Corbett Administration Ignoring Pennsylvania’s Climate Change Law | StateImpact Pennsylvania
They are concerned that the Governor lacks faith in the climate models.
Christina Simeone chairs the state Department of Environmental Protection’s Climate Change Advisory Committee and works for the environmental organization PennFuture.
“There’s real questions about whether the Corbett administration believes that human-induced climate change exists,” she said.
Wicked times we live in – when elected officials lack faith in the official government religion.
Oh No, we are back to “no snow”……Oh, there’s an 18 member committee to advise the governor.
“The character of Pennsylvania is going to change,” he said. “If we go along a business-as-usual trajectory, we’ll have a summer climate like Georgia by the end of the century. We’re talking no snow on the ground.”
If Pennsylvania doesn’t want to end up like Detroit then they should cut spending. A great place to start would be to dismiss the silly DEP Climate Change Advisory Committee. Let them pay the costs for their own religious evangelism. The car manufacturers and all ancillary industries have gone, the steel plants have gone, the coal mines are going, the power stations are going. I’m wondering what industry the USA will have left to employ people. Casinos and burgers?!
It’s quite sad.
What is refreshing is Corbett et al having the common sense and the fortitude to not make politically correct and foolish choices.
Interesting that you talk of their religious evangelism. In this telegraph article Lord Nigel Lawson says “The greens are the new Reds… The two appeal to the same constituencies, those who have lost their religion and are looking for a new meaning of life. The environmental cause is not a matter of reason but of belief.” So, that explains a lot of their behavior.
He is not leading his people down the road Detroit did.
There’s nothing like Heresy among the demented.
I’m proud to live in Pa and have Corbett as my Governor.
Wow. 80 years of burning coal and population growth and Pa is back to the same temps they have in the 1930/40’s.
Pennsylvania temperatures have risen since the 1970’s and are now back to the levels they were in the 1930’s and 1940’s. Go here http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cag/ and plug in temperature, Pennsylvania, June, 12 months, 1930-2013. Click Plot and you get a graph that reveals nothing extraordinary when comparing the annual temps of the past 20 years with those of the 1930’s and 1940’s. 80 years of economic and population growth and No Appreciable increase in Pennsylvania temperatures compared to 80 years ago. What’s all the Fuss about??? Thanks Corbett, ignore these science quacks, we want jobs and economic growth in Pennsylvania.
Reblogged this on The Firewall.
I, too, am proud to live in PA and have Corbett as my Governor. Now if the rest of the PA Senate quacks would get on board with him and support his common sense economic, energy proposals, there would be hope. Privatizing the liquor stores would be a good start!
Considering that climate alarmism is resembling a religion, separation of state and church needs to be more stridently enforced.
So the governor lacks ‘faith’ in the climate models. Faith/hope is based on er, um, wishful thinking. Factual data, logic, reason, and common sense seem more appropriate for determining the fate of a state, or the country methinks.
