California dairy farmers are claiming that a strict climate change law known as the Super Pollutant Reduction Act, which was signed by Gov. Jerry Brown last month, will devastate the industry and force many more dairies throughout the state to close their doors. Authored by Senator Ricardo Lara (D-Bell Gardens), this law sets goals to achieve a 40 percent reduction in methane emissions from dairy farms, along with a 50 percent reduction in black carbon emissions, a 40 percent reduction in hydrofluorocarbon gases, in the state of California by 2030.
