Three New National Monuments In SoCal

http://www.latimes.com/science/la-me...212-story.html

'Obama creates 3 new national monuments to protect 1.8 million acres of California desert'

"President Obama designated three new national monuments in the California desert Thursday, expanding federal protection to 1.8 million acres of landscapes that have retained their natural beauty despite decades of heavy mining, cattle ranching and off-roading." LA Times

Thank you Mr. President.

Just the latest in a long line of Federal land grabs.

If the area has retained its natural beauty, what's the BFD? That is other than political posturing for posterity's sake. President Obama isn't even a rational Green.

Thank you Mr. President.
I can only surmise that Obama has never been to the area around Barstow.

I don't know about this. Any system needs release valves. Some very-lightly regulated wasteland is a release valve.
