California signs deal with China to combat climate change

Did everyone forget this too???

California Gov. Jerry Brown (D) signed an agreement to work with China to lower greenhouse gas emissions Tuesday, just days after President Trump pulled the United States out of an international climate change agreement.

The agreement, though nonbinding, aims to expand cooperation between China and California on renewable energy, zero-emission vehicles and low-carbon urban development, Brown’s office said. It will establish a joint working group of Chinese and Californian officials to come up with ways to work together, and to invest in programs that would cut carbon emissions.

Brown signed the pact with Wan Gang, China’s minister of science and technology, before meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

“California is the leading economic state in America and we are also the pioneering state on clean technology, cap and trade, electric vehicles and batteries, but we can’t do it alone,” Brown said Tuesday. “We need a very close partnership with China, with your businesses, with your provinces, with your universities.”
Brown is in the middle of a weeklong trip to China, where he has signed similar agreements with leaders from Sichuan and Jiangsu provinces. Brown will headline the Under2 Clean Energy Forum on Wednesday in Beijing, a gathering of 170 cities, states and nations working to keep the global average temperature increase under two degrees Celsius.

Energy Secretary Rick Perry, the former Texas governor, is also attending the meeting in Beijing. Perry said Tuesday the Trump administration will pursue an “all of the above” energy strategy, according to the Associated Press.

Brown was sharply critical of Trump’s decision to pull the U.S. out of the Paris climate accord, reached last year by all but two other nations. Brown, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) and Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D) established the U.S. Climate Alliance to push states to adhere to the goals of the Paris agreement, even after Trump’s decision.

“The president has already said climate change is a hoax, which is the exact opposite of virtually all scientific and worldwide opinion,” Brown said. “I don’t believe fighting reality is a good strategy.”

On Monday, the three Democrats said nine other states and Puerto Rico had joined their pledge to uphold the accord. Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Virginia all agreed to reduce carbon emissions to between 26 percent and 28 percent below 2005 levels, while meeting targets of the Clean Power Plan, an Obama-era rule the Trump administration has revoked.

Seven of the nine states are led by Democratic governors. Vermont and Massachusetts are led by Republicans.

“Our administration looks forward to continued, bipartisan collaboration with other states to protect the environment, grow the economy and deliver a brighter future to the next generation,” Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker (R) said in a statement.

“Growing our economy and protecting our environment by supporting clearer anymore affordable energy and transportation choices can go together,” Vermont Gov. Phil Scott (R) said. “If our national government isn’t willing to lead in this area, the states are prepared to step up and lead.”

I wonder if Jello Biafra still sings California Uber Alles?

Great, now Californias economy and their dam can break down at the same time.

...

hold the fuck up
are you telling me. yo. are you sayin.
The worst state in the US for green house gas emissions… is signing an agreement with the worst COUNTRY for help with green house gas emissions?

...

It's literally illegal for states to make separate deals with foreign countries without going through the federal government.

>No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.No State shall, without the Consent of the Congress, lay any Imposts or Duties on Imports or Exports, except what may be absolutely necessary for executing its inspection Laws: and the net Produce of all Duties and Imposts, laid by any State on Imports or Exports, shall be for the Use of the Treasury of the United States; and all such Laws shall be subject to the Revision and Controul of the Congress.No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.

This is definitely violating the constitution.

Sounds like a good way to cut Federal funding to Cali. It's illegal under the Constitution for a State to negotiate with a foreign country.

With the fate of the world at stake, you would think they would do more than a pinky swear like a tax on goods from Beijing until their pollution gets less ridiculous or prohibiting anything from Beijing. But no. The end of all life on earth isn't so serious it has to interfere with Walmart's and Amazon's profits.

you're silly. the US no longer enforces laws at the governmental level….. that's just for the plebs.

So now can Texas sign some kinda deal with russia to cleanse the streets off faggots and other degenerates.I mean teams of chechen castration experts can be invited for some roubles.

When was the last time states made gold and silver coins?

What's sad is California is too far gone to even vote for a Republican anymore

From what I understand, they basically don't even have actual elections anymore. They just have democrat primaries

...

...

Shut down your power plants goy, trust us. :^)

Shit like this really makes me wish Calexit would happen. It'd give conservative white america a lock on the electoral map and allow us to buy more time to get our shit together. Meanwhile, the niggers and spics in Cali will tear themselves apart and turn it into north mexico. After we've unfucked ourselves, we could then go back in and declare Mexican-American War 2.0 on them, remove taco, remove curry, and remove eggroll and return California to the white paradise it was in the early/mid 20th century

Start it maybe, but most certainly not allow it to actually happen. Not one inch of American clay can be given up.

This is unconstitutional.

...

We need to kill off the third world in order to preserve the planet for our children, it's the only way.

DO SOMETHING YOU FRAILE FUCK

I agree. I didn't mean permanently give up California. I meant let it go temporarily with the desire to reconquer it after we've used the electoral/demographic shift to unfuck ourselves and install RWDS

this is what Pennsylvania used to look like in the 1940's.

Not a burger, not up to me. You're free to act though, suing the state of California would be a start.

I really like this idea, this is exactly what Trump should do (or at least float on Twitter).

Kek please memeteor my state.

I can't believe the number of dipshits I hear bitching about Donald Trump getting us out of an obvious scam. Even Joe Rogan on his last show was pupupu muh environs.
How do these idiots respond when you bring up the ridiculous cost US would have had to pay for Paris accord and not China?

They don't care and never will because they fell for the "don't breed goy" meme.

Yeah, shit used to be bad here, but you know what? We learned from our mistakes. China, India, etc don't need to re-invent the wheel to know it rolls. They know what they are doing, but give zero fucks. If you want a greener world, drop nukes on the industrialized third world.

Rogan is such a fucking snake. I was listening to his interview with (((Brett Weinstein))) (the evergreen college guy) and that kike was shitting out bluepills on global warming because Trump just left the Paris Agreement. And Rogan was there right along with him on the soapbox talking about how awful it was that we left.

And then the next day he'll have someone else on and he'll shit all over the idea of global warming and the paris agreement. He's a total two-faced chameleon.

Hell, it'd be break if we just used the US navy to completely embargo and blockade the entirety of Africa and other 3rd world shitholes. Imagine the globalist butthurt from both the (((NGOs))) and the multinational corporations who want to get rich quick using our tax dollars to sell subsidized bullshit to niggers and other mudpeople while also importing them to our countries by the million

The founders had such cool ideas, this country must've felt good to live in before the kikes ruined it.

The meme about Commiefornia spliting off from the US and becoming the world's cumdumpster is one step closer to manifesting itself.

It really was. It really fucking was. People laugh and roll their eyes at the "muh constitution" boomer cuckservatives, but it's honestly true. Our constitution - as it was ORIGINALLY DESIGNED - was fucking great. No niggers or women voting. No equal protection bullshit. No federal reserve or fiat currency or income tax. It's just that arguing this point nowadays is completely irrelevant because things have just changed too much. The constitution was designed for a white america. Not muddied-up shitskinville.

My biggest critique of the constitution is that it gives the judicial branch too much power. It doesn't do anything at all to stop judicial activism. The laws are written there clear as day, but judges can just fucking ignore the words and make up their own interpretation. And there's absolutely no check on this. You just have to kick it up to a higher court and hope the higher court "gets it right". And if SCOTUS is full of a bunch of talmudic kikes who do whatever they want, what can you do? Nothing.

All I gleaned from that was the judiciary branch is the islam of US government.

Except that there was no mechanism under which to prevent it from becoming ignored or corrupted. Therefore there was no other logical outcome possible other than the outcome we have… therefore resetting law back to its founding would do nothing but cause the cycle to repeat.

All men are not created equally.
Voting, even among land owning men, is a bullshit democracy.
Not having strict laws against miscagenation and the admittance of jews into your country.

I could go on and on… keeo that lolberg shit outta here faggot.

Socialism is for cucks

nevermind it just fucking happened

worry about the Jews

How is legitimate criticism, and pointing out OBVIOUSLY pure lolberg arguments… larping?

The founding fathers weren't even lolbergs. People forget that the whole point of the limitations set in the constitution are mainly against the FEDERAL gov't. A lot of it has to do with what the federal government can/cannot do. The point being not that the constitution was outlying some ancapistan lolberg bullshit, but that all those laws were still supposed to exist, JUST BY THE STATES INSTEAD.


They call it the jewdiciary for a reason


Did you even read my post? That's the exact problem I said I had with the constitution, in that it does nothing to stop overreach and judicial activism.
That's not even in the constitution you retard.

I agree, we should have socialist police states, obviously Sweden or Britain aren't cucked at all. Honestly every form of government has failed in the face of zionism including the third reich. At least us Americans still have some civil fucking liberty left, at least I don't have to worry about getting locked up for speaking my mind, at least I can purchase a firearm.

...

Is this what you believe National Socialism boild down to?

...

It always get me when people claim the US is destroying the earth. We spent hundreds of billions in the 80s to present day picking up Superfund sites & making industry clean. Shut down all new nuclear energy sites to calm fears of a meltdown. Then in the 90s we made our cars so clean the 00 models barely contributed any pollution to the air. If a company dumps any fucking chemicals they might as well go out of business. Now everyone is all upset over some climate accord that basically let china and india still pollute the shit out of the planet & dump industrial waste into the ocean as long as they reduced their greenhouse gas emissions to 90s levels. Paris is horse shit not because of greenhouse gas emissions but it lacks any language regarding REAL pollution.

It's hard to tell because Germany was at war at the time and restricted many liberties at that time (along with every other country, including the US). Point being is that there is nothing wrong with the constitution, socialist states are just as easily kiked.

Fair enough.

He was the biggest larper of them all. Pure cringe and probably a fed as well.

CALIFORNIA IS ABOUT TO HAVE IT'S SHIT PUSHED IN THEIR REPRESENTATIVES ARE BASICALLY SAYING WE DON'T HAVE TO FOLLOW THE RULES OF THE CONSTITUTION BECAUSE REASONS AND FEELINGS SAD FUNNY BUT SAD THE POLITICAL PROSTITUTES ARE GOING TO BE LINED UP ON TRUMPS SOLAR POWERED WALL AND SHOT

Oh come the fuck on. GLR a good man and the sort of man that is in short supply now. If you actually knew anything about Rockwell, you'd know that he HAD to use the imagery for "shock value" because otherwise he wouldn't get any publicity whatsoever. It's no different than how we use memes of nazi pepes and kikes in gas chambers. Shock humor works.

Stop being a PRcuck. GLR would've been leader of the Holla Forumsacks if he were around today. Both a good thinker and a grade A shitposter IRL

Kill yourself PRfag.

Yup just like when he used to have Rhonda Rousey on his show a stop short of licking her man-clit on air. And then as soon as she lost he talked shit on her every chance he could.

It rubbed me the wrong way and I can't help but discard his opinions after that.

If you listen to George you'll see why people here love the guy.

Atleast theyre admitting its not science anymore

He also insults his own friend for not having the same opinion.

The way I see it, Rogan doesn't have any opinions beyond retarded meme diets and DUDE WEED LMAO. I'll still listen to his stuff when there's someone interesting on (peterson, water filter merchant, scientology lady, etc) but I only listen for the guest, not for rogan. Whenever rogan opens his mouth, he actively lowers the quality of discourse. He's best when he just shuts up and keeps the guest talking. But as a person himself, he is a slippery weasel with no ideology who will say whatever will make him be agreeable to his guest.

Admittedly the biggest polluters should have top priority of reduction efforts. too bad this is all probably just virtue signaling and non-solutions

Of course it is. It's all they can do as they tax everybody to death to feel smug and import shitskins.
