Jerry Brown, President of the Independent Republic of California
Politico ^ | 11/12/17 | DAVID SIDERS

Posted on 11/12/2017 1:48:47 PM PST by Angels27

On his way to the United Nations climate talks in Bonn, Germany, this week, Jerry Brown stopped over at the Vatican, where a doleful group of climate scientists, politicians and public health officials had convened to discuss calamities that might befall a warming world. The prospects were so dire—floods and fires, but also forced migration, famine and war—that some of the participants acknowledged difficulty staving off despair. California’s doomsayer governor did not express much optimism either. Seated between an economist and an Argentine bishop at the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, Brown leaned into his microphone and said, “It is despairing. Ending the world, ending all mammalian life. This is bad stuff.”

“There’s nothing that I see out there that gives me any ground for optimism,” he went on. Still, he promised action: “I’m extremely excited about doing something about it." Even though President Donald Trump has abandoned the Paris climate agreement and called climate change a “hoax,” and even though he is proceeding to scrap the Obama-era Clean Power Plan and promoting the production of coal, Brown insisted to his audience at the Vatican that these policies do not reflect the true sensibilities of the United States.

Just stopping off at the Vatican to express the opinion that the world is without hope and cannot be saved.

I imagine the Pope agrees, which is doubly ironic.

If they secede and a massive earthquake hits or fires like they had this summer, will they still stand with their hands out wanting the rest of US to bailed them out like they did this fall?

>>“It is despairing. Ending the world, ending all mammalian life. This is bad stuff.”

Does this moron realize that mammals can live in some very harsh climates? Cats, dogs, bears, rats, and humans all live from the equator to the arctic circle, in deserts and in rain forests.

Mammals survived the asteroid that destroyed the dinosaurs. We can handle a few degrees of “climate change” and even a few feet of sea level rise, if that were to actually happen.

Gee! Ain’t it nice, that Mr. Granola Bar In Vending Machines Jerry Brown, has finally aligned his ever-expanding mind, with the alimentary canal physical location of his shrinking skull?

A) Brown is President of nothing.

B) California is not a Republic. It is the epitome of a "democracy".

C) If we're so damned "independent" why is he always begging Washington, D.C. for money?

Freaking Moonbeam, you mammalist bigot!

The Pope is a communist. Communists by definition are atheists. Hmm...

Jerry Brown and Jorge Bergoglio - two of the biggest left wing nutcases ever to come out of the Western Hemisphere.

ATHEISM

The belief that there was nothing, and nothing happened to nothing and nothing then magically exploded into everything for no reason, then bits of everything reformed into self-replicating bits for no reason, which then turned into dinosaurs.
