They publically signaled their virtue to all. Most likely a fraud and hypocrite.

Letters to the editors are written by newspaper staff to sway opinion.

“I believe in science.”

Guarantee any dunderhead who goes around spouting the hack phrase “I believe in science” cannot define the word “science” or “scientific method”.

Don Eggleston was a teacher and administrator for 35 years in the Pajaro Valley Unified School District and Cabrillo College.

He also writes opinion columns and is more of a watermelon than a democrat.

Sea level is projected to be 3 feet higher in 80 years putting many major cities underwater. Check this map to see which parts of Santa Cruz and Watsonville will be under water for our grandchildren: https://coast.noaa.gov/slr/.

And me is clearly a watermelon, and very susceptible to lies and manipulation.

Why are we doing nothing to address these coming disasters? It’s clear to me that Bernie, Elizabeth and Tom Steyer are right.

The village idiot speaketh.

And that is something not one of them can understand.

They’re incapable of understanding the ripple effects.

Maybe we should charge people for being progressive? Maybe a hundred dollar to vote for a Democrat?

I marvel today at how clean our air is. Back in the 60’s and 70’s air pollution, smog and hazy air inversions were a very noticeable problem in this country. Today the air is remarkably clean by comparison and we have substantial environmental controls in place that have improved and protected the environment.

If fuel prices rise to high levels his grandchildren are going to have a lower standard of living and will be hard pressed to pay for some things in life that help to keep us healthy.

The average cost of a home in Aptos, CA is $1,342,860, according to Trulia.

I’m guessing rising fuel costs won’t hit this guy in the wallet too hard. However it may help keep the rabble from visiting his town.

No Don is a wise man. Work for the California public school system and retire a rich man. To get $90,000 plus out of an annuity you would have to put in $1,800,000 during your period of employment contributions. Work for the state and retire a millionaire. No wonder he doesn’t worry about $5 a gallon gas. Not commuting to work just sitting at home clipping the coupons.

I worked around a lot of liberals for many years.

I cannot recall a single one living anywhere near the people they so professed to care for. In fact, nearly all of them lived, shopped and played in affluent areas.

If you listened closely you could hear their disdain for the unwashed masses.

The hallmark of liberalism is hypocrisy.

Unfortunately, 30% of all oil use is non-fuel in nature and spread throughout the economy.

Raising the price of oil does a lot more than just raise the cost of driving. If they really want to target driving, they should triple gas taxes and leave oil itself alone.

We should enjoy the Current Warm Period as long as it lasts (maybe another couple of hundred years).

The Current Warm Period is a much better time to live in than the recent cooling periods like the Little Ice Age (roughly 14th century to 19th century -- when this country was founded) or the Dark Age (4th century to 9th century). Life during the warm periods (Roman Warm Period, Medieval Warm Period, and Current Warm Period) are much better times to live in, at least form a climate perspective. That is if you like things like higher crop yields, more predictable rain patterns, and less plagues. Even covid, even if you count all the deaths (including dying with covid instead of from covid), that's still nothing like the Bubonic Plague wiping out ONE THIRD of Europe and possibly Asia.

Enough of the fear porn over a time we should be glad we're living in.

2. I believe in science

I believe in Christ I am a Scientist and i don’t believe in
anthropogenic global climate change. The evidence suggests that the sun drives global climate changes and Government funding drives research results.

Gotta push people into EVs. They pushed transit and it didn’t work. That is the end game, but the intermediate step is pushingus into EVs.
