(CNSNews.com) - California Gov. Jerry Brown predicted that if carbon emissions aren’t reduced, billions of people will die from “heat events,” and one billion will be subjected to vector diseases.
“When you pick up the paper or turn on cable news, you’d think it’s another planet. It’s all about the nonsense of Washington, and carbon emissions are growing, and we’ve got to radically turn that around, or the migrations you’re seeing now are going to be child’s play,” Brown told reporters Tuesday at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
“We’re going to have widespread disruption, more conflicts, more terrorism, more insecurity because of climate disruption. The prospect is 3 billion people on this planet will be subject to fatal lethal heat events – 3 billion – and 1 billion will be subjected to vector diseases that they’re not now subject to now,” he said. “This is a horror.”
Brown was among a number of governors who established an alliance to reduce climate change in response to President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord.
When asked what states can reasonably do about climate change, Brown said, “California has adopted an extension of this cap and trade program, which will give us 20 percent of our greenhouse gas reduction. That’s a very important measure that would have gone out of existence in 2020, and that measure was voted by Republicans. It wouldn’t have passed without Republican support.”

Nut job.
Grain of salt time and a recent reminder: this is the same person who believes California has a budget surplus. Anyone who can twist the accounts to come up with that howler is bound to have no problem with the “science” of AGW.
Meanwhile, England estimates that 2,000 more people died in England due to the exceptionally cold winter over normal winters. Winter wheat crop failures are already being recorded for Canada and Northern US due to winter weather extending into mid-spring. Of course the “science” tells us that these are signs global warming is intensifying. Pffft...

Well progressives are in favor of population control.
Life flourishes on earth when CO2 levels are high. It is plant food. During the Triasic, Jurassic and Cretaceous CO2 levels were much higher than today, many times higher.
Plants flourished and thus provided the means for giant dinosaurs to live. The huge coal deposits of the Carboniferous were made by these increased CO2 levels. In reality today we are living in a CO2 desert. High CO2 levels insure great growth of plant life and food. Low CO2 levels can lead to an extinction event. In reality today we are living not far above extinction event levels of CO2.
CO2 IS PLANT FOOD!
Given the world is suffering from unsustainable population growth, the loss of 3 billion will do it and us some good, right Jerry?
Good,
Too damn many folks in this world anyway.
And on the MS Gulf coast we still use our heaters at night - pretty much unheard of in late April....
They will all be liberal.
But yinz guys feel the biggest threat to this planet is overpopulation.
So, what’s the downside for you?
Well, more like from fire and brimstone.
Money quote: "The resulting warming [under the status quo] would be below the target set at the Paris agreement."
Oh really? This whole multi-billion scam, even if cranked up to the max, would deliver "results" not effectively different than what's trending now?
Oh, good.
Now we can breathe again.
Folks, CO2 is not a pollutant. It's an atmospheric fertilizer. If it increased threefold it would bring us up much closer to the optimal levels they aim for in greenhouses. You know: to produce lush plant growth.
The ordinary, lifegiving process of organic decompositon produces robust amounts of the choicest of greenhouse gases: methane, water vapor, and CO2. I'm gonna take my life in my hands and triple my compost pile. Greenhouse optimization, here we come!
Brown is pissed because those 3 billion will be among the world’s most poor thus potential asylum seekers, thus most likely future democrat voting Californians.
