Obama to deny disaster funding to Climate change deniers

[Revmitchell]

Apparently if you are caught in a disaster do not expect any help from Obama if your state denies man made climate change.

Excerpted from Inside Climate News: The Federal Emergency Management Agency is making it tougher for governors to deny man-made climate change. Starting next year, the agency will approve disaster preparedness funds only for states whose governors approve hazard mitigation plans that address climate change.

This may put several Republican governors who maintain the earth isn’t warming due to human activities, or prefer to do nothing about it, into a political bind. Their position may block their states’ access to hundreds of millions of dollars in FEMA funds. Over the past five years, the agency has awarded an average $1 billion a year in grants to states and territories for taking steps to mitigate the effects of disasters.

“If a state has a climate denier governor that doesn’t want to accept a plan, that would risk mitigation work not getting done because of politics,” said Becky Hammer, an attorney with the Natural Resources Defense Council’s water program. “The governor would be increasing the risk to citizens in that state” because of his climate beliefs.

But there was no disaster. The hurricane was simply a lie that liberals cooked up to irritate conservatives and the honest deniers. In fact there are never any hurricanes. That is what scientists want you to believe so their bogus research can be funded. So, deniers stop worrying about the bogus wind and phony floods and go out in the sunshine and have a picnic. :tonofbricks:

If it goes to court, it will be found unconstitutional. Obama will lose again.

Exactly. Take your family fishing. And praise God while you're at it. Our battle is won.

Can you claim a disaster was an Act of God?

You want to politicize science and make scientific opinion subservient to your political beliefs. In other words, you want to outlaw anything that you disagree with. Obama is too big for his britches because he is un-American.

That has nothing to do with the OP.

By the way, show me any politician who is running for president who does not have a huge ego and who is not too big for their britches.

It has everything to do with the thread. Democrats want to control speech and in this instance Democrats want to control science a la communism. The fact that Obama is too big for his britches does not relate to his ego but to his insistence upon control of free speech in violation of the Bill of Rights and basic human rights given to man by God. Obama thinks that he is God.

Of course it does. His pat answer when he does not like what one posts is that it is off topic. Apparently he does not understand what is on or what is off topic.
