One of the side effects of having a petulant person in the White House<\/a> is that anytime someone contradicts the wishes of the White House there is retribution of some sort. This has now extended to the matter of Climate Change.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, The Weather Channel<\/a> posted an article entitled, “FEMA Won’t Help States That Don’t Plan For Climate Change.” Thank about that for a moment. The federal government should be willing to help all states in case of emergency. Climate Change is not settled science, and no natural catastrophe has ever been linked to climate<\/a> change. In fact, as climate change believers howl about increased damage from hurricanes, the amount of hurricanes since 2005 have gone down significantly. Also, the true numbers (rightwinggranny.com<\/a>) show that the earth has not warmed for more than a decade.<\/p>\n

The article at The Weather Channel reports:<\/p>\n

States publish reports every five years or so detailing their vulnerability to natural disasters<\/a>, such as floods, storms and wildfires, and how they plan to protect themselves and recover after them. Such plans are needed in order to qualify for a share of nearly $1 billion in Hazard Mitigation Assistance grants<\/a> provided every year by the Federal Emergency Management Agency<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But those plans rarely consider climate change impacts in detail \u2014 an omission that could see states become ineligible for the grants after new guidelines take effect early next year. Under FEMA\u2019s updated guidelines, published last week<\/a>, state disaster plans will only be approved if they adequately describe how the likelihood and intensity of natural hazards<\/a> could be affected by growing levels of greenhouse gas pollution.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe risk assessment<\/a> must provide a summary of the probability of future hazard events,\u201d the new guidelines state. \u201cProbability must include considerations of changing future conditions, including the effects of long-term changes in weather patterns<\/a> and climate.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is more of the government attempting to control the debate. Why does the government support global warming? If the earth is warming at a catastrophic rate, the government will have to take action (thus gaining more control over its citizens). It is interesting that study grants are more like to be given to groups that support global warming than groups that do not.<\/p>\n

If you can tell me where to line up for my AGW money I\u2019d really appreciate cause I could use a few extra bucks right now.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Well you could try applying for a grant from The Rockefeller Brothers Fund:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n 1Sky.org ($2,100,000)<\/strong>
\n 350.org ($875,000)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Total RBF grants to Mckibben = $3,175,000<\/strong><\/p>\n

Al Gore<\/a>\u2019s \u2013 Alliance for Climate Protection<\/a> = $250,000<\/strong>
\n David Suzuki Foundation = $185,000<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n Center for Climate Strategies = $5,171,600<\/strong>
\n The Union of Concerned Scientists = $75,000<\/strong>
\n Media Matters for America = $375,000<\/strong>
\n Environmental Defense Fund = $550,000<\/strong>
\n Natural Resources Defense Council<\/a> = $1,660,000<\/strong>
\n National Wildlife Federation = $1,025,000<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sceptic \u2018think tanks’;<\/strong>
\n The Heartland Institute<\/strong>
\n The Cato Institute<\/strong>
\n The Global Warming Policy Foundation<\/a> (GWPF)<\/strong>
\n Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow<\/a> (CFACT)<\/strong><\/p>\n

= $0.00<\/strong><\/p>\n

That pretty much tells the story.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
