Oh, the Founding Fathers and their little parchment hobby! How quaint. Sure, they gave us “freedom,” “federalism,” and that fussy “separation of powers,” but have they ever installed a single offshore wind turbine? Exactly. This week, while the Trump administration is off somewhere polishing oil rigs and revoking California’s emissions authority (how dare he), the real adults in the room — California’s climate crusaders — are flying to Brazil to save the world. Literally. Forget D.C. The Golden State is now the Global State.

“The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it. Power is what all messiahs really seek: not the chance to serve.” – H. L. Mencken
The actual adults in the room are providing cheap energy to the masses so that the people can thrive, not flying off to Brazil at taxpayers expense to find new ways to control and restrict the masses!
I can honestly say California is not well liked by the rest of the states. Always grandstanding with a holier than thou attitude does not go well. The gall of thinking it can represent the USA at an international function is a prime example. On the other hand ….. couldn’t ask for a better spokesman for the climate skeptics.
Being a resident of the state, I can honestly say California is not well liked by a large percentage of the residents of the state, but unfortunately not a majority of the voters.
On reason that is quite evident is its current governor, fondly referred to a Gov. Gruesome. His most recent claim to fame: overturning a citizen-legislature agreed-upon law for fair census-based voter districting (previously-passed Proposition 20) in order to be the “sheriff in town” to rein in the State of Texas for its own recent redistricting . . . obviously under the meme that “two political wrongs” do indeed make a “political right”.
Cost of the special election held earlier this month for the sole purpose of voting to pass California’s “Proposition 50” to overturn the existing law: some $282 million. Ref: https://www.abc10.com/article/news/politics/price-tag-for-californias-special-election-redistricting-282-million/103-42c27dbd-0e4b-41f5-a539-f1c881eaaaad
Note that the call for this election was made solely by Gruesome, not the citizens, not the California legislature. Just image how that over-a-quarter-billion-$ might have been better used to address homelessness, improve police and firefighters, improve hospitals and health care, and to add teachers in K-12 schools. However, many in the state believe it to be taxpayer money well-spent to launch the well-manicured governor into his 2028 presidential run . . . go figure!
Another main reason for some California residents (mainly those with an IQ above room temperature) to dislike Gov. Gruesome is his continuing, unwavering support for the California High Speed Rail (HSR) project, aka the Schwarzeneggar-Brown-Newsom boondoggle, that began in 2008 with voter passage of Proposition 1A. The initial projected cost for the HSR system from Los Angeles to San Francisco, a run of about 380 miles, was estimated at $33 billion and it was to be operational by 2020. Currently, the projected cost for just the 171 miles connecting the towns of Merced and Bakersfield (that is “nearing completion” as the first segment of the HSR project) is $37 billion and amounts to the outrageous cost of $216 million per mile of train track . . . and that’s for some of the cheapest land along the planned LA to SF route. And the fact that HSR project managers no longer provide an estimate for when the LA to SF run will be operational speaks volumes about what lies ahead!

I haven’t found the full delegation, but did find …
California’s delegation includes the Governor, California Natural Resources Agency Secretary Wade Crowfoot, California Department of Food and Agriculture Secretary Karen Ross, California Public Utilities Commission President Alice Reynolds, California Air Resources Board Chair Lauren Sanchez, and Tribal Affairs Secretary Christina Snider-Ashtari.
Tribal Affairs Secretary Christina Snider-Ashtari . . . hmmmm . . . Navajo, Apache, Sioux, Sumerian, Assyrian, Babylonian, or Wicca?
It’s important to know which god is being represented at the conference.
John H,
Re that list of COP attendees. Again we see women stepping into the roles played for centuries by hunter-gatherer men while women specialised in childcare. We have seen a progressive increase in costly, poor decisions when typically female heartstring soft emotion replaces hard decision making, a trend growing since about year 2000. A vivid example is female magistrates and judges giving bail free sentences or light to violent offenders more often than male counterparts.
I love women, vive la difference, cherche la femme and all that, but please stick to your knitting in future. Your brains are not wired so well to handle cold hard unemotional logical decision making. Many men are not so good either, especially the girly ones who seek special treatment in the false belief that their defects are superior assets.

Okay, ask California if they will play fair on water takings from the Colorado River in that multistate, one-sided formula.
