Former California Governor Jerry Brown mocked the idea of leaving California in an interview published by the New York Times on Monday, saying that the problems of climate change were global and could not be avoided.
Brown, 82, left office in 2019 after his fourth term. He made climate change his focus throughout his last two terms, often making alarmist claims such as falsely claiming the ocean would flood LAX, or blaming climate change for wildfires.

13 Sept: Forbes: Forests That Survive Megafires Prove Good Management Trumps Climate Change
by Michael Shellenberger
Over the last few days, California Governor Gavin Newsom, other politicians, and the news media have pointed to climate change as the single most important cause of historic, high-intensity megafires ripping through California and Oregon.
This isnt about ideology, tweeted Governor Newsom, adding What we are experiencing is an existential climate crisis.
But Californias leading forest scientists say that fire suppression and the accumulation of wood fuel, not climate change, are whats made Californias fires more intense.
Climate dries the [wood] fuels out and extends the fire season from 4-6 months to nearly year-round but its not the cause of the intensity of the fires, said US Forest Service scientist Malcolm North. The cause of that is fire suppression and the existing debt of wood fuel....

14 Sept: Climate Depot: They Know How to Prevent Megafires. Why Wont Anybody Listen?
PROPUBLICA, AUG 28: They Know How to Prevent Megafires. Why Wont Anybody Listen?
by Elizabeth Weil
The pattern is a form of insanity: We keep doing overzealous fire suppression across California landscapes where the fire poses little risk to people and structures. As a result, wildland fuels keep building up. At the same time, the climate grows hotter and drier. Then, boom: the inevitable. The wind blows down a power line, or lightning strikes dry grass, and an inferno ensues...
Academics believe that between 4.4 million and 11.8 million acres burned each year in prehistoric California. Between 1982 and 1998, Californias agency land managers burned, on average, about 30,000 acres a year. Between 1999 and 2017, that number dropped to an annual 13,000 acres. The state passed a few new laws in 2018 designed to facilitate more intentional burning. But few are optimistic this, alone, will lead to significant change. We live with a deathly backlog. In February 2020, Nature Sustainability published this terrifying conclusion: California would need to burn 20 million acres an area about the size of Maine to restabilize in terms of fire.

14 Sept: Climate Depot: Why does climate change spare Californias private forests? Private forests are not burning down because they are properly managed
Via California Policy Center
Climate change spares private forests:
Katy Grimes, editor of the California Globe, points out that the disparate impact of climate change on public and private forests suggests another factor is at play, namely the lack of proper forest management in government-run forests...

What an arrogant d**khead.
Another moonbeam heard from.
Too many move to ‘red’ states.
Then, they spend the rest of their lives trying to remake the ‘red’ state into the type of sh*thole they moved from.
Jerry fails to notice that the real estate bubble is going to crash, so if anyone wants to trade their $800,000 rancher in Cali for a $600,000 mansion in Texas, now’s the time.
Someplace where they don’t let people sh*t on the sidewalks.
Where Are You Going to Go?
...wherever my shitty voting habits take me! I’ll never learn!
Uh, to one of the other 49 states, Jer.
Anywhere BUT California, there Jerr. Anywhere east of that coast and west of a chunk of the east cost. A place known as America.
Rule by the elite, for the elite.
Anywhere you dummie. You think that CA is the Magic Kingdom; well, in a way it is - fake.
Hahahahaha...great answer.
Great answer.
Pray for our conservative friends in California.
How about Back to America, dumbass!
I know he's speaking in terms of climate, but his thinking is typical of Leftists who think they have the upper hand, namely the attitude of an abusive spouse.
You know who else mocked people wanting to leave???
Rev. Jim Jones (D-CCCallifornia)
You mean to one of the other 56 States, comrade.
