First off, if there is consensus
today on man-caused global warming, it's that there is none, and Al Gore
is not only wrong, but insanely so. Not a week goes by without reports
like This or This, or This.
surfacing. Still, since this was political calculus to begin
with, and, as has become the case today, there is no way of
rolling back gains made by leftist engineers of any BIG LIE. In
California, surely the biggest repository of kooks, idiots, and True
Believers extant, dime-store junk science has the citizenry hornswaggled to
the point of out-lawing climate change. But that's not what this is about.
There is a crisis brewing amongst California Air Resources Board
members As a result we get to peek at their world view. Read
the words carefully ( okay, I'll emphasize):

The executive director of the California Air Resources Board resigned
Monday, saying the governor's office had made it impossible for her to
do her job by interfering with the implementation of the state's
landmark global warming law.
"I think they're trying to control it, and they don't have a very
cogent vision for what's needed," said Catherine Witherspoon, who has
managed the agency since 2003.
Witherspoon's resignation comes days after the board's chairman, Robert
Sawyer, a retired University of California, Berkeley engineering
professor, was ousted by the governor.
Witherspoon said she felt some of the governor's
top aides were trying to keep information from him so he would not
endorse more far-reaching action to put the global warming law into
effect. The law, AB32, is the nation's first cap on greenhouse gas emissions and calls for a 25 percent reduction by 2020.
The picture Witherspoon
painted of a governor who was being misled and micromanaged by a staff
that was trying to weaken the global warming law out of fear that it
would harm businesses

These are people with no
understanding of, or appreciation for, a free market economy. Or
"inconvenient truth." If you dressed them in those funny quilted
uniforms, and ear flapped hats the Chinese commies wore in Korea,
there'd be no ideological difference, except that it was considered virtuous to eliminate that earlier version, one way or another.. Now you'd
prolly get a ticket.
