I'm surprised the CBS interviewer didn't get on his knees and service the governor-it was embarrassing . Get a room.

I'm sure if you raise taxes AGAIN you'll be able to stop it from happening.

He belongs on the street corner with an end of the world sign, yelling at people like the crazy person he is.

I am a "self -proclaimed" hippie and former CA lover and now live outside the state; I am not thinking Jerry Brown is a scientist or even a weather climate expert in any way; I think that Jerry Brown needs to get out of politics, he is like the four term governor of California; he is a life -long politician and does not seem to help the budget of CA, which is in trouble and still is the largest of all the 50 states but still the state is nearly in the poorhouse? We do need to take care of the planet; but I fear Russia, or China (who kills or indirectly lets more pollution happen than is ever put out by the US media for some reason). Our mother is not the earth; our God is the living God in heaven and is not concerned about our role as tree hugging, dirt-worshipping fools but that we care for our planet, but also feed our familys and protect innocent children and others.

Well quit talking thats alot of carbon coming out

[johnsweda]

It's not just carbon dioxide is the problem but methane! is the big problem 23% greater than carbon dioxide on the environment? We need to limit how the production of cows especially are produced? They need to be limited drastically in their numbers around the world. The reason cows are such a popular food Staple for business… is the amount you get out of an animal paired to a sheep or pig or donkey even a horse.
