Obama’s new climate council to regulate economy
President
Barack Obama has given the nation a new “Council on Climate
Preparedness and Resilience” that expands government bureaucrats’ role
in how Americans use their lands, energy, waters and property.
Obama announced the executive order Friday, the day after Halloween.
The order is titled “Preparing the United States for the Impacts of Climate Change.”
The
new order was issued even though recent scientific data have
contradicted claims that use of carbon energy — such as gasoline — will
drive up the world’s temperature and induce damaging climate change.
Average temperatures have leveled for more than a decade, despite the
sharply rising use of carbon energy in China and other countries.
The
council is officially intended “to prepare the Nation for the impacts
of climate change by undertaking actions to enhance climate preparedness
and resilience.”
The order bypasses Congress, and is directly implemented by Obama’s deputies and appointees in the federal bureaucracies.
It
allows agencies to use the promise of environmental disaster to force
changes on Americans’ use of energy and land, and to increase taxpayer
spending on expanding the fledgling renewable energy sector.
