Obama creates climate hubs

New executive action on Global Warming: Obama creates “climate hubs.” As we shiver through one of the coldest winters in history, it’s good to know the president has priorities.

    • Ah jeeze, now I find you. Brought up the Tulip Bulb Crash in a prewebz convo and all I got was ayfs stares. One guy turned out to be a potential client years later (we didn't get it) and one was pretty cute (later that night she said no to a date).

      • You mean there is/are/were actually people who are unaware of that little bit of history? Even in the prewebz days?

        Hell, to the best of my knowledge that was the first stock bubble crash.

        And, if I am not mistaken (although without further research, as it has been over 30 years since I read of it: In an actually book with binding and everything) it was also the first time it forced the market to put some kind of regulations in place.

        • There's another famous one that I recently read about, involving the Battle of Waterloo. I can't remember the commodities involved, but somebody had messengers waiting for the outcome of the battle and they raced across the Channel to get the news to London before anybody else knew and they made a bloody fortune trading on their advance knowledge of Napoleon's defeat. The fortune was made even bigger by the fact that many of England's Dutch allies turned and ran as soon as the battle started, fleeing back to the coast, so the first news to hit London, brought by refugees, was that Wellington had suffered a horrible defeat.

      • Two years ago, the Bohai Gulf and Yellow Sea were 60% frozen. I am trying to find how frozen they are this year.

        Edit: funny I'm not finding anything....

  • Better get ready for the water control scheme aspect of this, such as if you want to water your crops, from your own well, you're going to have to pay the local "climate hub administrator" for the privilege. Otherwise your water goes to the Agra-business that did grease their palms.

  • It says there will be a "sub-hub" in Davis, CA. Will that office be in charge of opening the water spigot that Democrats in D.C. closed, transforming California's Central Valley from a huge food producer into a dust bowl?

    • Well, of course when you have hubs you will need sub-hubs. And logically, when you have sub-hubs you will need ancillary hubs and when you have ancillary hubs you will need deputy ancillary hubs and when...

  • The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: ''I'm from the government and I'm here to help." Ronald Regan
    Obama has proven, beyond a shadow of doubt, those words to be true.

  • The best way for the communists in DC to win is to unrelentlingly unleash program after program thereby overwhelming the system as it is designed to work. Obamacare will never be fixed because these people are off to the next program. Social Security is a failure, no problem. The administration is going to force us into MyRAs. Post office is going broke? No sweat, Senator Warren is proposing the postal service replace payday lenders (which undoubtedly will be regulated out of existence to make room for a federal union work force to make those same loans) by acting as a bank.

    • I agree this is part of the grand plan of destruction, to overwhelm the system with BS like this. but it is also a way to funnel more federal dollars to his commie green friends.

  • According to Ag. Sec. Vilsack, US farmers face a "new...threat of changing and shifting climate." I wonder if he could explain when it was that farmers did not have to deal with a changing climate - the last Ice Age, maybe?

    • Seriouosly/ Talk to an older person who lived through the dust bowl, when ACRES of topsoil blew into the Atlantic from the Midwestern states, Texas and parts of New Mexico. They'll tell you about climate change!

  • WTF, doesn't the Dept. of Agriculture Extension Service already cover that kind of thing, the County Agents and all that?
