It’s gone beyond or political or philosophical preference. It’s become a sickness, a mental illness IMHO, perpetrated by the aforementioned causes on a whole generation (and into the next) that has now entered into adulthood as decision makers with subsequent misconceptions engrained in their minds, causing misguided and damaging policy.

It’s difficult to imagine a scenario where this reverses, other than an extreme level of failure that forces the issue, and as Joe pointed out, we are unfortunately headed in that direction. Another good example is an EV mandate in a region where the grid is already insufficient for current needs. Maybe hydrogen fuel cell technology will save us from this downward spiral while satisfying the “climate calamity” folks.

It’s always fun to ask these folks what ended the last ice age to make them consider that climate change, while perhaps inconvenient, is nothing new, has always been, and always will be, because that’s what climates do.

In the mean time, just so I don’t forget who’s in charge, I get one of these every month:

There has been talk of food shortages for a while now. Block interstate diesel trucks from CA agriculture? Hmmm

California's US Agriculture Share​

According to various sources, including the California Department of Food and Agriculture and the University of California, Davis, California is a significant player in the US agricultural industry. Here are some key statistics:
  • Value of Agricultural Production: California’s agricultural production accounted for approximately 12% of the total US agricultural value in 2017, with a gross value of $45.2 billion. (Source: 2017 Census of Agriculture)
  • Top Producer: California is the top-producing state in the US, generating more agricultural revenue than any other state. In 2015, California’s agricultural cash receipts exceeded those of the next 10 states combined. (Source: United States Department of Agriculture)
  • Commodity Leadership: California is the sole producer (99% or more) of many specialty crops, including almonds, artichokes, clingstone peaches, dried plums (prunes), figs, garlic, olives, persimmons, pistachios, pomegranates, raisins, sweet rice, and walnuts. (Source: California Agriculture News Today, 2016)
  • Organic Production: California organic product sales have increased by 18.2% from $9.4 billion in 2018 to $11.1 billion in 2022, with organic production covering 1.83 million acres in the state. (Source: University of California, Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics)
These statistics demonstrate California’s substantial contribution to the US agricultural industry, with a significant share of national production and exports. The state’s unique climate, soil, and water resources, combined with its innovative agricultural practices and research, enable California to maintain its position as a leader in US agriculture.
 
What baffles me is that this is all attributed to measuring a molecule that makes up 0.04% of all air

Of that amount , only 4% is influenced by man using the most agressive math.

So man is responsible for 0.0016% of all particles and for some reason California is worried about that small insignificant amount.

This is a money grab, plain and simple. No science, no actual evidence, but tons of money being thrown at a non existent issue.


To make this clearer,

Line up 100,000 people.

2 of those people (rounding up from 1.6) are allergic to meat, fruits, peanuts.

Because of those 2 people the remaining 100,000 must only eat vegetables and no nuts.

And the ones making the rules are doing so while enjoying steak, fruits and nuts.
