The AB32 Implementation Group says it represents a broad section of California interests focused on global-warming regulations. The group is being managed by a large [[public relations]] firm, Woodward & McDowell. It features photographs of white clouds and a field of flowers on its Web site. The group includes 22 of the state's biggest carbon polluters as ranked by the [[California Air Resources Board]]. The list of members includes oil refiners, cement manufacturers, chemical companies and trucking firms.
According to environmentalists and lawmakers, the AB 32 Implementation Committee has engaged in a steady campaign to undermine California's Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, which mandates a reduction in [[greenhouse gas]] emissions to 1990 levels by 2020.<Ref>Ali Winston, California Watch [http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/01/18/MNJP1BHODT.DTL Green firms balk at coalition's lobbying effort], ''San Francisco Chronicle'', January 18, 2010</ref>
