We are definitely on a cooling trend now and what do they do? Double down.
It is called “scam for jobs”.
This is the same imbecile that signed the time sheets of this guy:
EPA official, who pretended to work for CIA, sentenced to 32 months
By Ann E. Marimow and and Lenny Bernstein, Published: December 18 E-mail the writer
A former high-level official at the Environmental Protection Agency, who pretended to work for the CIA to avoid the office, said he was motivated by a sense of excitement and the rush of getting away with something.
John C. Beale, a former EPA senior policy advisor, explained his motivations for the first time in a federal courtroom Wednesday before he was sentenced to more than 2 ½ years in prison for stealing nearly $900,000 in taxpayer funds.
U.S. District Judge Ellen S. Huvelle said Beale’s deception had “made a mockery of working for the federal government.”
Beale, 65, admitted in September that he had skipped out on work for years by telling a series of supervisors, including top officials in EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation, that he was doing top-secret work for the CIA. He was paid for a total of 2 ½ years of work he did not perform since early 2000 and received about $500,000 in bonuses he did not deserve, according to his plea agreement.
Assistant U.S. Attorney James E. Smith said Beale ripped off the government in “notorious, historic fashion” and had become the poster child for problems with the federal government workforce.
He lied about contracting malaria to obtain a reserved parking space that cost the EPA $8,000 over three years. He took trips to visit his family in Los Angeles for which he charged the government more than $57,000.
“His actions are a stain on the work of tens of thousands of honest federal workers,” said Smith.
Standing at the courtroom lectern in a gray pin-striped suit, a remorseful Beale said he had “abused and betrayed” the trust he earned during his long career at EPA “by exploiting flaws in the management system” at the agency.
Beale’s case has attracted political attention, in part because his scheme went on during a period in which he worked for EPA administrator Gina McCarthy, while she led the Air and Radiation office. McCarthy started that job in 2009 and told investigators she began to suspect Beale in March 2012, according to the agency’s inspector general’s office.
If NASA can spend money and effort away from real endeavors to make Muslims feel better about themselves, I guess it’s okay for the EPA to take time away from the environment to create ‘jawbs’, isn’t it?. :o)
GFY, EPA
It will create government jobs, which is a drain on the economy, not a benefit.
No they don’t and they know it.
We look to climate change as a way to continue to scam the American people and hose the American tax payer.
And then ask them when that temperature was ever achieved.
And then ask them for the ideal level of CO2 in the atmosphere and when that was ever achieved.
This evil half witted b**** believes her own lies. The jobs she will destroy are men's jobs such as coal industry. Many women in useless bullshit functionary government roles have zero conscience when destroying men's jobs. This is their war on men. Usually white men of lower socio-economic status than them
The Truth Translation: “We look at the myth of ‘climate change’ as an opportunity to grow government and exert power over every business in America.”
“The shift to a cleaner energy economy won’t happen overnight, and it will require tough choices along the way,” Obama said. “But the debate is settled. Climate change is a fact. And when our children’s children look us in the eye and ask if we did all we could to leave them a safer, more stable world, with new sources of energy, I want us to be able to say ‘yes, we did’.” …
This from the putz who takes a 747 to the golf course.
Hey 0 bummer, if clean energy was economical, the private sector would have already spent millions and developed an affordable solar power system for homes and business.
There is a home in our area that has a solar power array next to the house. It takes up half the lot and is the ugliest thing in our city. How it passed the zoning board is beyond me.
And, with every Government Motors car, a high quality, union made buggy whip.
Environmentalists are watermelon Marxists: green on the outside and red on the inside.
Global Warming. A dangerous man made concoction of Marxist ideology and junk science.

That boy is an idiot. The climate has been changing since the planet was formed, and will continue to change until the day it's a lifeless rock. He and his ilk are grasping for straws, looking for excuses to push a stupid agenda.
This from the woman who signed off on her worker at the EPA that told her he also worked for the CIA. She is an idiot.
The government jobs that the Marxist EPA grows parasitizes the free market causing the loss of economically productive private sector jobs.
