Gov. Brown: ‘Is Very Dubious’ that Global Warming Legislation Causes Job Loss
Cybercast News Service ^ | August 25, 2016 | 2:01 PM EDT | Eric Scheiner

California Governor Jerry Brown (D) says that evidence that global warming solution legislation hurts jobs “is very dubious, if it exists at all.”

While speaking at a press conference Wednesday night Brown praised the passage of SB32 in the California Senate, which sets a target of cutting the state’s output of heat-trapping emissions 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030. […]

“The economy is an impersonal mechanism of profit-seeking enterprises who will take the world as they find it. Whether it’s a mountain or a river or a regulation or a need for bright people. People who want to invest will move through the obstacles that are there, and if you say ‘electric cars’, we’ll get more electric cars; if you say ‘dirty cars’, we’ll get dirty cars. It’s up to government not to just rubber stamp the oil companies, but to set some rules of the road that will make our society a better place,” Brown said.

Not sure if I’ve read a more ignorant statement on the economy in my life before that one.

CA today is run by those with bad intent and the mentally ill, who are perpetually offended and are infatuated with controlling everything and everyone.

Governors lacking a brain will find it impossible to determine if anything is “dubious.” That would be you jackass Moonbeam.

He is correct about this. Capitalist are rational people. They see reality as it is and make rational decisions.

So if they find that California is an expensive place to do business because of the environmentalist/anti-carbon legislation passed in California they will go elsewhere to do business.

The world is a very big place and capitalist have other options available to them outside of California. It is only rational that they seek a less expensive location to do business.

Wouldn’t it be curious to see California become self-flagellatingly self righteous to the point that its population dwindles to half or less?

When I take global warmists and tape off their noses and mouthes to prevent Co2 it will be the greatest day of my life.

Ol’ Moonbeam’s on his third, and hopefully last career. Talk about going around the block! Lord knows what political freakazoid will float to the surface wanting his position after he croaks. [If he ever does]

I’ve been looking at properties in Northern Vermont....these wind turbines are popping up everywhere. They ruin the beauty of the mountains. I hate them.

He might actually be right, as long as we have significant leftist elements in politics. Whole new obligatory and propaganda enterprises will be made to rise around global climate fears. TRADITIONAL INDUSTRY — constructive — jobs will be lost, but in this parasitical game, the likes of Moonbeam will not care.

And we’re supposed to ignore the chopped eagles too. (Why can’t those things have bird guards, at least?)

Productivity requires energy. Maybe the Governor is one of those people that can only grasp things visually.
