SAN FRANCISCO Gov. Jerry Brown railed Thursday against politicians who doubt climate change, calling them "political lemmings" and the chief obstacle in the fight against 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," the Democratic governor said at a high-profile conference on climate change at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco.
At a conference that included Brown's predecessor, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Virgin Group founder Richard Branson, Brown said climate change has lengthened the state's fire season and quickened its snowmelt, affecting agriculture and taxing public infrastructure.
He acknowledged Californians have been "squeezed" by the flagging economy, but he said investment is necessary to stem the effect of global warming.

He made it sound like this was only a one term gig some toime back, I sure hope so.. altho the waiting in the wings are far from improvement.. LT. Gub. Gavin Nuisance and Kamala ‘is my makeup OK?’ Harris are 2014 possibles.. and to look to the CaGop here is at an even bigger void for ‘talent’.
Jerry, moonbeam, Brown, talking about lemmings, God have mercy on my soul for the thoughts that I can not post without FR banishment or jail as the result.
The one with a chute ain't Jerry.
Proof positive of how FAR out of touch politicians are with everyday Americans.
"And if you agree with me, call my 800 number '1-800-NOT-FLAKY.'"
When I was in elementary school back in the 1960’s I recall summer temperatures often reaching 115F + in the shade. Living in the same community I lived in back then, today I’m hard pressed to recall when the last time we had temperatures in that range in the past decade.
Thanks SmithL.
Climate change is the excuse - the vehicle being used to implement communitarian policies that are upending the integrity of private property rights, destroying the middle class and pushing people off the land and into densified “liveable communities.”
Please take a look at this website (about 2/3 of the way down) that chronicles the implementation of this agenda happening at a break neck pace in California: http://users.sisqtel.net/armstrng/agenda21.htm
I do not know why people are not in the streets protesting at what this administration is doing to destroy our individual liberties.
yes... he represents Casper in the Wymoming state house. :-)
Both men are communists.

The Grift is an added bonus, while it lasts.
A major cement producer has agreed to pay a $1.425 million penalty to settle alleged violations of the Clean Air Act at its Mojave plant, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
It’s one of the largest settlements for a single cement facility, the Department of Justice reported in a Thursday news release.
Governor Moonbeam, an expert on climate? You got to be kidding!

Global Warming on Free Republic
It’s not the Democrats’ policies that have sunk California. It’s global warming.
Sure, Jerry.
Thanks for the ping.
