You do know it snowed 11" in duluth minnestoa on may 9th????...is crazy mary blaming global warming for causing a cooling effect now???

8" in South Metro Denver on the evening of May 20th...Dang!  There go the lovely pepper plants I put in the garden over the weekend!

Of course the left will blame global warming for this, now that global warming includes cold stuff too.  But in reality, when the evening news looks at 100 year history, this is not unusual at all for this part of the country.  Its just the 25 year olds who think 1 quarter century is all of world history, it's not their fault entirely, that is what our education system intended for them.

Seems the biggest export from California these days is Californians - fleeing high taxes and regulations.  Problem is, they are moving to formerly libertarian places like the inter-mountain west, then forget why they moved.  They pile in then vote for more government and higher taxes!

Three inter-mountain west states have adopted California (CARB) standards for vehicle emissions at some point. Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico. Colorado still has those standards. That state's governor issued an executive order for this in 2018. Arizona and New Mexico repealed the use of CARB standards about 5-6 years ago.

I don't think Californians who moved to those states had much to do with either adopting the CARB standards, or in Arizona's and New Mexico's case, eventually repealing them. Several other states in the Northeast like New York, Massachusetts, and Connecticut also adhere to the California standards currently. As far as I know not too many Californians move to the Northeast.

Anyway, it's not a matter of "more government" in this case. But a choice of two sets of regulations for vehicle emissions. Federal or California (CARB). These two standards actually converged about 10 years ago. But the current administration weakened the federal standards. California (and the states that choose to follow California standards) are moving forward with their original plans. That's what Mary Nichols' comments in the OP article are about.

Your conclusion is a non sequitur and actually disproves your theory as to why people are moving.  The reality is it is expensive in CA and some can't make it. Most of those moving out seem to be those with only a high school education while college educated and more affluent are moving in.

Very interesting info, thanks for sharing this msm859 sir. 

One of my neighbors in Fort Worth moved here from Alameda, California (near Oakland). Not necessarily because of high taxes or regulations in California, but simply because he had relatives in the DFW Metroplex and because he could buy a home for his family at a much lower cost in Fort Worth.
