What a lazy teacher. His source cited here only goes until 2017. Currently, Republicans control both the Senate (28 of 50 members) and the Assembly (69 of 120 members). I guess Jesus intended there to be pig farms with minimal pollution control.

Perhaps they should call in San Francisco's 311 Agency. It would make a nice break from cleaning up human feces, urine, blood and vomit from the streets of one of the dirtiest cities in the country.

From the man who has never found fault with emissions from burning fossil fuels, only from efforts to regulate those emissions.

Seldom in doubt, rarely correct. Can’t even count to five on this thread.

Mac,

If you learn how to scroll right (move the bar at the bottom - probably easy for a third grader), you just might find that the listing that I posted runs through 2021. Plus, my quoted stats included years through 2021.

Techno--if you were honest, you'd admit that the North Carolina legislature which refuses to do anything significant about pig shit, is Republican and has been so for years. Instead you try to blame it on a Democratic governor. Are you that ignorant of how the legislature works, or that dishonest?

I think your issue with our pig shit is over the top given the myriad of problems that Calif. is facing (fire, water, power, etc.) Hurricanes can and do create issues with pig farms, and the smell is really bad for those that live in close proximity, but people do have choices as to where they live. I read that Calif. imports (from other states) more pork than any other state in the US. Supply and demand - free enterprise can create a stink at times. However----

Nutty Calif. may have to go without fresh pork due to Proposition 12 that goes into effect in 2022.

Quote:
“When you look at California, they consume about 15% of the pork protein that we produce domestically. And that’s going to be a real issue, because people in California love pork. Based on the regulation, there will be very little pork that will be able to be sold In California from across the United States, and so it’s a big issue,”

The usual paid flacks will deny any link to global warming. But the big question is, did any pig shit lagoons fail?

Two people have been confirmed dead in western North Carolina, local authorities said, after the remnants of Tropical Storm Fred doused the area with heavy rains that led to severe flooding.

Twenty people were still unaccounted for Thursday morning, Haywood County Emergency Services spokesperson Allison Richmond said, down from Wednesday’s count of 35. An emergency shelter at a local high school housed 11 people Thursday.

Richmond said the medical examiner is working to identify the deceased.

North Carolina Department of Public Safety officials said Haywood County appears to have been hit the hardest and is seeing “historic” flooding along the Pigeon River. More than 98 people have already been rescued from flooding in the state’s western counties, the department said in a news release.

Nearly 45 tornado warnings were issues in western North Carolina on Tuesday, North Carolina’s Weather Authority reported. Rockslides closed roads, one college’s hallways flooded and floodwaters swept away vehicles.

Climate scientists have linked our warming atmosphere to more frequent and more severe storms, a trend which the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change found is likely to continue. As storms strengthen, winds can grow more punishing and rainfall rates often swell, causing more extreme flooding.

About 50,000 customers were left without power late Tuesday, the department said, and there were at least 11,600 remaining outages Wednesday. Water boiling advisories are in effect in Canton and Clyde counties, where the storm affected water systems.

Judges strike down North Carolina voter ID law, finding the law “was motivated at least in part by an unconstitutional intent to target African Ameican voters.”

Meet the new south, same as the old south.

How many times have we seen this movie before?

The North Carolina Supreme Court ruled Friday that political district maps drawn by Republican lawmakers are unconstitutional and must be redrawn, a significant victory for Democrats in a state almost evenly divided politically.

In a 4-3 decision divided by party lines, the state’s highest court found that Republican lawmakers drew maps that deprived voters of their “substantially equal voting power on the basis of partisan affiliation,” according to the 40-page order. The ruling is the latest in consequential redistricting wins for Democrats that could determine whether they hold on to their razor-thin majority in the House — amid all-out war in courtrooms over partisan gerrymandering and voting rights.

The Republican-drawn maps created last year would have given the party control of as many as 11 of the state’s 14 House seats ahead of what is expected to be a strong Republican election cycle. Voting rights groups argued in court that the maps eliminated competitive districts and were overall skewed for political gain. Democrats accused the other side of rigging elections as well as disadvantaging Black voters. In the map drawn by Republicans, Rep. G.K. Butterfield’s district replaced Black voters with rural White voters. Butterfield (D), who is Black, decided not to run for reelection, saying the plan was “racially gerrymandered.”


The court’s Democratic majority wrote that the GOP plans violated the state constitution’s free elections clause, the equal protection clause, the free speech clause and the freedom of assembly clause.

With North Carolina’s primaries scheduled for May 17, the court ruled the legislature must redraw the map by Feb. 18 and submit it to a panel of three trial judges with an explanation of what data they relied on and methods they used to determine that their districting plan is constitutional. The panel last month ruled in favor of the GOP-controlled legislature, saying that while the map was drawn pro-Republican, it did not violate the state constitution.

On Friday, Gov. Roy Cooper (D), who does not have the right to veto the congressional maps, praised the court’s decision.

“A healthy democracy requires free elections and the NC Supreme Court is right to order a redraw of unconstitutionally gerrymandered districts,” he tweeted.
