“But California — a state that has for 50 years been a leader in environmental advocacy — is about to step unto the breach.”
With six of the ten top polluted cities in the country. How’s that advocacy working out for you Givernir Brown?
In the not too distant future, Latino’s will control CA thru the ballot box and I doubt they will be any more environmentally conscious than they were/are in Mexico.
Of this I am sure: When the Federal spigot is cut off, the farmers energy companies start running hourly ads on why food costs so much, and gasoline too...not to mention your AC in summer, the political climate will CHANGE RAPIDLY.
By far most of the people who support these policies don’t have a clue how much they cost. Especially for essentials. That’s been removed from the propaganda, and anyone who talks about it is cut off and demonized.
Smart Dims (oxymoron, I know) will get a head start and run for the hills now. Hells a comin’.
The NYT defending California - a twofer of BS.
“We’ll fight until the last dime of someone else’s money!!”
Have fun bankrupting yourselves.
And if you manage to secede to live in your delusions, have fun without water.
So, they have agreed to increase fracking and nuclear power generation. Good! That should shrink California’s gigantic carbon footprint.
Doesn’t California have a large number of car-driving, water-drinking illegal aliens, things that arguably contribute to global warming?
If such is the case then California does not have aggressive policies to fight global warming. California is being purely politically correct for whatever it stands to gain concerning global warming politics.
Corrections, insights welcome.
After this election, the majority of the USA does not give a damn what Calif thinks about anything.
The San Joaquin, Sacramento and Klamath rivers dump millions of gallons of fresh water into the ocean every hour. A pipeline from those rivers feeding lakes and the central valley could end droughts forever, make the entire state a garden spot and produce capital of the world.
Instead Moonbeam wants a bullet train to Bakersfield.
The gubmint should just take California for themselves declaring the state’s government to be too stupid to care for itself (Generally speaking- all the good and decent folks in Cali would then be free to live life like life was meant to be lived- without people like Jerriatric Brown at the helm)
Trump to CA. No problem guys.. No federal money for you. Good luck with your mission.
Key sentence: “The Trump administration could reduce funds for the state’s vast research community.”
I can see those off-ramp guys now - “Will Research for Food”.
** Idiots in Sacramento think they can change the climate on their own. **
Well...yes. They passed a law to keep cows from farting too much. No joke. They did.
Global warming is a wealth distribution scheme.
Take money from the middle class and distribute it to friends of Democrats who in return give nice campaign contributions.
The beauty of all this is they do not have to prove they are doing any good. It is a win win.
It is like the billion dollar train to nowhere. No one expects it to get built but think of the millions of dollars that can be siphoned off.
The bottom line, California is a one party state controlled by special interest, all who are getting some sort of kick back.
Article II, Section 2, Clause 2 of the United States Constitution, includes the Treaty Clause, which empowers the President of the United States to propose and chiefly negotiate agreements, which must be confirmed by the Senate, between the United States and other countries, which become treaties between the United States and other countries after the advice and consent of asupermajority of the United States Senate.
Make California American Again!
Born and raised in Kalifornia (back when it was California). I am old enough to have voted for Reagan for President, but not old enough to have voted for Governor Reagan. I do remember Reagan and S. I. Hayakawa telling academic liberal elites (and their skulls full of mush students) to grow up and get to class. Occupying the Dean’s Office was not lauded, it led to arrest. Back then they taught the truth about the Ice Ages cycle: 100,000 years of cold and ice, and then 10,000 to 15,000 years of warming. We are already overdue for more ice and cold. This 100,000 year cycle has been repeating for millions of years. The wackos and creepozoids have successfully labeled a plant food, C02, as a pollutant. Since all oil and gas contain much C02, the wackos are hell bent on controling us by controlling the C02.
Jerry Brown must hate California - he’s trying to drive her into the ground....
