The State Department will spend almost $400,000 of tax payer dollars on a climate change competition to be held in Morocco. The competition is part of the Department's aggressive fight against climate change.

“Morocco and the U.S. share a strong commitment to combating climate change which they are tackling aggressively at the international, national, and local levels,” according to a grant announcement. “The U.S. Department of State Bureau of Energy Resources (ENR) seeks to highlight this shared commitment by driving policy and commercial innovation through a Green Growth Climate Challenge.”

The State Dept.'s is looking for nonprofits, universities and organizations to hold a competition that will garner ideas how to “mitigate the impacts of climate change through the use of clean energy and energy efficient technology.”

"The energy industry is undergoing rapid transformation, offering countries the opportunity to accelerate clean energy deployment, from solar and wind to energy efficiency, through innovative policies and business models,” the State Department said. “Local innovation is a critical component in the fight against climate change, fueling creative approaches to climate change mitigation and resiliency.”

The State Department assures the public the competition will be "inclusive."

“The proposed challenge should aim to promote inclusive approaches that improve local governance and business practices, while also expanding economic opportunities for youth and women,” the State Department said.

The DNC and Clinton’s own the US patents on climate
change (hoax), and the lawyers is the wife of an NBC
operative.

This is nothing more than stealing of US taxpayer money,
blessed by Crooked Comey and the hated, complicit GOP.

Don't you think that if these raving lunatics were correct about man's influence on climate change we would be getting congratulations from them for all the efforts already taken. But no, they keep telling it is getting worse, therefore the obvious conclusion is that man cannot influence it. After all the earth has been in a warming trend ever since the central US was covered with glaciers before man arrival on the scene.

But again maybe this is a safer activity for them than negotiating deals with countries like Iran.

I believe if they invested that money in SPACE X or VIRGIN GALACTIC, they could better serve themselves to just ..... leave.
