Watts Up With That has some ideas for budget cutting in the next administration. Or, actually, these ideas come from Salon (!) via WUWT (never mind that cutting isn’t what Salon meant).
- Energy Department
2017 climate-related budget: $8.5 billion
- Interior Department
2017 climate-related budget: $1.1 billion
- State Department
2017 climate-related budget: $984 million
- NASA
2017 climate-related budget: $1.9 billion
- Environmental Protection Agency
2017 climate-related budget: $1.1 billion
- National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
2017 climate-related research and development: $190 million
That works out to $13.8 billion of “useless waste.” Yes, indeedy.
While we’re about it, let’s cut the “green” subsidies, too. Every single one of them. The fossil fuel (coal, oil, and gas) enterprises don’t need the $3-$5 billion (depending on who gets asked) in subsidies they get, either. That’s yet more budget cutting.19+, although fossil fuels get much less than the “green” money being tossed down rat holes.
