California Unemployment at 7.7% - Is this because of overly strict environmental laws?
Dr Jello asked:
“Unemployment in California rose for a fifth straight month to 7.7% in August.”
“It was the highest rate in just over 12 years and was tied with Mississippi’s as the third worst in the nation. Nationally, unemployment was 6.1% in August.”

And on top of record unemployment, the State is broke.
“California may need a $7 billion emergency loan from the federal government to pay for “teachers’ salaries, nursing homes, law enforcement and every other state-funded service” this month, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger warns. ”

Has overbearing environmental laws in California bankrupted the state causing jobs to flee to states with better sanity?
Are California’s environmental laws especially harsh even now when the climate is cooling, and there is no “global warming”?

A lot of people go surfing in California. Maybe the unemployment rate is high because of that. Or maybe it’s because of the seagulls. Oh, or maybe the jobs are falling down the San Andreas Fault.
That would make as much sense as what you’re suggesting.
Your logic is basically equal to “James Hansen has a pimple, James Hansen is a climate scientist, therefore climate science causes pimples”.

No, I think it’s the exact opposite. Environmental laws create economic activity, because they force companies to hire people to deal with environmental issues.
