Bad news for climate change boondogglers

ANALYSIS/OPINION:
Predicting tomorrow’s weather is often a crapshoot. Predicting the weather on a day a century from now is obviously throwing money away. Shoveling cash into schemes for regulating climate patterns generations far in the future is an investment in a fool’s gold mine. President Trump vows that Americans won’t be fooled again.
His proposed budget for fiscal 2018 “America First” eliminates State Department appropriations that would have gone to the United Nations Green Climate Fund, a favorite charity of Barack Obama’s administration. He says his environmental leadership marked “the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal,” and pledged $3 billion to the fund, and made good on the first billion. The Trump budget further deletes the State Department’s annual $6.4 million allocation to U.N. climate change schemes. Mick Mulvaney, the director of Management and Budget, says “we consider that to be a waste of money.”
