In 1977, Governor Brown warned that California was facing an unprecedented drought, blamed at the time on global cooling
This year, Governor Brown warned that California faces an unprecedented drought caused by global warming
Trenberth says that 2014 freak lightning and fires in California are caused by global warming
“On the West Coast,” Trenberth said, “you don’t have the complex vertical structure and wind shear typically associated with lightning storms.”
But a changing climate may alter those weather patterns, making such“freak” occurrences more common. California’s historic drought, for example, has the potential to set up conditions for extreme weather. “With the drought, the contrast between the ocean and land is much greater than it otherwise would be,” said Trenberth. “It’s those contrasts that can help set up circulation and make the weather a little bit more vigorous than it otherwise would be.

In 1977, experts said that freak lightning storms and fires in California were caused by global cooling.
This year, Jet Stream dips are blamed on global warming. They make Alaska warm, California dry and Florida cold

It is amazing how left wing politicians can recycle the same garbage from one generation to the next, by simply switching one word cooling => warming.
The one constant in the equation is the stupidity of the California voter.
If only stupidity were always painful.
Though the laughingstock-in-chief is experiencing some ego pain from his massive ignorance.

Brown is a moron and the people who vote for him are Gruber stupid.
On a separate note… In California we’ve been paying big water bills and big taxes for DECADES… yet the State hasn’t done shit to increase or improve the infrastructure…
Only now are they talking about desalinization plants… Paid for by bonds of course… Meanwhile water prices continue to go up… And the courts ruled a non native species fish gets water out of the Owens Valley… But people don’t…
Total garbage, irresponsibility by Government… Sabatoge by environmentalists… Yet we pay for all this with high taxes and high water bills…
There… Rant over for now..
So. Cold causes freak lightning. And warm causes freak lightning. Maybe the lightning isn’t so freak after all. I can recall the occasional lightning storm when I live in Southern California. Not common, but not unheard of.
But then again, Jerry Brown was a good friend of Kool-aid King Rev. Jim Jones – so why should any of this be a surprise to anyone?

“…Mr Jones has called the allegations against him “outrageous lies”. The sect’s temple in San Francisco frequently drew as many as 5,000 worshippers on Sundays, and Mr Jones was seen in public with such political figures as the Governor of California, Mr Brown, and the Mayor of San Francisco, Mr Moscone…”

Steven… How about some facts and analysis about this Climate Change agreement with China??
Seems like one sided garbage that we don’t need in the first place…mad you point out… Increased CO2 barely affects temperature… Almost immeasurable as one of the dozens if not hundreds of factors affecting Temperature and Climate..
The Chinese hatched this 50 year plan way back in 1986. It was set up to suck up all US industries and run a trade surplus with the US and then bang! Push the US into permanent depression.
Obama has successfully helped them significantly but GOP Presidents worked tirelessly for the Chinese, too. They are ALL ‘Manchurian candidates’.
Implicit in the CAGW faith is complete amnesia of all previous dogma as the weather changes….
