Obama orders government to prepare for impact of global warming
The Washington times ^ | November 1, 2013 | Dave Boyer

President Obama issued an executive order Friday directing a government-wide effort to boost preparation in states and local communities for the impact of global warming.

The action orders federal agencies to work with states to build “resilience” against major storms and other weather extremes. For example, the president’s order directs that infrastructure projects like bridges and flood control take into consideration climate conditions of the future, which might require building structures larger or stronger — and likely at a higher price tag.

Well, the private sector obviously doesn’t know how to build sound structures. Collapsing bridges are a common occurrence, you know.

......Now,..guys/gals!!!!!...........these disgusting little liberal vermin (White House “distract the Media/public team”) are just
following Rule 8 (Alinskys Orders).

To feel better about these “LITERAL” communists that have taken over our
country, I refer you to Google “US Military Coup” 2013”. Read the Hodges article about the 5 generals who met with Obama on Syria and what they allegedly told him. Aw shucks! I’ll just tell you! Allegedly they told Obama something like this “Barack, if you go through with Bombing Syria we are going to arrest you, put you in Leavenworth and hang you”

Now, I am suspect this ever happened as I’m sure most of u will be too. But one General says it DID! In any event, I find it helps sooth my headache that I get when I start reading the commies latest little Rule 8 pursuit, particularly on a gorgeous Sunday
morning I’m trying to enjoy while sitting here listening to the coffee pot tell me the coffee is ready.

This is pure stupidity and ignorance. The IBC 2000 - 2012 among other structural and mechanical codes already covers these acts of nature. The architectural firm I work for has a tornado safe room (12” thick prestressed concrete walls with prestressed concrete double tee roof panels topped with highly reinforced 4” concrete roof) in the works for smack dab in the middle of the New Madrid fault. Seismic forces along with tornadic winds and flying debris are always considered by the structural engineers.

Global warming is a hoax

for 30 years these scientists and the media and government have been telling us there is global warming

so where is the warming? there is none and won't be . The Sun's solar cycle is really small this time(google solar cycle 25). so that means decades of cooling

almost all these scientists are financed by government. this alone proves that government/socialism can never work.

Impeach the communist/socialist tyrant Obama . democrats are the threat . they mean to fully enslave us

Ha, they must really be scared of all the scandals to have to scrape the bottom of the barrel to put GW up for headlines.

The only global warming that is likely to occur under this POS in the WH will be the result of a nuclear holocaust. Maybe that is what he is divulging.

Someone should have issued a warning to make maximum preparations for Obama change.

In a joint statement with the steelworkers' union boss, it was announced that the first task will be to rebuild America's 742,000 bridges approximately 6 feet higher to deal with rising water levels.

The 3 year project should only cost about $987 trillion, and will provide about 90 millions of news jobs, with at least a dozen going to American workers. ?Software firm CGI has been tapped to build the software systems which will handle the design phase of the project.
