovernable state in the Union.

#2 If California is so gung-ho to fight global warming, the legislature can act immediately to ban the sale and use of all cars, trucks, buses, tractors, trains, airplanes, ships, boats, motorcycle engines and lawn mowers. This would have an immediate positive effect on global warming. Los Angeles would be free of smog. Since California supplies much of the produce in the US, people all over the country would starve (along with almost everyone in California, of course). This would further reduce global warming. Since California would no longer be making any significant contribution to the US (and world) economy, there would be a massive depression, further reducing global warming.

Since the legislature is not doing this, we can only conclude that they are not serious about global warming, and California is only using the courts to extort money from the automakers.

As Glenn Reynolds says, I'll start acting like global warming is a crisis when the people who tell me it's a crisis act like it's a crisis.

That's because.....its the food my food eats? Nah, we'll just import it directly from legit Mexican workers south of the border. Lettuce, lettuce, my kingdom for lettuce.
