Editor,
Barbara and I, along with our One World One Ocean Campaign, encourage our wonderful city council to sign onto the Climate Mayors network and adopt the Paris Climate Change Agreement. We would be the lead city in Orange County, joining 292 other U.S. cities including Santa Barbara, Malibu, and Napa Valley. As our city leaders have already voted to comply with the four conservation programs, joining comes at no cost to us—we would, however, be showing leadership to the world.
Laguna Beach stands to lose dramatically in too many ways should climate warming and sea level rise continue unabated. For example, surf spots like Brooks Street Third Reef and Thalia Street Reef will change for the worse, becoming good only at low tide, and Main Beach will flood more often, causing us to probably lose 20% more of our beach sand area by 2100.
We should join the Climate Mayors network and think about our future.
Yours in a healthy ocean,
Greg and Barbara MacGillivray, Laguna Beach
More fear spread without actual substantiated proof. This is how our city seems to work anymore. “THE SKY IS FALLING…THE SKY IS FALLING. “Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but not their own facts”. Are we going to use our tax dollars to help other countries behave, which is doubtful? Whatever President Trump does, it’s viewed in the media as the devil himself. Obstructionism is not of any service to our country. President Trump never said we are not going to continue to do our part as a country, he just said we are not paying for all the other countries…Good! Time we stop bankrolling other countries while our own infrastructure is falling apart.
By the way, I love this little bit of history…now that is an executive order I can live with.

Take the Environmental Sharia Cabal to the woodshed, WJR. They beat their chests and feign intellectualism and morality, while displaying utmost hypocrisy.
