Build a giant dome over it like they did with Springfield in the Simpsons. Then air condition it. Added bonus: the nutters couldn’t get out and bother the rest of us.

Fans on the beach to pull in cool air from the ocean, and fans on the hills to suck out the smog. That should work great!

The problem is that the stupid doesn’t hurt enough.

Globally, 2016 was the warmest year on record.

The RATs just keep telling the same lies over and over again.

They need to cancel daylight saving time. The extra hour of daylight is what causes global warming.

Hey Eric.....did you ever give the rate payers a apology or stop the slush fund for the union bosses at the LADWP? You know the one where only high ranking bosses used those credit cards to buy $1000 meals? Trips to Vegas? 10 years was 40million of ratepayer money.

How much money are you going to personally make from this scam Eric?

3 degrees over 20 years? That sounds doable. The first five or six years you can show no results or fudge the numbers a bit, and still call it a success. After that the mayor will be in a different office and will have basked in the glory of his success. He will probably be governor by then. The next mayor can scrap the program with little or no fanfare and the whole thing will be forgotten. But the real goal will have been met, which was to get the mayor his accolades.

Deport all the illegal aliens.
That would reduce the CO2 and methane emissions.

“Big city, lots of people who drive everywhere on loads of concrete roads.”

Yep. Deport 3+ Million Illegals and bulldoze East LA. Make it a smelt refuge.

And LA would cease to be a sanctuary city because the crimaliens would not be able to get into the dome.

Since there are about 2 million crimaliens in Los Angeles and most generate about 150 Watts continuously, sending the Mexicans back home should make Los Angeles cooler.

It’s actually not that stupid, not nearly as stupid as the “stop global warming” attempt itself. I lived in L.A. until about a year ago, where I lived was somewhat in the middle of the city, but locally, it was a superblock with thousands of trees and half of the area covered in grass and shrubbery. On any given summer day, the temperature difference between my patio and the intersection about 200 yards away was 10-15 degrees. It’s idiotic to spend trillions to lower the global temperature by maybe half of a degree at best, when you can plant some trees and put in a lawn and lower it where you live by 10 degrees.

So when are they going to start taking out all the concrete and plant grass and trees in its place?
