FEMA Strips Mention of ‘Climate Change’ From Its 2018-2022 Strategic Plan

The insanity out of this White House will just not stop. 

The Trump regime has deleted all references to climate change for FEMA’s strategic plan for 2018-2022. This obviously follows the record shattering weather and climate change disasters we witnessed during 2017. Bloomberg notes that the document does mention those disasters, but the scientific findings of other government agencies that disasters such as these will only worsen as the “concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere increases.”

The Federal Emergency Management Agency, responsible for dealing with the effects of disasters like hurricanes and floods, has stripped the words “climate change” from the document meant to guide its actions over the next four years.

FEMA on Thursday released its strategic plan for 2018-2022. It replaces a version issued under former President Barack Obama that repeatedly cited the challenges caused by a changing climate, and the need for FEMA to incorporate those risks into its long-term plans.

By contrast, the new document doesn’t mention climate, global warming, sea-level rise, extreme weather, or any other terminology associated with scientific predictions of rising surface temperatures and their effects.

Brock Long, whom President Donald Trump appointed to run FEMA last year, has equivocated on whether climate change is real and man-made. “The term climate change has become such a political hot button that, I think, I keeps us from having a real dialogue,” he told Bloomberg in an interview last summer.
