The last line of the story:

This story originally appeared on CALmatters.org. CALmatters is a non-profit journalism venture dedicated to exploring state policies and politics.

The Merc ran this in the Local News section under "Environment." Are you suggesting CALmatters is a "Lying Leftist operative"? As a non-profit journalism venture, they must certainly be above politics, right?

two-class social structure

That was achieved about 20 years ago. Victor Davis Hanson writes frequently about what has happened to the California Central Valley and his hometown of Selma, CA. His stories are so disheartening. Wretched poverty everywhere except for the coastal elites living with 20 miles of the ocean.

What's the liberal response? Double down, pedal to the metal, and never ask "are we doing the right thing here?" Just like authoress Cart wrote in her article -- blindly follow whatever God Government decrees for us.

California has 6 million head of cattle and approx. I'm thinking they have to kill all the cattle first or be known as hypocrites...oh wait.

They are very clear about getting everybody to live in high rises next to the railroad tracks. Then they’ll track the number of miles you drive to tax you: “Oops, you drove over your allotted 6,000 miles last year. Please pay your $10,000 excess mileage surcharge.” Then they will take control as you say and limit your driving. All of this clearly leads to totalitarianism.

Problem is cars aren’t the problem. Urban sprawl and over population are the problem.

I remember when the country had 150 million people. I think it was a lot nicer than today’s 330 million.

The only thing bad that would come from significant global warming is the melting of the Greenland ice cap

If there is anything that would need to be done, it would be reducing CO2 emissions in high-altitudes and high-latitudes.

I would suggest that airplanes flying at high-latitudes use butane. Burning butane would decrease the CO2 the airplanes emit and would increase the amount of water that would wash the CO2 out of the air.

The goal is to force Californians out of their vehicles.

They’ve raised the gas tax. They’ve raised registration fees. Now they’re headed toward a miles-driven tax as well. Toll roads are now in vogue as well.

In Southern California, people drive long distances to work. When you’re looking for work, the jobs aren’t always down the block. You go where the job is.

The idea you can use mass transit with four or five connections to get to your place of employment is just incredibly unsupportable. Two and a half hours is not a decent commute time, especially when you have to spend that time both ways.

I used the buss for two years. During that time what would normally take 15 minutes to drive, took me one hour and fifteen minutes. And for that I had the pleasure of sitting next to homeless people who had just hours before wet themselves and wreaked of the odor. If you’re a female, you get the pleasure of this man hitting on you in a closed environment, you can’t easily avoid.

Mass transit sucks.

This climate business in California is bound to get very ugly over the next 10-20 years.

And all for something that simply does not exist.

Authoress Cart is obviously one of the deepest true believers there is.

There appears to be a connection between her family name and her preferred mode of transportation for the "little people"; donkey cart.

But trees do not "store" carbon-dioxide.

Correct; they use the carbon and release the oxygen into the atmosphere.

...and it is temporary "storage" of carbon. When the tree dies, falls over, and rots away, what happens to all that carbon?

...forests will be managed so that trees store more carbon dioxide

That's a typical throw-away line the leftist idiot authoress read somewhere. How, exactly, are you going to "manage" a forest to do that? Seems like the only possibility would be to ban cutting the trees down so they can "store" the carbon for some additional years. But the trees will die at some point regardless of how they are "managed" and release the stored carbon.

Bull$hit. They want to eliminate the private car for the normal people, but obviously won’t give it up for themselves. The ruling elite will always have its limousines with chauffeurs.
