New California Law to Address Climate Change Might Be Its Creepiest Yet

A new bill just signed into law by California's Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom will give residents of the Golden State a new option when their days on earth are over that is apparently better for the planet, if you're the kind of person who wants to fight climate change in death as much as you may have in life.

The bill was put forward by Democrat Assemblymember Cristina Garcia, and the text of the legislation describing the practice is as strange as what the law will allow beginning in 2027:

This bill, commencing January 1, 2027, would require the bureau to license and regulate reduction facilities, as defined, and would enact requirements applicable to reduction facilities substantially similar to those applicable to crematoria and hydrolysis facilities and would enact provisions relating to the disposition of reduced human remains by integration into the soil.

That is, compost. You can compost your loved ones in a "reduction chamber" soon in California. According to Assemblymember Garcia's office, composting humans "involves placing bodies in individual vessels and fostering gentle transformation into a nutrient-dense soil that can then be returned to families or donated to conservation land." So, your loved one dies, you compost them, and then you get what's left of them back as fertilizer to use in your garden? Or shipped off to fertilize someone else's land? Heavens.
