Sides need to give on global warming bill

A few days ago, legislation to make California a leader in curbing global warming emissions seemed to be sailing smoothly toward the governor's desk. Now this historic bill appears stalled because of concerns over environmental justice and emergency exemptions.
The differences between Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and supporters of Assembly Bill 32, the global warming measure, are so small as to be laughable. Still, as we've seen this session, the slightest dispute gives enemies of good legislation the opportunity to kill it. Right now, lots of opponents -- especially oil companies and rapacious users of fossil fuels -- want to kill the bill. Legislators should not let them.
