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.
“California can make a significant contribution to advancing the cause of dealing with climate change, irrespective of what goes on in Washington,” Mr. Brown said in an interview. “I wouldn’t underestimate California’s resolve if everything moves in this extreme climate denial direction. Yes, we will take action.”

CA will lose industry, jobs, revenue.
Like I said. Troops. Martial Law.
Some call it treason.
California. ROTFL!
They’ve already dug it, jumped in and are pulling the dirt in on themselves
Yep.
And the problem is that California will destroy its economy and then they will move to other states and bring their commie ideas with them.
If business has a higher cost, along with the higher cost of living brought on by “globull werming” California will slip further into bankruptcy. No skin off of my teeth.
Calif. idiots aren’t aware 1/3 of California’s pollution comes from China.
If libs supported the 9th,10th Amendments,they would have states rights on many issues.
“California Liberals will fight Trump to the last dime of YOUR money.”
The only thing keeping CA from descending quickly into a Venezuela-like morass is the support it gets from the rest of the country.
The more CA goes off the deep end, the more working, rational people will move out and the worse off CA will be.
I’m looking forward to cutting of federal funds from sanctuary cities. CA can’t afford its generous welfare (to illegal aliens) without outside support.
