It used to be easy to divert federal funds (your tax money) to pay off Obama’s green supporters just by using the magic words “global warming”. But even Barack Obama doesn’t have the guts to blow a billion dollars on a ‘warming’ trend after some of the weather America has felt this winter. Instead, the new buzz word is ‘climate change’ and Obama wants to create a ‘resilience fund’ amounting to $1B in the 2015 budget to control the weather.
If Obama’s crazy weather control fund is as poorly planned and as expensive as his health care boondoggle, that billion dollars will become a tiny fraction of a massive expenditure without real benefit to the country.
On Friday Obama pitched the ‘climate change resilience fund’ to ‘help communities deal with negative weather caused by climate change’. The fund would theoretically require congressional approval, unless the President decides to wield his pen and his phone in another unilateral move.
During a call with reporters on Thursday evening, the assistant to the president on science and technology, John Holdren, said, without any doubt, the severe drought plaguing California and a number of other states across the country is tied to climate change. “Weather practically everywhere is being caused by climate change,” Holdren said. The administration’s fund would invest in research to gather data on the impacts of climate change, help communities prepare for them and support innovative technologies and infrastructure to ready the country “in the face of a changing climate.”Obama is touting the fund during a trip to California, which has been devastated by a drought that is threatening the Central Valley’s agriculture production and has led Gov. Jerry Brown (D) to call on Californians to conserve water.

govt can’t seem to do anything well….except waste money
What a moron
another chance to steal more of our money
let his green cronies get their own or get out whichever they want to do but do not give them anything from the tax dollars.
They will say whatever they can to get what they want
ummmm ….. just stop messing with the weather and turn H.A.A.R.P. off ….. ty … the environment
This is bull$#%&!@*. Another billion dollars down the $#%&!@*ter. How about using it to get some water for California instead of wasting it on something we can do nothing about?
We’ve had several climate changes at our house just today! Temp. Went from 35 to 52, wind went from dead calm to 25 Mph gusts and now it is 51 dead calm and foggy. The use of climate change to give away the publics money to your political supporters would be funny but, it will eventually lead to the destruction of our country!
Boy not a smidgen of corruption in this administration. Not a whit. 🙁
