It’s rather shocking. One would think all these deep pocketed Cult of Climastrology members and groups and companies would step up to the plate and offer their own money
Trump’s Cuts In Climate-Change Research Spark a Global Scramble For Funds
… (stuff on Obama giving lots of U.S. taxpayer money for Hotcoldwetdry stuff)
After the 2016 Presidential election, the Trump Administration and the Republican-controlled Congress reduced U.S. support for climate-change-related research, causing the Centre’s program and similar initiatives around the world to scramble for funding. A U.S.A.I.D. official told me that American funding for the Centre’s project will end in 2019, instead of in 2020, because of a change in “the Administration’s foreign-policy and national-security priorities.â€
Under Obama, the United States was the world’s largest donor to the Green Climate Fund—a global reserve fund created to, among other things, help developing countries invest in renewable and low-emission technologies. Obama pledged three billion dollars, a third of which was contributed before he left office. Trump, who has dismissed climate change as a hoax spread by China, has pledged no money to the fund. Earlier this week, the fund’s director resigned, and some began to question its viability after no new projects were approved at its most recent board meeting.
So the money from the U.S. government, forcibly taken from the taxpayers to be used for projects based on a scam, and on projects which have zero relation to the U.S., has been significantly cut? Bummer! This kind of thing continues for a few more paragraphs, with Obama pledging money and Trump saying “No”, till we see
“We are already severely strained financially in our governments, so, once we lose funding and support, it makes it difficult for us to move forward,†Diana Ruiz, who runs trainings for the Centre, told me. “All of our assets, our livelihoods, and everything, is at risk, so it puts us at a disadvantage.â€
Well, why aren’t all these private entities stepping up? Why are the Warmists not giving their money for the research? It’s almost like they can’t survive without government money.
Atlantic hurricane season began on June 1st, and researchers fear a repeat of last summer: extreme storms with little planning on how to mitigate their impact. “It’s a source of frustration for a lot of people,†a former U.S.A.I.D. adviser told me. “The money flows into the countries for a disaster, and, as soon as the disaster’s over, it will completely disappear with no prep work for the next one.â€
This has zero to do with ‘climate change’. Tropical systems have been happening longer than mankind has been around. Perhaps we should take all that Hotcoldwetdry money and use it for relief and planning. And, think how much we’ve pissed away that could have gone into upgrading infrastructure in places like Puerto Rico (of course, Dems would have pissed that away, too).
