Gov. Newsom’s Latest Appointment – Another Climate Hustle Association
Pretty much everything we use in modern society needs to be upended, overhauled, and restricted, according to Gov. Newsom and climate change hustlers
By Katy Grimes, May 9, 2025 11:57 am
We are told Friday that California Governor Gavin Newsom and Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers have been appointed co-chairs of the U.S. Climate Alliance.
Joining this brain trust are New York Governor and outgoing Alliance co-chair Kathy Hochul, Delaware Governor Matt Meyer, and Washington Governor Bob Ferguson. “They will serve on the Alliance’s executive committee charged with overseeing the strategic direction of the coalition.”
Issuing his first scintillating statement, Gov. Newsom explains that “Americans want cleaner air and water, lower costs, and healthier communities — and that’s exactly what Alliance governors are delivering.”
Oh, so now the governor of a bankrupt blue state is “delivering” cleaner air and water, lower costs, and healthier communities?
No. No he is not.
This is the real crux:
“As the federal government retreats from the climate fight, states are charging ahead. We were built to lead in moments like this, and as co-chair of this coalition, I look forward to partnering with my fellow governors to keep America on track.”
As the Trump administration cuts federal funding to Newsom and other blue state governors’ climate grift, they are fighting back. #Resist.
Every bit as vapid as Governor Newsom, Alliance co-chair Wisconsin Governor Evers does not disappoint: “Every day the Alliance’s states and territories are showing that we don’t have to choose between protecting our air, water, and communities and growing our economy — we can, and will, do both.”
Blah, blah, this means nothing, blah, blah.
Who exactly is having to choose between protecting air, water, communities and growing our economy?
As the Globe commented in October, “Once his role as Joe Biden’s surrogate presidential candidate was shattered as Democrats replaced him with Kamala Harris, how could Newsom remain present in order to facilitate a run for President in 4 years?”
We addressed Gov. Newsom’s plan to decrease the state’s gas supply in special session legislation, creating more shortages, and more expensive gas for Californians. USC Professor Michael Mische warns that California gas prices could escalate 75% to $8.43 per gallon in 2026 due to the pending shutdowns of two major in-state refineries.
Thank Gavin Newsom for that.
Keep in mind that California’s cap and trade shakedown program expires in 2030, and Newsom wants to extend it.
As we said, with few alternatives left in his political career, “Gavin Newsom is working to become the next Al Gore – the name and face of the worldwide climate change grift.”
Gov. Newsom claims that the state’s highest-in-the-nation gas taxes and prices are not what led to dramatically spiking gas/oil prices but because of price gouging by the oil industry. In May, Newsom even signed a gas price gouging law into place.
The California Energy Commission disagreed with the governor at the time, showing that gas price spikes occurred in the last few years because of refineries temporally going out of commission because not enough oil was getting to them.
And, In March, the Globe reported on a study by USC Professor Mische which found that the factors contributing to California’s high gasoline prices over 50-years are self-imposed by state officials and politicians. It turns out that California is its own worst enemy.
California Governor Gavin Newsom, who pretends he isn’t running for President, refuses to seriously address what ails his state, instead focusing on shady, unaccountable, immeasurable issues like climate change.
Every climate change bill passed by Newsom and the Legislature is to “Achieve net zero GHG emissions” in the state, and to Newsom and his acolytes, that means outlawing oil and gas. So pretty much everything we use in modern society needs to be upended, overhauled, and restricted, according to Gov. Newsom and the burgeoning industry of climate change hustlers.
The higher the stakes – including attacking the oil and gas industry – the more notoriety Gavin Newsom receives. The harm to the people, businesses and industries of the state is inconsequential as long as Newsom gets press.
This latest climate appointment joins Gavin Newsom’s other recent appointment in March as co-chair of America Is All In – an expansive coalition of state, local, tribal, private sector, and non-profit leaders supporting climate efforts at the subnational level.
Wow. Sounds really practical and useful. “Governor Gavin Newsom today announced he is joining America Is All In as its newest Co-Chair. In each of the 50 states in the U.S. and across sectors, the coalition of state and local leaders aims to cut emissions in half by 2030 and reach net zero emissions by 2050, while building resilience in the face of increasing climate impacts.”
Now Newsom has a title to go along with his climate change passions:
In his first action since being named Co-Chair of the climate coalition “America Is All In,” Governor Gavin Newsom “announced a groundbreaking state effort to cut methane pollution with the help of innovative satellite technology,” a press release from Newsom says.
As the Globe predicted, Newsom is trying to shove Al Gore out as Big Chief Climate Change in order to save his what’s left of his declining political career.
As for Newsom’s latest appointment to the Climate Alliance, it “comes as the Alliance concludes its weeklong semiannual spring meeting in Washington, D.C., which brought together top officials from the coalition’s states and territories to share solutions and chart a path forward for collective state-led action.”
How exciting.
“The convening also featured a series of engagements and dialogues with federal policymakers and partner organizations on a range of topics, including clean energy deployment, grid modernization, energy affordability, and clean transportation.”
If you want to get something done, be sure to schedule “engagements” and “dialogues.”
These people don’t do anything other than “resist” President Trump. As proof, the Alliance was launched on June 1, 2017 by the governors of Washington, New York, and California “to help fill the void left by President Trump’s initial decision to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Agreement.”
The Alliance has grown to a whopping 24 governors. They claim their Impact is:
- Air Pollution
Reductions - Emissions
Reductions - Climate
Resilience - Clean Energy
Jobs - Economic
Growth - Energy
Savings - Zero-Carbon
Electricity
Under the Alliance’s “See Our Latest Actions,” is nothing but press releases reiterating what they claim to be working on… like this one: Alliance Governors Vow to Continue Climate Fight in State of the State, Inaugural Addresses – “We Are Truly Masters of Our Own Destiny.”
And they include headlines they like:
How US states are leading the climate fight – despite Trump’s rollbacks
How the US Climate Alliance is responding to Trump’s second term
So, what it is that the Alliance members actually do? “The Alliance Secretariat regularly convenes Working Groups to deepen member collaboration, share lessons and best practices, and provide services and tools to help members advance high-impact action across our 10 policy priorities.”
They also do “Capacity Building,” “Partnerships,” “Federal Engagement,” and… “Historic federal resources from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) are turbocharging state-led climate action and enabling Alliance members to tackle pollution, lower costs, and create good-paying jobs.”
This is rent seeking – “an economic concept that occurs when an entity seeks to gain wealth without making any contribution to the benefit of society,” Investopedia says.
The U.S. Climate Alliance doesn’t produce anything, and is accountable to no one. They admit as much.
“Alliance members are working to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement through four key commitments:
- Reducing Emissions
- Accelerating Action
- Centering Equity
- Tracking Progress
This should be the perfect new job for Gavin Newsom.

Spot on about the requisite title. “Former Guber” would trigger listeners hoping to forget.
For democrats, titles serve as place holders for lazy journalists, to inflate egos which have long since replaced spines before listing obligatory myths, accusatory projections and recanting previous lies.
It turns out that California’s DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS are its own worst enemy….
There, that looks more accurate….
(They named it “dominion” for a reason….)
Green is the new Red.

@Curious History,
This is a very good report on the relationship between environmentalism and communism.
“Issuing his first scintillating statement, Gov. Newsom explains that ‘Americans want cleaner air and water, lower costs, and healthier communities — and that’s exactly what Alliance governors are delivering.'”
If Gov. Failure Newscum is so concerned about clean air, why is he pushing for more marijuana use and toxic second hand marijuana smoke going into everyone’s air? Any why hasn’t Gov. Failure Newscum done anything about the raw sewage being dumped into Santa Monica Bay by Los Angeles?
Gov. Failure Newscum never stops lying. He’s the worst governor we have ever had.
“We were built to lead in moments like this.” Similar (very) to a USMC recruitment ad, currently on the radio.
Literally EVERYTHING our Worst Governor Ever, Gavin Newsom, does and participates in is phony B.S. that is not only worthless but destructive. So this is right in character, isn’t it.
At least he is a CONSISTENT empty suit.
Commie Grifters of a feather flock together.
I could find a better “brain trust” on the short bus.
The economy here is so “great” that Noisome had to use film from Ukraine in his economic propaganda.
Ucchh. Can’t the clan of Getty just move?
Katy Grimes is right that the U.S. Climate Alliance is just another Democrat grifting scheme that produces nothing of value while being funded by taxpayers. The Alliance received billions of taxpayer dollars in grants during the Biden regime’s reign of terror. Under Biden’s Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG) program, the Alliance received approximately $2.6 billion in the second phase of the program. Additionally, the Alliance has received funding from the Solar for All competition, amounting to approximately $2.9 billion.
Thankfully EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin have sought to claw back $20 billion in climate funding that was previously allocated to support clean energy and transportation projects in disadvantaged communities.
Gov. Hair-gel Hitler” Newsom and the rest of the criminal Democrat mafia thugs involved in this scheme are experts at stealing from taxpayers.
I was once informed that when attempting to rule out causes of certain nonemergency, maladaptive behavioral presentations (of a particular bay area population) then always try to subtly broach the recreational or therapeutic ingestion of psychodelic substances. Be patient, don’t press the issue, just follow up with an environmental topic. That just a suggestion often yields exactly what you need to know about some democrats, from there.
CA LEADING IN FAILURE…again…still. Democrats are a diseased infestation! https://www.appeal-democrat.com/news/california-leads-us-in-farm-failures/article_354b66dc-50bf-47e1-b7b0-abb3735d5457.html
We need to just end the Global Boiling Hoax once and for all. My dad was involved in this research. He did multiple expeditions from the 1960s through early 2000s as a Geology Professor. IPCC conferences and all that.
Let me illustrate the partisan nature of this. At one of these conferences there was a US Presidential election. There was something like 1000 people there. 998 of them were cheering for the Democrat candidate. There is an intense peer pressure to conform to that narrative. It was my dad’s “expert” opinion that they were ginning the evidence to generate funding for the University. It is not so much that there is a cabal in backroom saying something like “we are gonna cook the books peeps…we can trick these fools into giving us MONEY”. It’s more like the less dystopian studies get thrown into the wastebasket and the most dramatic claims go to the top of the stack. MSM then takes this and embellishes it even more. Magazines with the Earth on Fire and then the Internet of course. Now it has evolved into a weapon of Larry Fink at Blackrock for him to play favorites with. This is just a vague useless goal of which is designed to never be solved…a weapon to tax and control. If you give them an inch they will take your arm. It was pathetic watching even the GOP capitulate on this issue and we have a very RINOish CA GOP although I keep voting for them as damage control. Speaking for myself I see how the conversation comes up with regards to managed retreat from the Ocean. I actually DO agree with the managed retreat but is has NOTHING to do with rising sea levels and more to do with the never ending process of erosion. If they sea does not even rise one inch it does not matter…the Ocean will keep doing what it is gonna do. Gavin has done such damage to this state and I could not stand the guy even when he first showed up on the scene. Vapid is the best world to describe him and it is a Debby Downer watching so many fall for the guy that looks good and “sounds nice”.
HW culture needs to end and I am kinda of glad that industry is collapsing. Maybe we can replace it with making more rockets or something..anything. Get the studios outta here, it’s life cycle is over.
Governor Newsom has appointed former State Senator Nancy Skinner to be a member of the California Energy Commission. She authored SBX1-2 in 2023 to have this very committee be provided data from oil refineries and to fine them if they went over price caps. We already have one oil refinery closing and a possible second.
The confirmation hearing is this Wednesday May 14 at 1:30 pm in the Senate Rules Committee, 1021 O Street Sacramento Room 2200. Last Senate Rules Committee hearing I went to, the public was given two minutes to support or oppose nominees.
You mean THE Nancy “E.T.” Skinner???
Ugh, Nancy Skinner, the prune faced Marxist from Berkeley who has been in Democrat politics her entire working career. She’d starve if taxpayers weren’t supporting her?
I believe Newsom’s environmental influence on California can be compared to that of Oppenheimer, in regard to the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Cleaner air and water?
Um, a huge portion of so cal burned down, releasing how many year of toxic crap? and then more burned toxic crap ran off into the sea after the short rainy season in CA.
How do people believe a word this fool and his party say?
Few politicians have
contorted the definition of ‘criminal culpability’ more than Skinner.
“Center Equity”….which is code for “make everyone poorer”. Well, they are certainly accomplishing that goal.
