Nothing says “fossil fuels are killing the climate!!!!!!” like inviting Warmists to fly in from all over the world. This was first reported by the LA Times a few days ago, and now it has come to fruition
(Mashable) California Governor Jerry Brown is not about to take a back seat to President Donald Trump when it comes to summit meetings, or for that matter, anything else. (I doubt Trump cares, but, hey, carry on with your TDS)
On Thursday, as world leaders gathered in Germany for a high-stakes G-20 Summit meeting, during which climate change policies will be a major source of tension, Brown announced he will be holding a Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco in 2018.
Since President Trump declared that the U.S. intends to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement, Brown has been using his status as the governor of the most populous state — and world’s sixth-largest economy — to negotiate directly with foreign governments, including China and Canada, on climate policies.
That’s super! Suddenly, Leftists are really, really interested in this whole federalism thing. I wonder what the carbon footprint is for having people fly in from all over the world?
“President Trump is trying to get out of the Paris Agreement, but he doesn’t speak for the rest of America. We in California and in states all across America believe it’s time to act, it’s time to join together and that’s why at this Climate Action Summit we’re going to get it done,” Brown said.
No, he just speaks for most of America.
Since Trump’s Paris Agreement announcement on June 1, dozens of mayors and 13 governors have bucked the White House and said they intend to meet the agreement’s goals anyway.
Again, it’s doubtful Trump cares. He in no way has attempted to stop states and municipalities from implementing their own silly climate change rules. He’s made zero statements on wanting to stop them. He. Doesn’t. Care. There is no bucking. Just TDS. And a rediscovery of federalism.
