If they really cared they could certainly find the money somehow, right? A new tax or fee?
Tucson to dissolve climate panel; post-Project Blue rules take shape
Anyone remember climate change?
See, it was (and remains) that civilization-defining threat that everyone said they wanted to do something about. Let me rephrase: Everyone wanted to do something about it, unless they were inconvenienced in any way. (snip)
Even the activists decided to switch gears and focus only on a genocide in Gaza. Climate change will bring about probably a dozen more genocides or mass famines but hey, “the climate” was so 2015.
The cultists have had a tough time trying to beat the drum for both at the same time, as well as the inability to link the two.
Bad news first: The Tucson City Council will vote Tuesday to terminate a funding agreement with the University of Arizona, Pima Community College and Pima County dedicated to a partnership to help deal with climate resiliency and adaptation.
In December 2001 (I assume they meant 2021), the coalition was awarded a $500,000 Build Back Better grant to start a planning process to establish projects and programs for implementation paid for with a subsequent Phase II grant.
Well, Donald Trump got elected and there’s no federal grant money now for a Joe Biden climate program.
The local climate coalition has no money, therefore there’s no need for a coalition to work on climate resiliency. The funny thing (or not so funny) is that the grant was actually focused on programs to deal with resiliency and adaptation.
Let them spend their own money if they care so much.
But there’s is some news of local action on the climate front. Pima County Supervisor Jennifer Allen is asking that a data center zoning ordinance be drafted for consideration.
Allen wants to add more regulations on data centers.
Her action comes after the Board of Supervisors approved a rezoning for “Project Blue,” which was turned out to be an ill-fated attempt to build multiple data centers in Pima County and in the city.
And then the data centers will go elsewhere, taking their jobs and money with them. Good job!
Will hurricane Erin not really count as a hurricane like Sandy because it is not going to make a landfall?
I was surprised that it went from cat 1 to cat 5 so quickly.
Only hurricane Milton (2024) which was 4th strongest Atlantic hurricane ever exploded from cat 1 to 5 quicker
So now we have 2 of these hurricane bombs in 2 years. Meterologists term this phenonoma “explosive intensification” hence hurricane bomb.
