Still think global warming alarmism isn’t political? According to a new report, FEMA plans to stop giving Federal preparedness aid to states who have governors who don’t completely buy into the administration’s global warming narrative. In other words, they are bribing states with taxpayer money to agree with them.

Quote:The Federal Emergency Management Agency is making it tougher for governors to deny man-made climate change. Starting next year, the agency will approve disaster-preparedness funds only for states whose governors approve hazard-mitigation plans that address climate change.

This may put several Republican governors who maintain that the Earth isn’t warming due to human activities, or prefer to take no action, in a political bind. Their position may block their states’ access to hundreds of millions of dollars in FEMA funds. In the last five years, the agency has awarded an average $1 billion a year in grants to states and territories for taking steps to mitigate the effects of disasters.

"If a state has a climate denier governor that doesn’t want to accept a plan, that would risk mitigation work not getting done because of politics," said Becky Hammer, an attorney with the Natural Resources Defense Council’s water program. "The governor would be increasing the risk to citizens in that state" because of his climate beliefs.

The policy doesn’t affect federal money for relief after a hurricane, flood, or other disaster. Specifically, beginning in March 2016, states seeking preparedness money will have to assess how climate change threatens their communities. Governors will have to sign off on hazard-mitigation plans. While some states, including New York, have already started incorporating climate risks in their plans, most haven’t because FEMA’s 2008 guidelines didn’t require it.

If this doesn’t outrage you — even if you are a sold-out believer in all things climate change — ask yourself why. The Federal government is holding states hostage because of politics. This is not only unconscionable, it’s unconstitutional.

This comes direct from the petulant child that occupies the Oval Office.

Crap like this wouldn't have happened under Romney.

Americans are paying for a severe lapse in judgment.

I can't see how this would be Constitutional.

This can't be real

'This is a nice state you've got hear, be a shame if something happened to it...'

If it is true it is nothing short of extortion.
It would never stand up in court.
We are all entitled to equal treatment under the law.
There is nothing equal about covering some states and not others solely based on the attitude/opinion of its governor.

This needs to be brought out into the open. Run Ads featuring Al Gore and His Ranting, Hillary Screaming "What difference does it make" after a Natural flood from Snow melting and Obama in some sleezey Chicago bar backroom making a deal with the Global Warming Mafia.
