Southern California pounded by wild weather

Julio Navarro plays in the middle of the 4000 block of Wimmer Street where lawns are covered with almost five inches of hail in Baldwin Park, Calif.

LA, one of the most polluting cities in America is now paying for all its years of putting greenhouse gases into the air.

Mind your own business, you'd never be able to survive in Los Angeles! San Bernardino, maybe....but then again, probably not.

...California's proud claim to have kept per-capita energy consumption flat while growing its economy is less impressive than it seems. The state has some of the highest energy prices in the country – nearly twice the national average – largely because of regulations and government mandates to use expensive renewable sources of power. As a result, heavy manufacturing and other energy-intensive industries have been fleeing the Golden State in droves....
And yet, despite a desperate need for more power, opposition to energy projects remains prevalent....

None of this has stopped leaders from setting wildly unrealistic goals for safeguarding the environment, from electric cars to wind-energy production.

The latest goal is to drastically reduce greenhouse-gas emissions.... Even the California Energy Commission hints that the targets might be unreachable. But they'll certainly cost a lot to find out. Analysis from the Electric Power Research Institute pegs the Act's cost to the California economy at anywhere from $100 billion to $511 billion.

Californians may feel good about their environmental consciousness. But someone needs to build power plants and oil refineries to fuel their economy. Someone needs to manufacture the cars they drive, the airplanes they fly, the chemicals and resins and paints and plastics that make their lives comfortable.

NOTHING links this unusual event to AGW except peoples imaginations and willingness to blame anything unusual on AGW.

And they say Bush used fear to pursuade people.

And, by the way, LA is NOT the most polluting city. You need to go recheck your "facts".
