The debate is over, you guys

Strange how they keep telling us year after year after year that the debate is over and we keep have this debate, right? Anyhow, you know that if Gavin had take some sort of hybrid or EV this would have been highlighted by the media, so, we can safely assume he took a fossil fueled trip
Amid ashes, California governor fires away on climate change
California Gov. Newsom offered some of his most impassioned comments on climate change, denouncing the “ideological BS†of those who deny the danger and vowing Friday to accelerate the state’s already ambitious goals for reducing greenhouse gases.
Newsom spoke against a backdrop of ghost-like trees and ground covered in snow-like gray ash left by the deadliest of the record-breaking fires that have charred huge swaths of California in recent weeks.
“The data is self-evident, the experience that we have in the state of California just underscoring the reality of the ravages of climate change,†he said. “Mother Nature is physics, biology and chemistry. She bats last and she bats one thousand. That’s the reality we’re facing, the smash mouth reality — this perfect storm. The debate is over around climate change.â€
Two Republican state lawmakers who represent the Northern California region where Newsom spoke countered that the governor is using climate change as an excuse for years of failed policies by fellow Democrats who control nearly all aspects of California government. (snip)
Republican state Sen. Jim Nielsen and Assemblyman James Gallagher countered that the cause of recent devastating wildfires and electricity blackouts “is decades of bad policy enacted by Democrats, not climate change.â€
“The excuse of climate change cannot be used to deflect from the fundamental failure to address the fuels build-up in our forests that are the cause of these devastating fires,†they said in a statement. “These same misguided policy decisions have led to rolling blackouts and an energy grid that is falling apart.â€
Good news, Californians: Gavin wants more of the same
The state’s ambitious goal of using 100% clean energy by 2045 “is inadequate,†Newsom argued. “We’re going to have to be more aggressive in terms of meeting our goals much sooner.â€
He said the state must push to more quickly adopt electric vehicles and other non-polluting transportation, and ordered the heads of his environmental protection and natural resources agencies to explore more changes to the state’s industrial and agricultural policies.
Again, funny how Gavin is talking about EVs yet I have found not one story on this same appearance by Gavin where they mention how he got to the site. Not one question such as “if EVs are so important, why didn’t you drive one here?”
And, you know what? Those of you Californians who voted for Gavin and Democratic Party politicians and policies need to stick around. You shouldn’t be allowed to escape to other states like Arizona. You should have to deal with the fallout of your beliefs.

Sure, those are in Oregon and Washington, but, are they named Climate Change?
He said the state must push to more quickly adopt electric vehicles
… and just ignore these rolling blackouts we have EVERY summer that other states do not have.
Lolgf
Why hasn’t a true-blue Californian pumped three into this demons brainpan already?
Would have loved to see an inmate from one of the convict hand crews bury a pulaski in this clowns skull.
Two calls to assassinate the Governor of California! You make TEACH proud!
There is no evidence that Mr. Acord supports antifa, although he is a supporter of BLM. His internet posts CRITICIZE looting and rioting.
Has he denounced them? If he hasn’t denounced them, they he must support them.
That’s your “logic” with Trump.
TEACH typed: Those of you Californians who voted for Gavin and Democratic Party politicians and policies need to stick around. You shouldn’t be allowed to escape to other states like Arizona. You should have to deal with the fallout of your beliefs.
Those of you “Americans” who voted for Donnie and Republican Party politicians and policies need to pony up extra fees for Donnie’s outrageous expansion of military spending and national debt. You should have to deal with the fallout of your beliefs. Maybe volunteer at hospitals to help care for the 250,000 innocent Americans dying of the Orange Plague.
How far do you think Gov Newsom had to travel from his home in Sacramento to reach the fires? The state of California owns and operates a fleet of vehicles that range from electric compact vehicles to heavy-duty trucks. Cost and performance, reduction of air emissions, and improved fuel efficiency have been at the forefront of vehicle purchasing decisions, illustrating the state’s commitment to purchasing vehicles with the lowest environmental impacts. TEACH fantasizes that since the news article didn’t specify an EV, that can only prove that Newsom rode in a 4 mpg SUV. Nice try. Maybe he rode a bicycle the 5 miles to the fire.

The fallout is 3, maybe 4, peace accords.
The fallout is 11,000 dead, according to CDC; 352 if you believe the guys who went through the death certs.
The fallout is The GDPNow model estimate for real GDP growth (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the third quarter of 2020 is 30.8% on September 10, up from 29.6% on September 3, according to the Atlanta Fed.
After last week’s release of the employment report by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and this morning’s releases by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and U.S. Census Bureau, the nowcasts of third-quarter real gross private domestic investment growth and third-quarter real government spending growth increased from 29.6% and 17.0%, respectively, to 35.1% and 17.9%, respectively.

Teach’s question remains since they never mentioned it. Just because he has them doesn’t mean he used one.
And, of course, Jeffery doesn’t want to address the fact all that “environmental” policy caused the fires.
Porter Good’s Fluffer, Sibley, sees the lack of evidence being equivalent to evidence.
Since the article didn’t mention an EV it had to have been a gas vehicle. The article didn’t mention a gas-guzzler either, so it could have been a bicycle.
Maybe no one asked why he didn’t take an EV because he took an EV, hence no need to ask a stupid question (unless OAN was there).
Porter Good’s Fluffer, Sibley, presented no evidence that environmental policy caused the fires.
Well, we all know about the harm the sin of omission can do.

Hold my Canada Dry.
From Mother Jones yet.
Did you read the article?
Today’s monster fires result largely from three human forces: taxpayer-funded fire suppression that has made the forest a tinderbox; policies that encourage construction in places that are clearly prone to burning; and climate change, which has worsened everything.
In the latest piece of evidence, a study published in July by the American Geophysical Union concluded that climate change is “very likely†the main reason that, between 1972 and 2018, the acreage burned annually in California jumped fivefold and the acreage burned in summertime forest fires surged eightfold. A warming climate has dried the ground and the vegetation on it, the study found, leaving them readier to burn.
Since climate change is a scam by Lefties who hate prosperity, I guess that leaves taxpayer-funded fire suppression that has made the forest a tinderbox.
