FPM: Jerry Brown, California’s outgoing governor, wants environmentalism to be his legacy. It’s certainly a better legacy than the 3 people murdered in his final month in office by illegal alien criminals whom his sanctuary state law protected from ICE detainers. But Brown’s environmental legacy is equally terrible.
Governor Brown earned the nickname ‘Governor Moonbeam’ for his soliloquies about Spaceship Earth.
“My own belief is that California has a unique place on the planet. It’s been a place of dreams. We can pursue a path of benign energy,” he rhapsodized, early in his political career.
Brown’s environmental fanaticism has wrecked California’s agriculture and helped cause a drought by diverting water supplies and failing to make any serious provisions for water preservation and reclamation. As a pseudoscientific notion about carbon causing global warming took hold, he vowed a carbon crackdown. California, he ordered last year, would go “carbon neutral” by 2045.
Doing so would require eliminating California’s oil and gas, outlawing cars, plastic cups and what’s left of its manufacturing and agriculture. Electricity would become unaffordable to all except the very wealthy.
And it wouldn’t matter because Brown’s forest fires and droughts would raise carbon numbers more than all the cars on all the freeways or the air conditioning in the homes of the people he had targeted.
The Department of the Interior estimated that the 2018 wildfire season produced 68 million tons of carbon dioxide. “This number equates to about 15 percent of all California emissions, and it is on par with the annual emissions produced by generating enough electricity to power the entire state for a year,” the press release noted. more here
I am both saddened and angered at what has happened to my once “Golden State.” This is the epitome of stupidity, mixed with lawlessness, narcism, wannabe gods, totalitarianism, greed, self worship and worship of celebrity. There is no going back. Short of a total calamity it will only grow worse. Imbeciles indeed.
The ignorance of liberalism unfairly touches everyone.
The Indians will save California.
Hang on, stay with me. See, there’s a big new study out about ancient Indians in California. Turns out they cleared the land of dry fuel to prevent wildfires from getting out of hand.
This has stunned the scientific community. They’re advocating for this amazing “new” practice to be implemented in Cali. Astounding.
All we have to do is introduce the indians to whatever sane and rational idea our civilization comes up with and then pass it off as the indians idea.
Abortion? Injuns never did that, too much respect for the sacredness of life.
Border security? Injuns invented that…. we just want to do it better.
Combustion engine? Injun invention created to put man on even footing with Mother Nature.
Nuclear power was first used by the coastal indians several hundred years before Columbus.
And on and on.
Also, if it doesn’t work out we can always fall back to our original wicked ways and blame the Injun.
Delusional Twat Libtard.
