The lack of regulations regarding car emissions imposes an unfair burden on California's air breathing residents, who must live on the same overheating planet as the other 49 states without any power in the voting booth to make them employ more planet-friendly transportation systems.
By keeping the exemption, the state is making things more fair for its residents :)
California-specific fuels have less energy per unit volume, requiring more to be burned per mile, which results in worsened production of CO2 and other greenhouse gases in order to slightly reduce oxides of nitrogen.
Global warming is not an argument in favor of CA's policy.
