California Gov. Jerry Brown (D) this week is ripping President Trump over the White House’s environment policies, particularly the decision to roll back regulations on the release of methane gasses.

“When Trump says, in effect, ‘We like more methane going into the air,’ that is highly destructive, very highly destructive,” Brown said Thursday at the Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco.

“So I think he’ll be remembered on the past he is now, I don’t know, liar, criminal, fool, pick your choice,” he added.

Brown slammed Trump’s rollbacks of environmental protections as a “major assault on the well-being of the people of California and America and the world. It borders on not only insanity but criminality.”

1. I am going to miss Governor moon beam.

He’s one of the best things to happen to my state of CA

5. I am too!

Loved him back when he was Governor before too! I wish he wasn't term limited, I'd vote for him again in a heartbeat!

7. Introduced me to two great books

Over the years I heard Governor Brown talk about two of the greatest books I've read.

The Great Transformation by Karl Polanyi and Small Is Beautiful by E.F. Schumacher. How we got here and how we can get out.

He has a great vision for society.

2. Harsh words that need to be said, because they are the truth.

Truth to power.

3. NC and SC can "thank" their Repug politicians for stopping science based

actions to avert climate change and its impacts, esp. super hurricanes.

4. Trump already has his tweet storm loaded and ready. Fire in 3 - 2 - 1 ...

There is no way IQ45 -- a man-child who goes crazy at every slight, real or imagined -- is going to let pass being called a liar, criminal and fool. Good for Gov. Brown!

Trump is really going to be pissed when he learns California will have its own Space Force up and running before his. Brown just announced that California is going to launch the first of several rockets with payloads designed to provide environmental science.

Nyah-nyah! Donnie Two Scoops can suck it.

10. Should read "So I think he'll be remembered on the PATH he is now,"

The Hill made a typo.

11. Methane IS a huge problem.

It is right up there with CO2 and a lot of it is a result of meat in eating countries diets. The food the animals eat, the waste they produce, etc. Also perma frost is melting now and that releases more methane, making more melt, and on and on. Brown signed the 100% renewable energy be 2045, SB100, last week and Hawaii already did. He is a good governor and will be missed.

12. JERRY is the MAN

I have voted for this man twice in two different centuries. Each time he was elected he has been so good for California...When he ran for president the "idiots" missed not supporting him. He has taken California out of a depression and debt and now we have billions for a rainy day and was are blessed. If California was a country it would be the 7th best economy in the world. Every time we have had republican run the state the state gets screwed with a big debt. The USA still does not know this problem with republicans or RE-THUGS......

13. Jerry Brown is running for President.
