I didn't see this last September when it was in the news so posting it now.

Is "climate resiliency" the latest paint job on climate politics?

Invest state pensions in climate change? What could possibly go wrong!? /s

Governor Newsom will travel to New York City next week to participate in New York Climate Week events and discuss California’s climate leadership in sustainability, clean energy and fuel standards at the World Economic Forum.

I see lawsuits centered around “breach of fiduciary responsibility” against officers of CalPers if the Governor’s plan goes into effect.

I guess if they raid state employee pension plans for $3-400 billion, they can bring back the bullet train to nowhere.

Should we feel sorry for California state employees?

A few of them, maybe, but mostly nah.

Then there's Newsome’s soluion for homelessness: compelling doctors to write “Prescriptions for Houses”...........
a-n-o-t-h-e-r stale decrepit “Progressive” idea.....from the horse and buggy days.

Like Bernie saying: “I will be calling for public ownership of the telephone company.”

Bernie is stuck on stupid......he thinks “the telephone company” is still AT&T.

REALITY CHECK There are literally 1,500 telephone companies phone companies serving our nation...... and that’s not counting the copious number of data center providers, metro cable providers, and networks built within networks.

The pre-1984 ATT broke up into Regional Bells, such as Pac Bell, Bell South, Bell Atlantic, etc. And since then, we’ve seen the rise of Verizon, T-Mobile USA, etc.

Bernie hasn’t the foggiest idea how this web of companies cooperate together to deliver the best networks of any nation with high speed internet and WiFi access almost everywhere. (hat tip poconopundit)

We need to have an entrance exam for Presidential candidates ....and for all public offices.

So much for “Progress”.

Maybe restart Solyndra?

"Solyndra was a manufacturer of cylindrical panels of copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) thin film solar cells based in Fremont, California."

Newscum: “Buy our green filth or your pensions will burn!”

Brilliant. Force people to buy into fake green tech or their lifetime of work and built up pensions will collapse since they were invested into fake green tech.

Pensions are underfunded already. Who is going to bail them out when they go broke.

More like RAID state pension funds, to create shady Solyndra-like shell companies which will seem to be viable, but only long enough for the politicians & their campaign donors to divide up the spoils amongst themselves, cook the books, & run.
Union bosses will want their cut, too, in exchange for selling out the rank & file to this scheme.

It’ll all follow the Clinton Global Initiative model.

Well said. President Trump has been cutting back on funds likes to “appropriate” so this must be the latest gambit for CA to pocket coup funds. :/

global leaders converge in New York City for Climate Week

lol

They will use a carbon footprint the size of a small African nation's yearly output by doing so....

If these "leaders" want to save the planet, they just need to reduce their own carbon footprint to zero.

It is urgent that they do so immediately!
