RE: Sierra Research Report SR 2007-04-01







Dear Mr. Governor







California Air Resources Board (CARB) and The Department of Consumer Affairs/ Bureau of Automotive Repair DCA/BAR have contracted with Sierra Research for a Report of Smog Check performance.







Sierra has informed me the report was final in March 2009 and released to CARB.







CARB, BAR, IMRC, and the California Legislature are using the Report for public policy but refusing to release the publicly funded Report.







Mr. Governor, I’m confused, can you refer me to someone who might help?

		<description><![CDATA[For those who want to argue the science or politics of global warming - is it real or not? - I ask you to think instead of the bacteria in the petri dish. Whether or not &quot;global warming&quot; is happening, we still have an absolute &quot;sustainability&quot; issue:  Western civilization uses resources at a rate that it&#039;d take NINE planet earths to sustain. Yet, we have only this one. (Google &quot;nine planets&quot; to learn more). I personally chose to focus on this fact - it transcends all politics and competing theories.  We bacteria can argue forever, and do nothing, but we will eventually over-grow our petri dish.  And that&#039;s it - when the food&#039;s gone, its gone;  when the trees are gone, they&#039;er gone.  It&#039;ll happen regardless of who&#039;s in office, what party controls what resource, what the planet&#039;s temperature is...none of that&#039;ll matter in the end.  And, no, it won&#039;t happen next year or even, maybe, next century.  But it WILL happen, as inevitably as the bacteria multiplying in the petri dish - unless we change how we operate on a number of levels.... It really is that simple. We can start doing something now, or we can leave it to future generations. It seems that there are plenty of people in each camp - only time will tell.]]></description>

Get a life !! Al Gore did a number on too many of you. The earth has been slowly cooling for the last 10 years. The climate has been changing for billions of years. All this Global warming climate change whatever they call it is just the way for politicians to grab more power and control over the sheeple, don&#039;t you guys see it? It&#039;s all about money, more taxes... They don&#039;t care about science, but who cares. Their GREEN is just NEW RED !!! Do your own research and study more about what&#039;s going on, don&#039;t just blindly listen to these nutjobs.]]></description>
