These progressives claim they want to save humanity but they hate people. Anti-growth, mfers live on coast where they don't need heating or AC. Same with choking farmers water. Idiots are more concerned with separating chicken bones and apple cores from our trash and paper straws than the citizens.

Elon Musk says we have the most expensive weather in the world. He may be right.

Hopefully you win Michael. Got my vote.

They ain't progressives although they often falsely call themselves that. They are neoliberals and they are in an alliance with the neoconservatives. Also called shitlibs.

Deeply ghoulish view that the planet would be a paradise with, say, a few billion fewer residents. The rest can organically farm and read white fragility to one another.

What is it with Democrats and their insistence on NONRELIABLE energy? Our WA state governor and one-party legislature is the same way. For example, the legislature is working (or has passed? I can't keep up) on outlawing natural gas for new commercial construction. Dams have already been eliminated. WA state is just a decade (or less) behind CA. Democrat = run the economy and US/states in the ground.

It's all about corruption. And it ain't just Democrats. Most of the corporate Republicans/RINOs are also fully onboard with pushing nutty wind/solar scams. Look at Texas with all their unreliable wind & solar, many other Republican states. It's shameful.

I'm worried that there are only 50 "likes" here. You need 50k. Thiel reportedly gave JD Vance in Ohio $15m. Hopefully you have a few of those type folks in your back pocket.

Shut Down the Weather Underground operating in SF. Along w WEF.

Pan is a sold out POS.

Weiner is a Pedo.

Schifty is a murdering Pedo

Swawell a treasonous lying sold out POS.

Why are there so many evil doers in California ?

Kamala too

Soros bought LA and SF DA’s.

Gawd it’s a filthy gutter of gladhanding corruption, that must be eradicated, or nothing will ever change.

Get a constitutional sheriff to arrest Gavin.

It’s the Sheriffs constitutional duty to keep the politicians in line and to honor their oath of office

Michael,

It is easy to show how worthless and dangerous francisco hairgell is, anyone willing to listen already knows it, but the details help.

If you want the "undecided" to gravitate your way, we need definitive, demonstrable and cost effective solutions. Promises without a plan isn't going to suffice.

Our problems are not climate change, not homelessness, not minimum wages, not adequate health care for any "marginalized group".

Our problems are corrupt government from top to bottom.

Our problems are run away spending, taxation without limits, and a destruction of middle California's working class farmers, ranchers, foresters, business owners and legal citizens.

Our problem as a past Governor said, is government.

What are your plans?

What are your priorities?

What are you willing to say and do that people will not like?

As you have said this is getting to be a deranged cult. End of times. I mean really. These fanatics just can’t understand why they can’t get more traction when one apocalyptic claim after the other doesn’t come to pass. If you need something to believe in so badly go find some new altar to worship at and leave the adults to deal with adult issues.

"these fanatics" are just well paid toadies. Look to the Davos Club-of-Rome, Malthusian Psychopaths for the real force behind these destructive policies.

Gavin Newsom is a feckless moron.

Bought by Getty Money, distant relationship to Nancy the treasonous B of wall street.

Screwed around on his first wife, apparently w men too

Married the second for social connections.

Gavi sold his soul to China, Soros, WEF and along w his soul. California.

Gavin if there was any justice would be arrested for treason .

"California nearly got 100% of its electricity from renewables for a period last weekend!"

Saw that tweet. 🤔

Last time they made that claim, the actual amount of time CA was on 98% "renewable energy" was about 4 minutes. How long was it this time?

I've thought California was a miserable place since my first visit there over 20 years ago. But I would almost move there to give you my vote, Mr. Shellenberger.

Newsom is irrelevant and so is the world of statist control. The book The Sovereign Individual: Mastering the Transition to the Information Age

by James Dale Davidson (Author), Lord William Rees-Mogg has the clearest articulation as to why.

Why aren’t you also discussing the constant Geoengineering of our California skies? They have sprayed the skies relentlessly this past week. They are stopping the rain with these chemicals along with poisoning our water, soil and air. Every farmer at our local farmers market talks about it!!! There is no bigger crisis than these chemicals being sprayed.

Fukushima was not caused by an earthquake. All the reactors survived the earthquake just fine, an Oil refinery was completely destroyed in a massive firestorm and a hydro dam also failed. The problem was Fukushima reactors were designed for a 15m max Tsunami but instead got a 30m. Idiots put their generators & fuel supply in the basement. Now all reactors in Japan have on hand diesel pumps with fuel supply, fresh water supply etc. It's not rocket science.
