Will we be ‘wiped out?’ How climate change is affecting California
Sacramento Bee ^ | November 13, 2017 | By Christopher Cadelago

California could one day be uninhabitable. Fire. Heat. Floods. Infestation. Disease. Suffering.

Scientists have for years warned about the ravaging consequences of a warming planet. Decamping for the 23rd session of the Conference of the Parties to the U.N. Convention on Climate Change, California academics and political leaders were mulling how to better deploy the distressing projections to give unwary citizens a better understanding of what’s at stake and compel them to see the wisdom of embracing sustainability.

“This is bad stuff. It doesn’t get any worse,” Gov. Jerry Brown lamented to scientists, religious and political leaders in Europe ahead of the conference. “The threat is profound. It will alter human civilization. It’s not decades away. It’s closer than you think,” the Democratic governor added later.

Rising temperatures reaching a tipping point would cause massive destruction, exacerbating inequality, poverty and migration patterns. The warnings are embedded in the speeches and calls to action by Americans at the conference in Germany.

“The science is getting clearer and the extreme weather events are getting more frequent. All of that leads to more understanding, more clarity and then more action,” Brown said on a panel in Bonn. “The only question is will human beings be able to react in time, or will we have to get such an extreme event that we get wiped out?”

Jerry and the Bay Area need to split off and form their own country.

The Peoples Democratic Republic of San Francisco.

We all know the issue with the Lying Left isn’t “weather”, it’s the lie of “MAN-CAUSED WEATHER” as yet another excuse for the Lying Leftist goal of global totalitarian government, Goebbels being an appropriate poster child of the Lying Left.

So this is why Jerry Brown is spending tax money like there’s no tomorrow.

Anybody else think of Belushi in Blues Brothers?

Hey, what happened?

I thought Barry The Gay was going to raise his hand and the sea levels would fall.

Pssst! The invasions, ridiculous cost of living, and repulsive laws have already made CA uninhabitable.

California is, on the whole, a _DESERT_.
The only reason there’s any agricultural & urban population there at all is (A) ports, and (B) redistribution of every drop of fresh water they can confiscate from neighboring states. They’re already straining the limits of dependency far beyond what seems the laws of physics, thanks to a prolonged meteorological calm; just _normal_ long-term “climate change” variations should be enough to wipe out a large swath of human residency & activity there.

(And having what’s-his-name staring at me when I reply to your posts is getting on my nerves. I suppose that’s the point...)

Global warming started over 20,000 years ago, is going on right now, and this is what the earth will look like when the polar caps finally melt. Florida will be impacted more than California.
