Jerry, (GET HELP)
California use to be a STATE, NOT A COUNTRY!
With President Donald Trump pulling the U.S. out of the Paris climate accord, China and California signed an agreement Tuesday to work together on reducing emissions, as the state's governor warned that "disaster still looms" without urgent action.
Gov. Jerry Brown told The Associated Press at an international clean energy conference in Beijing that Trump's decision to pull the U.S. out of the Paris agreement will ultimately prove only a temporary setback.
For now, he said, China, European countries and individual U.S. states will fill the gap left by the federal government's move to abdicate leadership on the issue.
"Nobody can stay on the sidelines. We can't afford any dropouts in the tremendous human challenge to make the transition to a sustainable future," Brown said. "Disaster still looms and we've got to make the turn."
Brown later held a closed-door meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, during which the two pledged to expand trade between California and China with an emphasis on so-called green technologies that could help address climate change, Brown said. Trump's announcement last week that he wants to pull out of the Paris accord did not come up, according to the governor.
California wants to be a country as they cannot stand the United States of America & want out.
It still ain’t a country....
They are broke
You left out a minor detail
Ala Texas, California was an independent Republic, then a State, and now is making determined efforts to realize its full potential as a state of anarchy and perversion.
Their governor has just signed on to new burdens for the people of his state and few if any benefits.
Californians will be paying for this for years to come.
Let it secede. Go, already.
