BloggeRhythms

Several items today, all from Fox News on-line, illustrate clearly how farces like climate change are used as political tools, despite their having no real validity.
 
On Friday, visiting drought-stricken California the incumbent said a so-called “climate resilience fund” will be included in his proposed fiscal 2015 budget. He says the $1 billion, taxpayer-funded program is to help communities across the country prepare for the effects of climate change.
 
He also said, “his administration will work with technology innovators and “launch new challenges” under its Climate Data Initiative.
 
On the other hand, two Republican challengers to incumbent California Gov. Jerry Brown say that the state's government failed to properly prepare for what they call a foreseeable drought crisis. 
 
The drought emergency Brown declared last month has added to the pressure on the Democratic governor to address longstanding problems with the state's water storage and delivery systems
 
Democrats and environmentalists have often resisted building reservoirs and expanding the state's storage capacity, instead favoring water conservation.
 
So, here we have another billion dollars of taxpayer's money going to be wasted again on issues that either don’t really exist. Such as “climate change” which hasn’t occurred for the past seventeen years and to bail out a California governor who cow-towed to constituents and never fixed an obvious problem that could have been solved years ago by simply digging a reservoir. 
 
And once again, Charles Krauthammer, summed up the situation quite nicely.
 
Explaining this year’s weather events, such as the drought in California and the major snowfall on the East Coast, he said, “That's not climate change. It's called winter and it happens every year.”
 
He continued, “It's happened every year for a long time and to me it's just plain cynicism to seize upon any event and then to use it as an example of a theory which is not a way to prove it and this billion dollars, this attenuation fund it is going to be exactly like the money that was spent on green energy. The White House’s theory behind climate change will instead be used as a “slush fund for crony capitalism” to favor specific individuals and companies.”
 
Now, while Mr. Krauthammer made his point clearly, succinctly and accurately, as usual, I mention this subject very frequently myself. And the reason I do isn’t just to point out the fraud in the subject of climate change. I keep banging away at the issue because some of the money being continually stolen by politicians comes out of my pocket too.
 
That’s it for today folks.
 
Adios
