Do californians like Jerry Brown (Oakland, Nice: theatre, schools, restaurants)

There is a good reason for term limits. If you don't like it you will have to find a way to amend the CA Constitution.

Governor of California

It's always sad when our favorite politician has hit their term limits but I fully believe in term limits...otherwise you run the risk of dictatorships.

Because his religion is so called global warming.

Except for the global warming comment I agree.

Have a nice day.

Go Jerry!

Are you threatening that little red triangle at the top right?

JER-RY! JER-RY! JER-RY!

Could not agree with you more!

Really, all you anti-Brown folks, I would like to hear YOUR (constructive) suggestions!

Like the Prop 30 supposed temporary tax?

It’s unclear whether Brown, who is termed out in 2018, will get involved this time. He said repeatedly that his 2012 tax measure was temporary and should remain so.

Lets's see if this remains case.

Because Jerry Brown keeps carrying on as if HUMANS are causing the planet to warm and "the debate is over" and "the science is settled". Actually the consensus among the world's scientists is NO opinion. The media and politicians keep reinforcing the false notion that "the debate is over" and "the science is settled". Debunking Global Warming Hysteria

"Scientific consensus that human activity is very likely causing most of the current global warming"
100% - 11,944 abstracts reviewed
66.4% - 7,930 were EXCLUDED for expressing no opinion!!!
32.6% - 3,896 marked as agreeing we cause some warming, but how much is "some"??? Miniscule amounts?
0.5% - 64 marked as endorsing consensus as defined
0.3% - 41 actually endorsed consensus as defined.

Except for the global warming comment I agree.

So you're with the 0.3% who think that humans are causing the planet to warm significantly.

It's curious that no one mentioned that he also was the Mayor of Oakland for 8 years.
That couldn't have been a cakewalk !


Reference:
In 1998, Brown ran for mayor of Oakland against 11 other candidates and won in the primary with 59% of the vote. Before taking office, he successfully passed a voter initiative, changing the ceremonial office of mayor to that of a "Strong Mayor" form of city government. Brown was reelected in 2002 with 64% of the vote.
As Mayor, Brown spearheaded the revitalization of a downtown that had been dormant for decades. He helped create new housing units for more than 10,000 people, re-opened the beautiful Fox Theatre (which had been shuttered for 30 years), and attracted many new restaurants, businesses and art galleries to the city. Brown also personally founded the renowned Oakland School for the Arts (housed in the Fox Theatre) and the Oakland Military Institute. Both schools serve students from the 6th grade through the 12th and are among the best performing schools in Oakland. During his 8 years as Mayor, the number of serious crimes was reduced by over 30% compared to the previous 8 year period.

And a lot better than his predecessor did in his 50s.

And he's also a lot more honest. We can probably count on him not do anything sneaky during his last day in office.

Like I said, really glad you posted your updated information correcting the world science community consensus. And now you've added this great link to an investment sales site specializing in marketing to uneducated conspiracy-theorist believers. I'm sold!

Statements like this from NASA really had me bamboozled!

Multiple studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals1 show that 97 percent or more of actively publishing climate scientists agree: Climate-warming trends over the past century are extremely likely due to human activities. In addition, most of the leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued public statements endorsing this position. The following is a partial list of these organizations, along with links to their published statements and a selection of related resources.

Jerry can take a hike next election cycle!
