Federal grifters
with their snouts in the climate change trough |
15 Jan 11 - (Much condensed) - Along with all the other
things in the federal budget wish list for 2011 are millions to be
spent on climate change.
It helps to understand how obscene this is if you pause to consider
(1) there is not one damn thing anyone can do about climate change,
(2) climate change has been researched and studied since the late
1980s, enough to fill an entire wing of the Congressional Library to
hold all the reports, and (3) the only climate change Americans
really need to know about is what the
weather
will be tomorrow.
Let me share just a few of the ways the Obama administration intends
to squander your money ... an alphabet soup of federal agencies that
include the Environmental Protection Agency, NASA, Department of
Energy (DOE), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
National Science Foundation (NSF), Department of the Interior (DOI),
and the Department of Agriculture (DOA).
NOAA intends to devote $437 million for climate research funding, an
increase of $77 million over last year.
Over at the National Science Foundation (NSF), its budget of $7.4
billion (that’s a lot of science!) includes a request for $480
million for Atmospheric and Earth Sciences, $765.5 million for NSF’s
Science, Engineering and Education for Sustainability program and
$19 million for a joint program with DOE “to promote education in
clean energy research. An additional $10 million would fund “Climate
Change Education” in the nation’s schools. It’s not education, it’s
indoctrination.
Read that again:
"It’s not education, it’s indoctrination."
The entire global warming hoax was and is based on “climate modeling”, all of
which consistently found that the Earth was warming at an alarming rate. Except
that the Earth is NOT warming. It has been cooling since 1998. And DOE intends
to waste $627 million on more modeling. It is worth noting that the most
sophisticated models of the National Weather Bureau still cannot predict with
any confidence what the weather—not the climate—will be next week.
The Environmental Protection Agency, gearing up to regulate all utilities that
produce carbon dioxide and all other industries that do the same, has zero
authorization to do so under the Clean Air Act. It is CO2 that is designated by
the warmists as the chief culprit for the global warming that is NOT happening.
Despite this, EPA has requested $169 million “to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions”, with $43.5 million in new funding for “regulatory efforts to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions” through the Clean Air Act. And it wants $22 million
for its Global Change Research Program. It is time to shut down this rogue
agency before it totally destroys the economy.
This is just the tip of the ‘climate change’ rip-off in terms of billions wasted
or soon to be wasted on “research” that can only be deemed an obscene diversion
of taxpayer money that will not benefit a single taxpayer, generate any new jobs
except for those in government agencies, and further bankrupt a bankrupted
nation about to have its credit rating reduced.
Beyond that, if Congress was really intent on cutting back on spending, they
could begin by defunding or shutting down the Environmental Protection Agency,
the Department of Energy, and all the other federal grifters with their snouts
rooting around in the climate change trough.
