The Obama administration published a small library's worth of climate change documents on Friday, outlining 38 federal agencies' vulnerabilities to global warming and how they will address them -- as well as a separate and even larger set of new government-wide plans to cut down on greenhouse gas emissions and achieve new targets for sustainability.
In many cases, the vulnerabilities revealed are stark. The Department of Agriculture, for instance, sees "the potential for up to 100 percent increase in the number of acres burned annually by 2050" by wildfires, according to its new adaptation report. The agency notes that fire suppression expenditures have already grown from 13 percent of the Forest Service's budget in 1991 to 40 percent of it today, and says the service's other operations are imperiled by the continual demand to throw more resources at fires.

They should be worried about an AMP attack or nuclear attack. Idiots. We need a good government house cleaning.
EMP darn it!
Especially if the AMPs go to 11!
You totally asked for this, LOL
We need to shut down at least half of all Federal Agencies and Departments.
The fed agencies are riddled with parasites that need to be flushed down the toilet
It is frustrating that we have liberals running our government, for now anyway. And they spend so much time worrying about global warming, and thus less time being concerned with other threats, such as ISIS and the national debt and the economy.
I know we can walk and chew gum at the same time, to paraphrase liberals who tell us that we can address global warming and these other threats. I had someone tell me that recently. But it seems to me, that there are only 24 hours in a day, only 40 hours in a work week. And to the extent that our federal officials spend time on global warming, they are indeed spending less time dealing with other threats.
More disturbing is “38 federal agencies”!
More tax dollars being wasted and/or stolen.

Yes, it is. Unfortunately, no election can remove the careerist Left from executive agencies.
Coldest Halloween in memory in Chicago today. Kids will have to wear winter coats under their costumes tonight. Global warming is testament to liberal insanity
What a collection of scary Halloween stories. It’s a good thing that they are all fairy tales.
Wait, ooh, ooh let me guess, they are buying, sub machine guns, handguns, all the ammunition there is and armored vehicles, all with the taxpayers money to protect them against the, wait for it ...............taxpayer!
just another phony problem the regime’s agencies will use to scam dollars that will be diverted back those politicians who support the regime and of course the Chicago mob bosses will get their cut.
Chris is a true believer in catastrophic human-caused "climate disruption" (is that what they're calling it these days?). Mooney is not a scientist, rather he graduated from Yale with a B.A. in English in 1999. So while he may be qualified to write fiction, his opinions on "science" are ungrounded in any factual basis, and he has a marked tendency to write unhinged gloom-and-doom articles.
Or if you’re in Boulder, CO, a HEMP attack!
My thoughts exactly. Why do we have 38 federal agencies? And that is only a microscopic percentage of the real leviathan.
Lol
