Nothing like being lectured by a guy who took a private fossil fueled flight across the country, who can’t even get his choo choo train running

Newsom talks climate with world leaders in New York, accuses Trump of abdicating that responsibility

Saying President Donald Trump has abdicated his responsibilities on climate change, California Gov. Gavin Newsom met with world and business leaders Wednesday to advance climate action and clean energy on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly.

State and local governments are leading, he said, as “Trump is trying to recreate the 19th century” by reopening coal plants, announcing new plans for oil drilling including off California, and centering his energy policy on fossil fuels that cause climate change.

“He’s doubling down on stupid, and he’s putting the American economy at risk,” Newsom said in an interview. He called Trump the most destructive environmental president in American history and “an invasive species.”

White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers used Trump’s derogatory nickname for the governor, “Newscum,” in responding to the comments. She said his “doubling down on Biden’s unpopular, unreliable and costly Green New Scam is stupid.”

“No one is surprised to see him whining about the climate change hoax at another conference instead of fixing the problems plaguing his state: out-of-control crime, the highest homeless population in the United States, and wildfire victims still waiting on state permits to rebuild their homes and businesses,” Taylor wrote in an email.

So, basically Gavin is hobnobbing with foreign leaders, yammering about globull boiling and TDS.

Newsom is scheduled to speak at the United Nations on Wednesday. While in New York, he signed a new agreement with Spain’s prime minister to strengthen collaboration on clean energy and climate issues and announced progress to link carbon markets with Washington state.

Um, why is he speaking? He’s a governor. He really shouldn’t even be invited into the UN building.
