Environmental Justice ex order
Mary Frances Berry
In 1980, Berry left the Department of Education, returning to Howard University as a professor of history and law, and Carter appointed her to the U.S. Civil Rights Commission.[1] During her tenure on the commission, she became involved in legal battles with President Ronald Reagan. When Reagan attempted to remove her from the board, she successfully went to court to keep her seat.[3] One of her most infamous quotes is from this era: “Civil rights laws were not passed to protect the rights of white men and do not apply to them.”

US Commission on Civil Rights

FEDERAL OFFICIALS TO TESTIFY ON ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES AND PRACTICES BEFORE CIVIL RIGHTS COMMISSION
(Washington, D.C.) — The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights will continue to probe environmental justice issues this Friday, February 8th, after its general monthly meeting. Commissioners will hear testimony from EPA Deputy Administrator Linda Fisher and other agency heads on how the Administration is complying with environmental regulations in accordance with Executive Order 12898. Other topics will include the impact of federal policies on low-income and minority communities and the effectiveness of environmental regulation enforcement in affected communities.
______________________________________________________
Last month, the Commission heard testimony from a range of academics, community advocates and industry experts on the health, housing, land use, economic development, transportation, and civil rights implications of federal environmental policies and practices. Specific concerns of the Commission include disparities in enforcement of environmental codes and regulations, the impact of public health laws, compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and whether existing laws should be revised to incorporate greater awareness of environmental justice perspectives.
___________________________________________________
“Not in My Backyard” finds that the EPA, HUD, DOT and Department of Interior have failed to fully implement Executive Order 12,898, signed in 1994 by President Clinton, mandating that federal agencies incorporate environmental justice into their work and programs. “The leadership at key federal agencies sometimes lacks commitment to ensuring that low-income communities and communities of color are treated fairly during the environmental decision-making process,” noted Mary Frances Berry, Chairperson of the Commission. “As a result, the agencies do not incorporate environmental justice into their core missions and existing programs are not evaluated.”
Following the review of the report, the Commission will conduct a briefing to explore racial disparities in the administration of justice in South Dakota.

It looks like you’re on to something yourself.
Please ping your list. We’re both on to something.

As is often pointed out here and elsewhere, taxing Americans through transportation and heating taxes (think $10 gas and several grand a month for heating) and giving the money to solar scam artists (who run a diesel generator out back) or totalitarian thugs in Africa who will allegedly plant trees, will not have the slightest measurable impact on the climate.

So was tony rezko,
The terrifying part about all of this is the fact that the EPA has the power to enact regualtions that have the weight of laws without CONgress. Not only that, the EPA also has an unlimited budget. Each time CONgress passes another Continuing Resolution, the EPA budget grows since it includes the baseline bump that it got from the Stimulus package.
I’ve emailed the link to this thread to the Daily Caller, the Blaze, and Worldnet Daily. Maybe those folks can dig up more than I did.
Please pass this post on to your friends. I’m not asking you to do so for any gain on my part. You can cut and paste my name out for all I care. I just want the info out and have it discussed.
Hey, whatta ya know ?
Another cowinky-dink! /s
All right folks, I’m off to work.
I’ll be around 10pm EST to answer any posts.

I’ve got to sift through my pages of links and snippets that I have in word. I’m a slob with my computer stuff. :p
I’ll try and get some of it cleaned up and post more later. I’m glad you posted, I had all but forgotten some of this. And some of it I wasn’t aware of.
It is funny how these things seem to be a stepping stone to the next thing— somehow all connected into a grand design.
That is why I found these articles rather fascinating...

This Marx will produce not a manifesto for the middle class. Rather, the new synthesis will fuse economics and environmentalism in a way that fundamentally reorients both disciplines. Marx pioneered political economy; Marx 2.0 will pioneer planetary economy. It’s not just about greening capitalism, as if enough solar cells and Prii will save the world. Our current economic system has reached its planetary limit.
The confusions of our political classification system suggest that we stand at the verge of a new era. The task is not, as The Economist, the Financial Times, Francis Fukuyama, and Newt Gingrich all believe, to save capitalism or the middle class. The stakes are much higher than that. The rising waters will overwhelm Left and Right both. The future might be “storm socialism,” as Christian Parenti argues in TomDispatch, with big government expanding to deal with big weather.

Why Climate Change Will Make You Love Big Government
A Secret History of Free Enterprise and the Government That Made It Possible
By Christian Parenti
*snip*
But don’t expect the present “consensus” to last. Global warming and the freaky, increasingly extreme weather that will accompany it is going to change all that. After all, there is only one institution that actually has the capacity to deal with multibillion-dollar natural disasters on an increasingly routine basis. Private security firms won’t help your flooded or tornado-struck town. Private insurance companies are systematically withdrawing coverage from vulnerable coastal areas. Voluntary community groups, churches, anarchist affinity groups — each may prove helpful in limited ways, but for better or worse, only government has the capital and capacity to deal with the catastrophic implications of climate change.

Storm Socialism
The onset of ever more extreme and repeated weather events is likely to change how we think about the role of the state.
hillary was bill’s connection to Chicago just like michelle was obama’s connection to daley and jarrett. Chicago was obama’s connection to clinton and the rest is history.
If you can find me even one, just one, obama appointee, no matter how high or low, including the doj, judiciary, intel, and the military, who was not a clintonista first, I would be shocked. That includes kagan and sotomeyer.
