The PM of Scotland just signed a deal with President Jerry Brown, the leader of California. They have come to an agreement to jointly work on climate change.
No, I’m not kidding. Scotland signed a deal with California.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has signed a joint agreement with the governor of California committing them to work together on climate change.
She met Jerry Brown for talks in Sacramento during a five-day visit to the United States.
They discussed how the two administrations could work together to achieve the ambitions set out in the Under2 memorandum of understanding between subnational governments.
This aims to cut CO2 emissions.
Mr Brown has criticised President Trump for his executive order overturning many climate change policies introduced by President Obama.
Ms Sturgeon and Mr Brown also discussed the importance of offshore wind in tackling climate change and considered how the two governments could share knowledge and best practice in developing this technology.
‘Not complacent’
The Scottish government committed to pressing ahead with plans to both set and deliver ambitious domestic measures to reduce carbon emissions and provide leadership and example in the spirit of the MoU and the historic Paris Agreement.
Following the meeting, the first minister said: “Scotland is making huge progress in delivering our climate change ambitions, but we are not complacent and there is still much to achieve.
“Today’s meeting strengthened our relationship with the government of California and I’m confident we can work together to achieve the targets set out by the Under2 MoU.
I understand Portugal is going to work with Mississippi to tackle world hunger.

Scotland, set down that nearly empty bottle of single malt, you need to sober up. It’s for the chillren.
PS: you have to rid yourselves of all peat bogs to be in compliance.
And what is the national animal of Scotland??? 😉
You know, the only thing that’s come out of Scotland that’s worth a shit is Drambuie.
The Constitution specifies that the national government is the only body that can negotiate treaties with another foreign government. As it should be. That is one role of the federal government that I agree to. Ok some others, limited.
I’m telling you Donald’s silver hammer needs to come down upon some heads.
My Scots/Irish ancestors didn’t go that far to the west/left….as you study the map….
Jerry Browns going to keep going full on lunatic and sooner or later the guys with the guns are going to get pissed off enough to do something. You know all these new California “assault weapon” laws. No LEO in Northern Cali will enforce them. There’s “we will not comply” stickers on the back of patrol cars in my county.
OOOH Brad…ya never met Terri…I have part of a sculpture that was inspired from her ….ummm spirit….spirits….
Willy, I might have been a tad bit ironical,
Please, let this be a late April Fool’s Day joke.

Does this agreement qualify as a treaty? If so, Gov. Moonbeam could be in some hot water.
I often wonder where the scientists are that know that CO2 is “Plant Food”. Less CO2, less plants, less weather. Yikes. When people realize that the premise of Climate Change is completely wrong, it’s going to be too late. The climate is changing for the worse because of our naive efforts to control it. Anyone who thinks they can control something way beyond their comprehension is a fool, not a scientist.
Ever found in your life that a direction you were going in was completely wrong, despite the fact that your premises seemed right?
Yep.
Ha ha!
Scotland and California!
Two socialist hellholes of graft, corruption, incompetence, drugs, and imbecility – each trying mightily to be the first to collapse.
Lotsa luck!
I read somewhere, a bunch of years ago, that most CO2 comes from termites – yeah, the little bugs that inhabit most of the world doing the work that Americans won’t.

Darn, and I was proud of my Scottish ancestry at one time. I thought they were full of grit and rugged determination and spirit and such ( except for that whole Presbyterian thing.). What the heck happened?
William Wallace weeps!
Once they’ve tackled global warming (solution: the government confiscation of all private business) they can move on to other equally important quests like the effort to save the unicorns from extinction.
“… I was proud of my Scottish ancestry at one time.”
As was I, but the land of Carnegie, Maxwell, and Fleming is deader than dogshit and only the dregs remain.
