SAN FRANCISCO -- Gov. Jerry Brown railed this morning against politicians who doubt climate change, calling "political lemmings" the chief obstacle in combating global warming.

"The main thing we have to deal with in climate change is the skepticism, the denial and the cult-like behavior of the political lemmings that would take us over the cliff," Brown said at a high-profile conference on climate change at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco.

The Democratic governor said climate change has lengthened the state's fire season and quickened its snowmelt, affecting agriculture and taxing public infrastructure.

He acknowledged that Californians have been "squeezed" by the flagging economy, but he said investment is necessary . . .

After this winter anyone who tries to push Global Warming may be laughed out of the state. We needed gloves today due to the cold down here in the IE of So Cal. According to forecast models, in one week, next Thursday and Friday night, almost the entire IE will be at freezing. And parts of Los Angeles will be freezing. Here is the prediction. Red line is where the freezing line begins. Map is for Friday night the 23rd-24th. Also looks like most of the Bay Area up north and large areas of San Diego will be freezing.
