Sheesh! Global warming is causing mental illness, cancer and now food poisoning. We're doomed.

[jazusamo]

Ping!

[sionnsar]

We've seen that already: Algore, East Anglia and Penn State, among others.

[Dr. Sheldon Cooper]

For $60 million, I’ll prove unicorns are eating our crops and trampling our forests. And the proof will pass peer review.

We have seven huge USDA Research facilities located thruout the country. Each is based on it's regional attributes. They have been doing great research since the late 1940's. Their work on crop adaptation and selective breeding is famous. Their research on uses of plant products for oils, fiber, and such are also famous.

How redundant do we have to be?

I guess the SEIU and AFSCME have gone into the garden center business. By the time they are finished, corn will be $70 per seed kernel. Every accomplished PHD researcher who works for the USDA research centers will be retired with a watch. Then the famine begins............

[jazusamo]

Agreed, spending this money like this is like flushing it down a toilet.

[TSgt]

And folks wonder why I get livid when people say, “raise taxes on the rich.”

Bill Gates shouldn’t have to pay more taxes until this kind of crap is cut out.

Meanwhile they are looking a raising healthcare costs on veterans.

Makes me so mad I could spit!

The Climate Change Industry is very lucrative.

Thanx for the ping jazusamo !

 

Beam me to Planet Gore !

the U.S. government is dishing out $60 million to study the effects of climate change on crops and forests.

Shouldn't they first determine that, if there actually is "climate change", that it is man made and that increasing taxes, charging more for now food AND energy or reducing supply will actually fix it?

The truth is, the $60 million is just a democrat money transfer. They know perfectly well there is no man made "climate change".

[EQAndyBuzz]

What exactly does southern pine taste like?

[calex59]

I can save them money. Give me $30 billion and I will tell them that IF the planet does warm up it will mean MORE food being grown at latitudes not available to be used for farming now. Warming the planet would have no downsides, unless the planet warmed up to the average temp of Death Valley. We would have more rain and more area to grow crops.

Ok, now where is my $30 billion. I would even be willing to donate a Billion to FR.

[traditional1]

Which FREINDS of the Progressives are getting the taxpayers’ money now? This WHOLE thing is a scam, aimed at fleecing taxpayers (and then Consumers, too) via the phony alarmist State Run Media propoganda-fueled hoax.

[jazusamo]

It’s milliom but I’d bet FR would be happy with that and you’d get a ton of thanks. ;-)

[calex59]

Oops, $30 billion should be $30 million. See, I work cheap.

[Emperor Palpatine]

Here’s another one for the chainsaw, Blubber Bear!

[Floyd Rivers]

I’m considering applying for a grant to study erosion in the Grand Canyon and its effects on the Western prairie dog population.

Agreed, spending this money like this is like flushing it down a toilet.

A low flush toilet............

And yet we are burning food for fuel. Driving up corn prices, that raises food prices. That is what started the Middle East up rising that caused our gas prices to spike.

We are the stupidest nation on Earth that has ever existed.
