White House: Climate funding is ‘a waste of your money’

BY DEVIN HENRY – 03/16/17 03:58 PM EDT

The White House on Thursday defended a proposal to slash federal funding for climate change programs, calling it “a waste of your money.”

“I think the president was fairly straightforward on that: We’re not spending money on that anymore,” Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney said at a White House briefing on Thursday.

“We consider that to be a waste of your money to go out and do that. We consider that a basic tie to his campaign.” …

For me, that statement was the high point of the last 18 months. He knows man made climate change is a scam.

Of course. Why would anyone spend hard earned taxpayer dollars on settled science?

He is right. Funding climate change PROGRAMS is a waste, because no amount of money can keep the climate from changing. No person has the power to stop it. The climate is, has been, and always will be changing.

Trump is not denying climate science one way or the other.

He's simply creating an opportunity for private citizens on their own -- lefties, globalists, and private corporations -- to pay for cleaning up as much of the environment as they see fit.

Knock yourself out, guys. But sorry, taxpayers are no longer going to pick up the tab.

Al Gore, the inventor of the Internet and also the smartest guy in the world on Global Warming told us that the Earth was supposed to fry already because nothing was done.

Well, what happened, Al? Everybody's still here. And our winters are getting colder.

I read your "Inconvenient Truth", that science book of yours that includes not a single reference to any external document whatsoever.

Al, this was all supposed to be "settled science". That's what you told us.

Well, apparently it's not, so go ahead and continue what you were doing with private money, not the public's money. We wish you all the best. And thank you for continuing the good mission with your own money.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

Since funding climate change efforts is basically funding the communist/marxist/socialist left (by employing their acolytes for huge salaries), and requires all the same changes to our way of life that the far left wanted anyway - I am THRILLED by the new approach! I don't want our tax dollars funding our political opponents ...
