Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.), perhaps unsatisfied with the misery of rolling blackouts to which ill-considered climate restrictions have subjected Californians, has ordered that no new gas-powered cars shall be sold in California beginning in the year 2035. What could possibly go wrong?

Newsom tweeted that “Cars shouldn’t give our kids asthma. Make wildfires worse. Melt glaciers. Or raise sea levels.” The governor is correct — cars shouldn’t do this. Luckily, there is no concrete evidence that they are doing so at all!
There is no concrete evidence proving that those nefarious internal combustion engines cause asthma, worsen wildfires, melt glaciers, or raise sea levels, of course. Claims of a climate change “consensus” that “97 percent” of scientists agree human beings are warming the planet through carbon emissions are misleading and overblown. Climate alarmist predictions, which have sought to verify these claims, have proven wrong time and time again for 50 years.
As for the governor’s claim about asthma, Steve Milloy, a former Trump/Pence EPA transition team member and founder of JunkScience.com, insisted that “Nothing that comes out of a tailpipe causes or triggers asthma.” Child asthma is of unknown origin, much more likely triggered by pollen than by carbon dioxide from vehicles.
