What’s the big deal? Well…..
(CNS News) The Natural Resources Conservation Service, a part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, operates 9,516 vehicles even though it only has 11,605 employees. That works out to one vehicle for every 1.2 employees.
The service promotes itself, in part, as a component of the federal government’s effort to deal with climate change.
“Our goal is not just a sustainable, nutritious, abundant food supply, but also thriving ecosystems that support a diversity of life,” the conservation service says on its website. “In the next century, NRCS will not only continue to tackle familiar challenges like ensuring clean water and healthy soil, but will also rise to meet new issues, such as clean air, clean energy, climate change, and new technology.”
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) describes the mission of the NRCS as ensuring “private lands are conserved, restored, and more resilient to environmental challenges, like climate change,” and the NRCS argues on its website that human activity is producing greenhouse gases (GHG) that lead to climate change and that farmers can help solve the problem by reducing emissions.
Of those 9,516 vehicles, the vast majority are some type of truck or van, which we can all assume run on fossil fuels. But, remember, fighting climate change is something to other people/groups should be forced to do.
climate change should be fought with the best tools available, sometimes that includes burning fossil fuels. This organization has had a name change under Clinton, it used to be called the Soil Conservation Service and works primarily to help farmers conserve the soil on their crop lands
john.. you just blurb whatever comes out of your toxic-air-hole, don’t you? You haven’t the foggiest clue even what you are writing, do you? I bet you are just using a word finding program to just pull words out of your electronic hat.
You have just now, NOW, shown that in addition to being an inept genetic mutation that doesn’t have a semi-logical thought of his own, you aren’t even adherent to your own ramblings! You are now irrelevant.
It would be one thing if you showed consistency, … … but then what am I saying. No whiny liberal has ever been consistent in the way they live their lives and in what they spew.
But, at least for me, dear sad john, I give up on answering you.
Teach, here is just a glaring example of how the Feds prop up the auto industry. You can’t afford a new car or truck? Doesn’t matter. You’ve already bought 9,000 of them for someone else.
Warmists are amazing, aren’t they GB? From now on, us realists should use that same line, that we’re using fossil fuels and coal to fight hotcoldwetdry.
Hey, just like that one Mayor, I’m using my Air Conditioning in an experiment to see if I can cool the local global warming. I’m burning my gasoline in my fossil fueled car to make sure I leave room on the GREEN diesel-fueled mass transit for someone that believes in that sort of thing.
Ahahahah, this is awesome. Caught once again with doing as they do and not as they say!!!
Up on Long Island’s South Fork there is a lame chapter of the “Nature Conservancy” an AGW supporter and hypocritical group that exists on Shelter Island. They drive around all over in these great big SUVs, and the only thing they conserve that I’m aware of, is the land that they own and have built a mansion on. They let people wander about on about one third of the estate, but the rest is used by the head of this chapter. You can read about it in Green Hell. I love this earth. I just can’t abide by liars and cheats.
