States across the country have budget surpluses, including federal coronavirus stimulus payments, and many governors are using the money for projects to fight so-called climate change.
The excess cash is also from tax collection and post-lockdown consumer spending, and governors of both red and blue states are directing funds to improve protection from extreme weather, which Democrats and the press blame on human activity and fossil fuels.
The Associated Press reported on the development:
States turn to budgets to fight climate change
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Their state budgets flush with cash, Democratic and Republican governors alike want to spend some of the windfall on projects aimed at slowing climate change and guarding
Democrat New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham has asked the state legislature to fund the creation of a “climate change bureau,” with a 15-member staff and an initial $2.5 million.
But these budgets don’t reflect the importance fossil fuels continue to play in particularly western states’ economies, including in New Mexico “where the output of oil and natural gas has surged to an all-time high under Lujan Grisham’s administration,” AP reported. “At least one-fourth of the state’s general fund budget can be traced to income from the oil and natural gas industries underwriting public education, health care and other services.”
Commentary:
'Fighting Climate Change' is Progressive Marxist Socialist/DSA Democrat speak for paying back their biggest donors.
The former President of the Czech Republic, Dr. Vaclav Klaus, described it best, when he said, "Climate alarmism as a budding totalitarian ideology that is the greatest threat to freedom, democracy, and prosperity in the world today".
Meanwhile each of these environmental nut cases like Gore, Kerry and DiCaprio to mention a few, fly private jets around dumping as much CO2 as commercial flights. If they tell you this is about climate? It's not. It's about the Benjamins and profits, because it isn't me and you.
Cause we're paying for all of it.
