Obama to Announce $1 Billion
'Climate Resilience Fund'
by Wynton Hall 14 Feb 2014, 7:21 AM PDT
On Friday, President Barack Obama
is expected to announce his intention to create a "Climate Resilience
Fund" that will cost taxpayers $1 billion.
"Weather practically everywhere is
being caused by climate change," said
Assistant to the President for Science and Technology John
Holdren.
Last month, Holdren explained that the U.S. is cold
because the planet is hot.
"If you've been hearing that extreme cold
spells, like the one that we're having in the United States now, disprove global
warming, don't believe it," said Holdren.
The new government program would be in
addition to Obama's global warming initiative announced last June.
In comments to Politico, Matt Lehrich,
White House spokesman, said President Barack Obama “is going to continue to
make the case that climate change is already hurting Americans around the
country and that it will only get worse for our children and grandchildren if
we leave it for future generations to deal with.”
Obama is expected to announce his new
global warming program in California
today, as 49 out of 50 states experience snow and record-smashing cold
temperatures.
