US Democratic governors to participate in U.N. climate talks

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — U.S. governors want a seat at the table as international leaders prepare to gather in Scotland at a critical moment for global efforts to reduce fossil fuel emissions and slow the planet’s temperature rise.

At least a half dozen state governors — all Democrats — plan to attend parts of the two-week United Nation’s climate change conference in Glasgow, known as COP26. Though states aren’t official parties to talks, governors hold significant sway over the United States’ approach to tackling climate change by setting targets for reducing carbon emissions and transitioning to renewable energy.

Governors slated to attend are Inslee, New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, Hawaii Gov. David Ige, Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Oregon Gov. Kate Brown. Newsom announced Friday he would participate virtually due to unspecified family obligations. California Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis will instead lead the state’s delegation, which includes more than a dozen lawmakers and top administration officials.

“All eyes will be on Glasgow, with the world asking the question: ‘What are we doing to do about (climate change)?’” Kounalakis said. “And California has answers.”

Anytime you see anything about “climate” it’s code for “redistribution.”

Joe gets 10% of the action, and they just want to get their beaks wet as well.

Gee, since when do states get to engage in their own treaties and foreign policies? Maybe Republican states should invade Mexico or something. WTF?

And no adult is going to stand up and tell them they’re full of 🐂💨💩 either. If they cared, ‘IF’, they would eschew EVERYTHING associated with petroleum and any by products or derivatives. Step up CLIMAGEDDONISTS. It’ll be over soon.

Someone should ask the question: If these assholes don’t like petroleum, why do the own and drive gasoline powered automobiles?

Gulf, Exxon and Chevron should run commercials asking the question.

Resident Biden will make a cameo appearance prior to calling a “LID” and heading back to …Delaware for the weekend. Kamala will have several important conflicting appointments/appearances to attend and will be a no show. So Dr. Jill will “lead” the delegation of preening Democrat princes…er, governors. Sort of like herding cats.

If they cared about climate change they all would attend virtually. Besides their slice of the pie, someone must speak on behalf of biden cuz biden can’t do it on his own.

If they flew over the Canary Islands or Iceland on the way, they'd see gigatons of sunlight-blocking volcanic aerosols being spewed into the skies.

Am REALLY tired of seeing and hearing the DEMOCRAT party being referred to as the DemocratIC party.
No one refers to their political counterparts as members of the RepublicanIC party, and the actions of the DEMOCRAT Party are often NOT “democratic”, but autocratic, dictatorial, and sometimes evil.
So, if their party to be referenced incorrectly, I think the proper term is DEMONRAT!
