Does California's Gov. Gavin Newsom ever stop talking about his state's "climate leadership"?
And we’re a state that at our best — not always — but at our best, we believe the world, in many respects, looks to us to see that it’s possible to live together and advance together across many imaginable differences.
And that – that absolutely is the case when it comes to the issue of addressing the crisis of our time in climate change.
...
We look forward to maintaining our position of leadership. And we look forward to all of us bringing into our positions of formal authority, the moral authority that is needed and demands of this time.
Had enough?
That's what Newsom pontificated to Pope Francis last month on a junket to the Vatican and then placed on his gubernatorial website.
That's ironic.
Today's San Diego Union-Tribune has a hit-it-out-of-the-ballpark editorial on Newsom's (and Joe Biden's) much-touted "climate leadership."
By any objective standard, the southern coast of San Diego County is enduring a long-running environmental nightmare. Decades of billions of gallons of untreated human waste flowing north from broken sewage infrastructure in Tijuana have sickened a vast number of surfers and swimmers and many Navy SEALs training at Coronado. Especially because of ailments reported by border agents, some doctors worry that the health threat goes far beyond active ocean users to include those who spend extended time in coastal areas and breathe air that often smells like a filthy portable toilet.
Now there is fresh confirmation of how uniquely awful this problem is. The Surfrider Foundation has released a report on 567 sites in which it tested water for unsafe bacteria levels and found Imperial Beach — which has been closed for more than two years

ACCORDING TO THE REPORT:
Every single water sample from the beach was found to be unsafe. The next worst U.S. beach had a little more than half its samples with excessive bacteria.
This finding was no surprise, given previous studies showing heavy metals, toxic chemicals and bacteria in sewage from south of the border. In 2017 alone — when sewage spills were common but not nearly as severe as in recent years — 34,000 illnesses were linked to local water pollution, according to a a Scripps Institution of Oceanography study.
But what remains a surprise is how little is being done to immediately address this problem.
Two or three days ago the story hit the headlines Californians Pay Top Price In The Country For Marijuana.🥇
So now there is another #1. Filthiest beaches.🥇
Gavin’s publicity for his achievements is mounting.
The pollution is causing otters to eat surfboards and knaw on pier pilings. Marine biologist are baffled.
Homeless people in the tens on sidewalks should sue. Shouldn’t have to be around the filth washing down to the waters that lead to the beaches.
In Michigan there are little signs at curb drains and elsewhere saying “Do Not Dispose of Waste. Outlets Run To River.” They have a profile of a fish.

One of the TV supplement doctors (Amen Clinics) says the coast of Florida has tested fish that have drugs people threw out.
Story:
To this point, a recent research project at Florida International University discovered some alarming information about the sea life they have been studying.
During the past few years, scientists analyzed the tissue and blood of more than 90 bonefish in Biscayne Bay and the Florida Keys.
On average, they found 7 medications in each fish—one even had 17 different meds in it! Antidepressants, pain relievers, antibiotics, and blood pressure drugs were among the many ones identified.
The same held true for the fish, crabs, and shrimp they prey on. And while bonefish in this area are “catch and release” only, many other ocean species live in the same waters too.
Some biologists have known that numerous pharmaceuticals—most commonly antidepressants—are detectable in inland stream fish too.
Aside from being disturbing, the reason for this is pretty gross.
Anyone who takes a medication eventually eliminates it through their bladder or bowels, sending it into the septic system. According to ecologists studying this problem, the technology of many wastewater plants is insufficient to eliminate invisible contaminants, like medications, before the processed wastewater gets discharged into the ocean, streams, and other waterways.

In all fairness, the filthy beaches around San Diego are the result of Mexico using the Tijuana River as an open sewer. Nothing any governor of California can do about it.
Except that he supports the policies which enable an open border and all the corruption which facilitates both a growing sewage problem and worsening social situation in his state.
Not impressed with your defense.
Not defending him, just pointing out the facts. And what a good neighbor Mexico is. He's got plenty to answer for without making shut up.
I have the cure for California’s climate crisis. Cut down some of those mountains which trap the smog. This will circulate the air and release any trapped gasses.
Remembering Flint MI, democrats should never be near water regulation.
Your sarcasm is quite hilarious.
