Here in California, we have one of the more deluded Governors in history, Jerry Brown. He has gotten his sobriquet “Governor Moonbeam” the old fashioned way … he earned it honestly through things like maniacally supporting his multibillion-dollar “Bullet Train To Nowhere“, and plenty more craziness-du-jour.
But I never thought that even Governor Moonbeam could be this far detached from reality. Here’s what he said two weeks ago on C-SPAN.
So climate now causes terrorism, and that’s just for starters. The real news is that “three billion people”, almost half of the population of the planet, will die from “fatal lethal heat events”.
I suppose that’s as opposed to those dying from non-fatal lethal heat events, but still … say what???
Riiight … welcome to Californistan, where even the Governor is clearly smoking something.

He sure does his part in contributing hot air.
Brown has always been a Marxist. Go ahead, challenge me. Unlike his father he went to the dark side big time.
Jerry Brown, Governor Moon Beam, Emperor Moon Beam, what a joke. He does not even command an Army, let alone a Navy and no Air Force and Thankfully no nuclear weapons that he could launch against his Enemies in Orange County or Bishop, or even Owens Valley … so to soothe his “manly rages” of sexual dominance.
Ha ha
I saw this headline today:
University of Texas to Treat Masculinity as a ‘Mental Health’ Issue
That’s the school in Austin. That’s where Texas keeps them isolated.
I have always found that level of crackpottery among people who don’t smoke…
Or who never inhaled….
i was thinking maybe he NEEDS to smoke..or have a nice big brownie, to make him siddown n stfu;-)
Jerry Brown just hasn’t been the same since he split up with
Linda Ronstadt.
Please, clearly indicate articles by Willis Eschenbach, so they can be safely ignored without opening. Thank you.
Didn’t you write this before?
Didn’t you write this before?
And isn’t ‘Willis Eschenbach’ clearly written under the title?
By the way, you misspelled your last name.
On the WUWT home page the author is not indicated.
Willis lies, as usual.
Agreed. The man is pure evil. Like … CO₂ evil …
Alexander Feht April 30, 2018 at 9:56 pm Edit
Dear god, you are petty as well as unobservant. I said NOTHING about the WUWT home page. Learn to read.
And I do love how you claim you want to avoid my posts, and yet … here you are once again, whining about one of my posts.
w.
Saying something you don’t want to hear, doesn’t make him a liar.
You on the other are lying about Willis being a liar.
Alexander Feht April 30, 2018 at 7:47 pm
Please, learn to read. My name is right there under the title, in bold type. If you don’t see that, don’t whine to us about your congenital blindness.
You’re the guy whose extensive knowledge of solar physics entitled you to tell Leif Svalgaard he’s not a scientist … as if. Having done that, do you truly think anyone cares about you being all butthurt because you’re too careless to read the head of the post?
I hear they have a special “Crying Room” for folks like you at some colleges … go there, we’re not interested.
w.
To be fair to A. Feht:
The opening page of WUWT does not indicate the author.
One has to “open” the post to find who the author is.
In contrast, the name Feht appears at the top of his comments, and
thus, can be ignored.
Thanks for small favors.
Cheeers.
Is reading the author’s name overtaxing your mental capacity?
You know adults can read the byline, see it by someone they don’t care to read from and move on. non-adults whine instead.
The problem is, there is no author’s name on home page. Therefore, I need to open the article to see, whose article it is. Is this a simple enough explanation for you, or you need pictures to understand?
That’s awful, you really contact the UN’s Human Rights Commission.
Alexander Feht May 1, 2018 at 1:43 pm
I’m sorry, but you seem to have mistaken me for someone who cares about your whining regarding how you wasted three seconds of your precious time …

Alexander Feht
Good job. Just like kindergarten.
You really put the flake in snowflake.
Yes, nothing that Willis Eschenbach can say or write is worth even three seconds of my time.
Oh poor baby, it’s such a burden for you to click on an article read a by line and move on with your life. How do you ever cope. Oh, that’s right by whining like the little snowflake that you are.
Alexander Feht May 2, 2018 at 2:53 am
And despite that, here you are again, whining while posting your seventh comment on my post … dude, I’m living rent-free in your head. Get a life!

Moonbeam Brown got his nickname in the 1970s when instead of giving the states 6 billion dollar surplus back to voters he proposed to use it for a California communication satellite which would beam something similar to public television for the state. Statenwas grossly overspending vs. other states as well. It was his counter to prop 13.
great post. thanks. i tweeted it.
Meanwhile, a couple million Californians live out in the desert, where temperatures regularly go above 115F and occasionally above 125F, and a lot of ’em don’t have air conditioning. When I lived in the desert, I spent a lot of days working outside in 117F to 122F temps … and LIVED!!

“, I spent a lot of days working outside in 117F to 122F temps … and LIVED!!”
We’ve only got your word for that !!!
What, he’s a zombie?
Climate change causes mass migration; which is good, because increased “diversity”.
Right? Riiiiight?
Or is a flood of people coming from a remote location, not speaking the language of the country, with no qualification what so ever, no shared values, and no desire to assimilate, suddenly a bad thing?
s-t : “is a flood of people coming from a remote location … a bad thing?”
Are they carrying fruit? Try bringing an apple into California.
Governor Brown’smate fanaticism cost a tremendous loss of life and property in California wildfires. The latest science shows human ignitions increased the fire season 3 fold over natural fires, caused more fires and ignited more fires with higher moisture content than natural fires. Yet Governor Moonbeam vetoed a bipartisan bill to bury power lines, and reduce human ignitions. Instead Brown misleadingly ranted about climate change as the cause of those fires, either to cover his sorry ass, or because he is obsessed with bad science. The sooner he leaves office the better.

That should read “Brown’s climate fanaticism”
Glad you cleared that up. I was wondering about his mate and the mate’s fanaticism.
Or maybe it was just the wine.
The first were started with laser. Geoengineered.
Fires…
In California Gov. Brown was responsible for Unionization of State Public Employee’s and stealing Highway funds for the general fund in the 70’s. Deja Vu we elected him again…..
His excuse for the highway funds was that with poor highways more people would bicycle or carpool. To this day the state is suffering for the freeways that were not built in the 1970s. Now it is impossible because of strong nimbyism and the fact that the cities are now built up.
“WE’VE GOT TO TURN THAT AROUND OR THE MIGRATIONS WE SEE NOW ARE CHILD’S PLAY…”
Migrations caused by fatal lethal heat events?
(Then nothing at all to do with fatal lethal groundless war events I guess?)
The only noteworthy accomplishment in Jerry Brown’s long career…
…Linda Ronstadt.
In August 2013, she revealed to AARP that she has Parkinson’s disease, and “can no longer sing a note.”
That’s sad.
‘That doesn’t mean it’s not a big problem’
Then fer gorsakes stop trying to disrupt the climate Jerry and be serious-

Dead, deader, lethal fatal … (So, it’s possible to be even more dead than deader!)
deaderer
Of course!
deader than dead by a factor of log 2(dead) ……. That’s deader but not deadest.
The asymptotic approach to death. We approach ever closer to the maximum amount of deadness, but never reach it.
That seems a good description of current “climate science”.
The name “Moonbeam” is certainly appropriate for Brown. However the greater worry is that millions of Californians, despite his record, continue to vote for him. With saner Californians, who are fed up with the state’s flaky policies, leaving in large numbers, the hope for change is not good. In fact, California faces much greater danger from Brown and his ilk than from any purported environmental threat.
I worry more about the country in the next over reach presidency or Rahm Emanuel-crisis opportunity moment. That projection of power for advocacy sake is the main risk.
Predictions of horror everywhere.
For 40 years this has been going on tens of thousands of them.
Only 1 of those that time has expired on has come true.
Al Gore has become a green billionaire.
If people keep voting him in; then this proves that democracy is the fast road to hell. Unfortunately I cant think of a better system to replace it , unless it is an all knowing benevolent dictator but those are in short supply.
The founders said that democracy could only survive w/an ethical and well-educated populace. So the cultural marxists took that clue and sought & are still seeking to destroy ethics and education.
There is indeed a seeming attack on both ethics and education in our public schools. The current generation is claimed to be less educated than their parents. Their ethics is evident from the amount of plagiarism on homework, to say nothing of their work ethic. There are notable exceptions, but they are stark.
It’s not what the guy is smoking and I’m sorry peeps, but to suggest such a thing is childish ad-hominism. Is THAT really the best you can come up with but, the very fact that you do reinforces my theory – the one that diet is destroying us. The consumption of processed starch and refined sugar. Plus booze.
The responses to his ‘craziness’ are just as ‘crazed’ as what prompted them. (Nice positive feedback there huh)
And all as recommended by doctors, nutritionists, scientists and Government.
If Governor Jerry really does have ‘something wrong with him’, and it is a VERY real possibility, it will be Type 3 diabetes – the advanced stage of which is called Alzheimers.
The diagnosis starts at a lower level in the UK with, for men, a waist size of 37″ or greater – 40″ in the US. That starts you on Type 2 and Type 3 is simply the progression of that.
No excuses.
Didn’t it all kick off with Eisenhower’s heart attack – nobody knew of such things previously although his trigger was huge tobacco consumption.
Here’s 3 things to think about:
Were historic civilisations, eg Greeks or Romans, spending 18% of their entire Gross Domestic Product on healthcare. I’d venture they’d still be around now to tell us!
There is a suggestion that a return to the diets we had in 1965 would pretty well eliminate nearly all the ‘diseases of modern man’. Hypertension, stroke, diabetes, dementia especially.
Question- would this Climate Change ‘insanity’ have got such a hold back then?
On the subject of Kwashkior; and the now widespread malnourishment of tiny babies via the use of Formula Milk by busy mums, who now have the ‘freedom’ to go to work and be bullied, stressed and harassed by their employer. OK. We know they’re stressed. They get fat, swallow vast amounts of Prozac and are increasingly killing themselves.
So: we all know how modern teenagers behave and it is generally accepted that they are ‘genetically programmed’ to do so, or possibly something to do with ‘hormones’
Is that a fact?
How did teenagers behave during the Little Ice Age, the Roman Warm Period, The Medieval Warm Period.
Come on now, don’t be shy. We know everything else about those times so what were teenagers like then?
Otherwise I suggest that Teenage Angst is an expression of Kwashkior and no amount of money, intelligence or education can *ever* repair the damage inflicted within the first 36 months of life.
always forget summat doncha – its Honesty Time again. Truthfulness with yourself.
Are you or peeps you know familiar with Peripheral Neuritis?
Pins & Needles, tingling, hot, cold or numb sensations in fingers, hands and feet.
Take care now because that is one of the first signs of damage to you coming from (excess) sugar and or (excess) booze.
But just what is ‘excess’?
Of course I hear the cry go up
(Ain’t that beautiful, its the alcohol (bringing on neuritis) that’s making them feel cold and dead long before they actually are)
OK. have it your way.
But when similarly trained and educated scientists tell us that the weather/climate are going to he11, you won’t take a word of it
How does that work?
2 very real problems with neuritis.
1. It cannot ever be reversed – nerve (brain) cells do not regenerate/regrow or repair themselves.
2. The nerve cells in your fingers & toes are exactly the same sorts of cells that comprise your brain.
(The ones you grew/created within your first 36 months have to last you forever)
The more you think on that, the worse it gets eh not?
Wow, so much insanity that I honestly don’t know where to start.
Second that, MarkW. My first assumption was that he was deep in his cups.
Peta of Newark May 1, 2018 at 2:53 am
Dude, it’s a JOKE! Perhaps your special diet has created a fatal lethal event that killed off all the humor-sensing neurons in your brain, but the rest of us recognize it as levity …

I do not think that he is smoking banned substances, he is just a certified idiot. So why is he Governor of the Great State of California? Sadly, the logical conclusion would be that he is supported by people who like certified idiots in charge.
or that its the people of californistan that are smoking something 😉
HAR
Remember, under the icing of Hollywood & Silicon Valley and a couple other places, California ia a pretty poor state (1/3rd of all welfare recipients). You promise those guys free stuff and lots of them will vote for you.
Just for the record: moved from CA to FL 5.5 years ago.
I want whatever he’s smoking. Damn ! it must be good.
Hah.. global warming is a big political issue in California. hahahaha. Oh, what a riot. Clearly this whole bit was satirical.. maybe he’s practicing to be a standup comedian after the governorship has run its course.
er.. “not a big political issue in California” that is.
It’s Mental Health Week in California again or maybe Advocacy Day.
He does work himself into quite a lather over climate, as shown by the fact that he loses control over his usually excellent speech. It truly is all about emotion with the climate cuckaloos.
