How soon they forget
Obama signed
this Executive Order in November of 2013:
Executive Order -- Preparing the United States for the Impacts of Climate Change
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and in order to prepare the Nation for the impacts of climate change by undertaking actions to enhance climate preparedness and resilience, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Policy. The impacts of climate change -- including an increase in prolonged periods of excessively high temperatures, more heavy downpours, an increase in wildfires, more severe droughts, permafrost thawing, ocean acidification, and sea-level rise -- are already affecting communities, natural resources, ecosystems, economies, and public health across the Nation.
Emphases mine.
Ummmmm... That would be a big
NO!. Any extreme weather event can be matched by one from our history. High temps, rain, lack of rain, storms, etc... We have a long record of these events throughout the world going back several hundred years.
There is nothing new and to base a multi-trillion grab of our tax dollars on such shoddy science is reprehensible.
