LOS ANGELES — Foreign governments concerned about climate change may soon be spending more time dealing with Sacramento than Washington. President-elect Donald J. Trump has packed his cabinet with nominees who dispute the science of global warming. He has signaled he will withdraw the United States from the Paris climate agreement. He has belittled the notion of global warming and attacked policies intended to combat it. But California — a state that has for 50 years been a leader in environmental advocacy — is about to step unto the breach. In a show of defiance, Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat, and legislative leaders said they would work directly with other nations and states to defend and strengthen what were already far and away the most aggressive policies to fight climate change in the nation. That includes a legislatively mandated target of reducing carbon emissions in California to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030. read more.... http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/26/u...n-region®ion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news&_r=0 ****************************** Fortunately, ignorant moron asshole Trump will be countered by smart people at every turn.
The faster california collapses or is destroyed the better off we will all be. After Trump imposes tarrifs on imports and the EPA stops forcing Detroit to install california emission controls on all vehicles the edifice will come crashing down pretty quickly. The UC system is going to be defunded. The sanctuary cities are going to be defunded. High speed rail-to-nowhere is going to be defunded. The delta smelt is going to be removed from the endangered species list and irrigation restored, by force if necessary, to the central valley farmers. No amount of wringing of hands or gnashing of teeth by delicate snowflakes can stop this jugernaut. Companies are leaving the state daily. The reckoning is here.
What's cool about CA is that they believe every climate expert on earth. Unlike moron Trump and the science denier idiots here on this forum.
you mean 75 out 77 authors handpicked from a survey of 10,000. not a single one of your climate scientists has produced a peer reviewed paper showing man made co2 causes warming.
Once trump quickly eviscerates the EPA and co2 regs, the economy will take off like a rocket. Production costs will be much cheaper in other parts of the country. California will be forced to cut its own regs and carbon taxes or listen to the gigantic sucking sound as its factories move out of state. Simple economics broski
And Canada. These tards up here doubled down on carbon taxes in defiance of trump. Canada better get its ass in gear else a shitload of our industry goes to America. Trudeau is a one term guy.
