White House Announces 7 Regional Climate Hubs

WASHINGTON — On the heels of the Senate’s passage of a long-awaited farm bill, the Obama administration announced the creation of seven regional “climate hubs” on Wednesday to help farmers and rural communities respond to the risks of climate change, including drought, invasive pests, fires and floods.

White House officials described the move as one of several executive actions that President Obama will take on climate change without action from Congress.

In substance, the creation of the climate hubs is a limited step, but it is part of a broader campaign by the administration to advance climate policy wherever possible with executive authority. The action is also part of a push to build political support for the administration’s more divisive moves on climate change — in particular, the Environmental Protection Agency’s regulations on coal-fired power plants.

The hubs will be in Ames, Iowa; Durham, N.H.; Raleigh, N.C.; Fort Collins, Colo.; El Reno, Okla.; Corvallis, Ore.; and Las Cruces, N.M. The hubs will be set up at existing federal facilities and will not receive extra financing. . .

Obama is setting up this scam via "executive authority."

[SpaceBar]

Partitioning the US into executive administrative areas so the EPA can rule them by fiat.

[newheart]

To be followed shortly by the annual hunger games.

God, you can see what’s coming a mile away.

First thing HUBS [HEAVY UNADULTERATED BUM SLAMMER] should do is get rid of invasive pests in the WH.

SpaceBar:" Partitioning the US into executive administrative areas so the EPA can rule them by fiat."

EXACTLY TRUE !

and to dispurse the pseudo-science of this Administration , so that , next time ,
he can say "I didn't know " again , and again , and...

> drought, invasive pests, fires and floods

Uh, these things have ALWAYS been with us, and have NOTHING AT ALL TO DO with the fantasy construct of “climate change”.

Just another power grab masquerading as the government coming to “help” us.

[icwhatudo]

The next conservative president should set up “Pro-life” hubs by executive order to help women who are considering abortion to choose life instead.The standard is set, as long as no “additional funding” is used the president can do it.

[Triple]

These hubs must be explicitly defunded by congress.

[lurk]

Your money. Well spent.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Another boondoggle to be closed when sanity returns to DC.

[Tilted Irish Kilt]

And ,.. expect to hear more about "Sustainability" and other buzz-words and fables from the Agenda 21 crowd.
These "hubs " are an attempt to further decentralize accountability and responsibility .

[rlmorel]

Damn him. Damn him to Hell.

[Rainier1789]

Beware. The Administration may determine that you are a waste of oxygen.

[savagesusie]

Yes-—this Marxist takeover is as plain as the nose on our face.

Has been for a very long time for some of us.

[rlmorel]

Yeah. They probably have already determined that. You post on FR? YOU are a waste of oxygen.

I am sick and tired of it.
