See, we’re doomed from fossil fuels, so, Kamala took a fossil fueled flight and fossil fueled convoy to announce money for Doom
The White House is making more than $1 billion available to states to address flooding and extreme heat exacerbated by climate change.
Vice President Kamala Harris announced the grant program Monday at Florida International University in Miami with Deanne Criswell, the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and other officials.
Harris called climate change an “immediate” and “urgent” crisis as she detailed Biden administration efforts to respond to disasters such as deadly flooding in Kentucky and wildfires ravaging her home state of California.
“And here’s how it will work,” Harris said. “So local governments apply for these grants. They tell us which projects will be most impacted and together we build those projects.”
The competitive grants will help communities across the nation prepare for and respond to climate-related disasters.
Harris says the U.S. government is already partnering with groups in Miami-Dade on $50 million to protect low-lying neighborhoods from flooding caused by sea rise and hurricane storm surges.
You know what sea rise looks like in Miami?
Virginia Key is right to the south of Miami. The Holocene sea rise average is 6-8 inches per century, hence, the sea rise in Miami for a Holocene warm period is right about normal, or a bit below normal. It’s expected. It’s what should be happening, no need to assign anthropogenic causation. Regardless, it’s not a bad idea to implement some measures to protect against hurricane storm surge. Of course, the money seems to involve private groups, so, you know it won’t be used the way it’s supposed to be used, and a way to give taxpayer money to Democratic Party friendly groups to do things that help get Democrats elected. Because this is 100% about Science!
Of course, Kamala was on top of her game, delving into the silliness and word salad we’re used to, such as
