Title: 2009 - Worker's Compensation: Recent Decisions Likely to Increase Benefits and Employer Costs

URL: https://www.lao.ca.gov/2009/workers_comp/workers_comp_costs_101609.pdf

Description: October 16, 2009 - California's workers' compensation system provides benefits to injured workers. In 2004, changes were made to measure permanent disability (PD) more consistently, reducing benefits for many. Workers argued this was unfair. In 2009, the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) allowed PD measurements to be challenged based on specific cases. This could lead to more changes, lawsuits, and costs, but also higher benefits for workers. The report recommends that the Legislature either let courts handle these disputes or change the law to clarify when PD measurements can be challenged or adjust PD compensation to ensure more uniformity.

Description: In 2008‑09, weakening revenues and limited access to the credit markets reduced the California's resources to address monthly cash flow deficits. As a result, the state’s “cash cushion”—its available liquidity to allow the General Fund to make all budgeted payments on time—became unacceptably low. This report outlines the differences and similarities between the budget and cash flow situations, and makes recommendations for corrective actions to address the crisis.

Description: The state's efforts to rehabilitate juvenile and drug-addicted adult offenders have been largely ineffective despite substantial spending. In response, the Legislature has proposed shifting $1.4 billion of state responsibilities to counties, giving them more autonomy to manage programs for juvenile offenders and drug-addicted adults. The suggested financing plan involves increasing the vehicle license fee rate to 1 percent, generating $1.1 billion in revenue, and redirecting $359 million of existing VLF revenues, ultimately serving as an ongoing budget solution.

Description: This report outlines the success of California's most extensive energy conservation effort at the time. In 2000, California faced electricity supply challenges, leading Governor Davis to set a goal of reducing peak demand by 5,000 megawatts in 2001. The conservation campaign exceeded expectations, achieving a 5,570 megawatt reduction by June 2001. Overall electricity consumption dropped by 6.7%, with a record 14% reduction during peak hours.

Description: Simulation models are used here to weigh competing influences that might either increase or diminish future floods. Future characteristics of major storms, in particular pineapple express or atmospheric river storms, by global climate models indicated changes mostly at the extremes. Likewise, although the average intensity of storms was not projected to increase much in most climate models, occasional much-larger-than-historical-range storm intensities were simulated.

Description: A study modeled future wildfires considering different climate and development scenarios. Results show a significant increase in wildfires, especially under higher emissions (SRES A2) with statewide increases ranging from 57% to 169% by 2085. The spatial patterns of increased fire occurrence vary based on the speed of vegetation shifts, with coastal areas and Northern California showing higher increases in fire area burned.

Description: This research measured the economic effects of climate-related yield change in California crops. The overall conclusion from model runs is that, while the effect of climate change is manifest through yield changes, after economic adaptation, the results on irrigated crop production are predominately shown in economic terms and changes in aggregate land and water use.

Description: For this study, daily data were collected for mortality and weather in seven California counties known to be affected by the July 2006 heat wave. The association between apparent temperature and daily mortality was assessed using a Poisson regression model and combined across counties in a meta-analysis.This multi-county analysis provides additional evidence that the risk of mortality increases with prolonged exposure to high apparent temperatures, as is common during a heat wave.

Title: Estimating the Potential Economic Impacts of Climate Change on Southern California Beaches-Draft Paper

URL: http://www.energy.ca.gov/2009publications/CEC-500-2009-033/CEC-500-2009-033-D.PDF

Description: Climate change could substantially alter the width of beaches in Southern California. Climatedriven sea level rise will have at least two important impacts on beaches: (1) higher sea level will cause all beaches to become more narrow, all things being held constant, and (2) sea level rise may affect patterns of beach erosion and accretion when severe storms combine with higher high tides. To understand the potential economic impacts of these two outcomes, this study examined the physical and economic effects of permanent beach loss caused by inundation due to sea level rise of one meter and of erosion and accretion caused by a single, extremely stormy year (using a model of beach change based on the wave climate conditions of the El Niño year of 1982/1983.)

Description: This paper provides an initial exploration of this hypothesis through first identifying the dominant daily circulation patterns over North America using an objective cluster analysis on ERA-40 reanalysis of 500 millibar (mb), 700 mb, and 850 mb geopotential height and temperature fields. Next, we evaluate the extent to which these upper-air patterns can be correlated with surface-level oppressive air mass events associated with elevated levels of heatrelated mortality in major California urban centers.

Description: This survey was originally posted by the California Department of Energy. This fifth EcoPinion Survey (performed in October 2008) focuses on consumers and climate change: customer feelings and levels of personal responsibility in regard to reducing climate change, willingness to take action and what type of actions, perceptions of costs, who should pay and how new revenue should be used. The results provide further evidence of a green gap between high levels of consumer understanding and concern over climate change balanced against conflicted feelings of personal responsibility to “do something” about climate change.
