Global Warming and Energy

39 dead from Sandy. 8.2 million without power. Obama declares "major disaster". What's a major disaster? This is no super-storm. It was a class one hurricane.

Another fraud blames Hurricane Sandy on climate change. The only thing unprecedented about this storm is how unprepared governments were to deal with it. The decivilizing effect of government made the storm's damage worse than it should have been.

A who's who list of people claiming Sandy was caused by global warming and those claiming it was not.

Some goof-ball claims the hurricane was an economic boost. Another.

The New York Times declares a big storm requires big government. Right. If we just allowed government to steal all of our money, we'd be so much better off.

How government made the problems caused by the storm worse.

Obama's green jobs program is a failure.

"President Obama’s green jobs training program, which was part of his stimulus, has failed on most key jobs measures, according to a new internal audit that found it was training workers who already had jobs that didn’t need green energy skills, and was failing to place new enrollees in jobs once they finished the training.

The Labor Department’s inspector general also said grantees who received the green jobs-training money did a poor job of reporting their results.Only 38 percent of those who have completed training got jobs based on it, and only 16 percent kept jobs for at least six months — the key measure of success for the program. …

Of those workers who already had energy-sector jobs, the auditors said they were retrained, even though they didn’t need it."

That sounds about normal for government.
