I saw a video a couple of years back that was from a PBS series called 
Eras (which may or may not make it scientific fact AND perceived fact to 
the Left) that asserted that there was a time that the levels of CO2 in 
the air were much higher than they are now due to volcanoes but then the 
levels had gone considerably lower. Given that this was many millions of 
years before anything resembling human life existed, we know this was 
NOT caused by men nor repaired by men.

The only logical deduction to make from this is that the earth harbours 
its own mechanisms to reduce CO2 that don't depend on people to activate 
it. Maybe it's time to research that and figure out what that mechanism 
is. It may well be that the carbon problem will take care of itself 
without expensive human intervention that is simultaneously frustrated 
by natural events that release carbon.

As for Newsom, maybe he can finally allow tax money to be spent on 
thinning the underbrush that apparently makes the wildfires much worse 
that they might otherwise be. Instead of protecting obscure species of 
by protecting their habitats, he could put them in controlled 
environments that would let them flourish a different way.
