If true, this would be hilariously ironic, since all the Warmists are running around yammering about ‘climate change’ being a national emergency, not protecting the U.S. southern border
Trump may use climate change funds to build his wall
As you may have heard, Trump did not get Mexico to pay for a border wall and declared a state of national emergency. Now he wants to use our tax dollars to build his wall. $3.6 billion is to come out of a military construction account that was supposed to fund a variety of projects, including helping installations (like military bases) deal with rising sea levels.
The military wants to raise naval docks so rising seawater doesn’t damage electrical systems, build sea walls and improve wildfire protection, like the pesky treehuggers they are.
Do I need to point out the irony here? The government claims climate change doesn’t exist while building infrastructure to deal with it.
“Acknowledging climate change as a problem, particularly with infrastructure, is widely accepted,” said John Conger, a former Department of Defense deputy comptroller.
Indeed, the military doesn’t seem to take climate denial seriously.
Of course, what we have here is the notion that the climate has gotten warmer, and that the seas have risen. Not a lot, certainly much less than expected during a Holocene warm period, but, have risen. But, that’s not proof of anthropogenic causation. Just because something is happening doesn’t necessarily explain why it is happening. The most likely explanation is the same one for billions of years: nature. Add some effects like land use and the urban heat island effect into the mix, along with the release of greenhouse gases, plus bad science which manufactures bad data to prop up the Cult of Climastrology, and you have a “crisis”.
Regardless, it is hilarious that they find a way to link ‘climate change’ with building the wall.
