Climate Change Superstition Still Rules California
When climate dogma drives policy, refineries close and gas prices soar.

At the end of May, the California Air Resources Board extended the “Cap-and-Invest” program through 2045, with changes that allegedly provide a “long-term signal for the market.” [some emphasis, links added]
CARB maintains the path toward the state’s 2030 and 2045 “climate targets,” while supporting “affordability for Californians by managing costs and maintaining a clear long-term signal for clean energy investment in the state.”
If that leaves people confused, they might start with the climate targets.
The “California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006” fought “anthropogenic climate change” that had “led to higher overall worldwide temperatures, reduced snowpack in the higher elevations, greater fluctuations of temperature and precipitation, global sea level rise and more frequent and severe extreme weather events,” and so on.
The Act gave no sense that these issues were a matter of debate.
In Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn’t, and Why It Matters, Steve Koonin shows that the catastrophic prophecies of “global warming” have gone unfulfilled.
