Ahnold.  Srsly, Du-uude.  You’re from The Future, right?  Then you know in 100 years we’ll all be driving flyin’ cars—or ox teams.  Depending on which way the political winds blow, right?  Cahleefohrneeiah does not need this crappola.

Schwarzenegger said he is creating a panel of 23 California leaders [at $150K/year, no doubt] to recommend specific actions to prevent the destruction of infrastructure and deal with a depleted snowpack, the spread of disease, intense wildfires and other calamities that would result within the century from climate change.

The creation of the panel is a top recommendation of the so-called California Climate Adaptation Strategy report released Wednesday. The report anticipates that average temperatures will rise by as much as 5 degrees Fahrenheit by 2050 and 9 degrees by 2100. Also, sea level is anticipated to rise by as much as 18 inches by 2050 and more than 4 1/2 feet by 2100.

Included in those areas are broad recommendations to:

-- Strengthen threatened communities so they will be less vulnerable to climate change. [women and poor illegals hit hardest]

-- Improve development planning and ensure food is grown closer to populations that consume it. [take over private lands for comuuuuu-nity gardens] [which will devolve into weed-laden empty lots within a year.  see: Open Space Parks]

-- Restrict development in areas vulnerable to climate change impacts. [take high-priced lands off tax rolls.  give to well-connected developers]

-- Aggressively push water conservation. [Learning to Dry Farm Your Back Yard for Fun & Profit Survival]

-- Enhance the state’s response to invasive species that target agriculture.  [too late—Ahnold and the Illegals are here; house by house, job by job...]

-- Improve forest management. [ya mean we can finally remove all the dead-fall, widow-makers and fuel brush around houses?  No?  ...thought not.]

-- Consider higher water levels in transportation planning (San Francisco International Airport is a location expected to be underwater as sea level rises).
[WTH ya talking about?!?  I thought we were all supposta quit flying anyway?  Let it go—make a clothes washing dock out of it.]

“The 800-pound gorilla is land-use and making changes at the local level,” said Tony Brunello, deputy secretary for climate change and energy at the California Natural Resources Agency

What’d I tell ya?

It’s not too early to start drinking heavily, is it?  Naah—in fact, I think it’s a little late…

Here.  More.
pass the ice, willya?

1. We’re well and truly doomed.  Not from any sort of climate, but from the infernal meddling of these yo-yos [yo-yi?].  Don’t they read the news - don’t they see “Climategate” and how it’s knocked the stuffing out of the whole environmental platform (maybe pillow is a better image).

   Meanwhile, over at PJTV, they reported on this little helpful bill:

   Livable Communities Act of 2009

   Purposes:

   “(3) to encourage regional planning for livable communities and the adoption of sustainable development techniques, including transit-oriented development;”

   We’re all gonna live in “livable communities” where we won’t need no stinkin’ cars to get to work - we’ll just ride the buses.

   “(5) to provide affordable, energy-efficient, and location-efficient housing choices for people of all ages, incomes, races, and ethnicities, and to make the combined costs of housing and transportation more affordable to families;”

   Location- and egergy-efficient means we’ll all gonna live in “big-city liveable communities”.  None of this inefficient rural stuff.  And to make the housing “affordable”, they’ll all be the same, or even better, 200-story highrises.

   There’s more. Here’s the PJTV link:
