… or, as an insane conspiracy theory!
Conspiracy Theory: The Humboldt Regional Climate Action Plan and CEQA GHG Emissions Thresholds are actually part of a secret government project to control the weather and manipulate climate change for their own benefit. By setting strict GHG emissions targets and implementing these regulations, the government is able to not only monitor and control development projects, but also manipulate the environment to suit their own interests. The creation of the Regional Climate Committee (RCC) is actually a cover-up for a group of government officials who have access to advanced technology to manipulate the climate in order to achieve their goals. This project is not about saving the planet, but rather about gaining power and control over the environment and the population. The public hearings and resolutions are just a facade to disguise the true intentions of this covert operation.
