California gov named special adviser to UN climate conference
2017-06-14
[The Hill] California Gov. Jerry Brown (D) on Tuesday was named a special adviser to the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Bonn, Germany, later this year.

The appointment by Fiji Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama came less than two weeks after President Trump announced that the U.S. would withdraw from the 195-nation Paris climate accord.

Dozens of business executives, mayors and governors including Brown have vowed to uphold the country's commitment to the agreement, despite Trump's decision to withdraw.

Brown has become a high-profile advocate for climate action on the world stage in recent weeks. The California governor traveled to China last week where he spoke with President Xi Jinping about climate change and signed bilateral climate deals.

#7  Perhaps while Gov. Brown has P.M. Bainimarama's ear he could get some of Fiji's policing tips for Californian Climate Deniers.
Fiji Police have also been accused of torturing suspects in order to obtain confessions, including by rubbing chillies on to people’s bodies, pouring water in their ears, or dropping large rocks on their backs.

#1  IMO, the reason Left and Islam get along so well - despite appearing to differ on every single issue - is because the psychological personality types involved are so similar.
