President-elect Donald Trump said he’s looking to cut back federal global warming programs, which he claims are hurting U.S. competitiveness.
He’s got a lot of work ahead of him: Federal agencies plan to spend $27 billion on global warming-related programs next year.
The White House reported to House Republicans that 18 federal agencies combined spent about $22 billion on global warming activities in 2013, but defined global warming much more narrowly than the agencies themselves.
Federal agencies want to spend $12 billion on global warming programs in 2017, according to Salon, but the left-wing news site only factored in six of 18 agencies with such programs. The government plans to spend closer to $27 billion on global warming.
The Department of Energy planned to spend $8.5 billion next year on global warming-related research on energy efficiency, basic science and energy research.

How about every nickle?
$27 billion could be better spent elsewhere, like the VA for example.
Every inner city gets brand new schools
Yes, ALL of it works for me.
Wonder how much is spent/lost due to idiotic regulations and industry/local attempts to comply with government nonsense...
Reallocate the $27 billion to something other than liberal income redistribution.
That would kick off the economy.
27 billion!!!. Do you think Jefferson and Adams are rolling over in their graves?????.
Cut Every Damn Penny!
Worst case,,,warm weather is nicer!
All of it!
As an engineer with 30+ years of professional software development experience, the idea of relying on software models as “proof” of the science is insanity.
Show me the scientific determinism and natural experimental proofs of these theories, not crappy software models and I will buy into the science. Until then, it is all just religious dogma!
Not to mention that the Earth itself is an open system, so it’s unlikely that you can do much more than express correlations instead of causations in the large.
That $27B in funding probably has more to do with the APGW conclusions than any real science underlying it.
And telling me that I can’t challenge it is fundamentally UNSCIENTIFIC!! Science is about never ending challenges to the status quo. There’s your “tell” that it isn’t real science, imho.
Just think of all the money we piss away on “foreign aid.” Money goes out...and the US gets nothing in return.
All of the things the liberals say we must do or else...cost tons of money. It is all about the money with them. If tons of money are thrown here and there for this sort of thing a lot of that money can be siphoned off along the way into pockets of those promoting this nonsense. Their supporters are too ignorant to know why these things are a big deal and they play right into the money laundering- which is what most of it amounts to. With the crazies at the top- they are really not so crazy when you remember it is always about money flowing into their own accounts.
The go green scam subsidies must end.
From the Pilgrims dying on the way over, all the way up to yesterdays American's deaths in far off places that won't see Christmas this year.
$27 billion? What an obscene waste of money. Cut all of it.
Cut it all except to Israel.
27 billion a year....thats over 100 billion in 4 years. Word.
That would pay for the southern barrier, and immigration personnel.
Plus they embed billions into the defense budget.
$327 Billion should be plenty to repatriate all the Moslem invaders Obama’s brought in, for starters
one big nice humanitarian comfortable trip home
