Federal Emergency Management Agency
U.S. Department of Homeland Security
500 C Street SW, Washington, D.C. 20472
(202) 646-2500


So than, the right department is looking into what kind of planing should take place regarding the effects of global warming.

Ahh, so you've bought into the crap pseudoscience as well.  Good for you


Of course, why wouldn't they?

FEMA?  Yea, why wouldn't they?  The "dept" in question that brought this issue up was a NEW dept/taskforce

Ah huh, global warming is "pseudoscience" like evolution is "pseudoscience".

You're just like the muslim terrorists, scared shitless of change, living in the dark ages, afraid of your own shadow.

Yes, it was.  The taskforce didn't exist before, ergo NEW

The terms dept and taskforce are not interchangeable.

Sorry for your confusion

So which is it? a New Dept or a New Taskforce?

And while we are at it, would you clarify what you mean by NEW?

"Janet Napolitano: DHS Creating New Task Force to Battle Climate Change"


And while we are at it, would you clarify what you mean by NEW?

As in, didn't exist prior

Not to belabor the point, when you say new, does that mean that a taskforce to devise contingencies to battle climate change did not exist prior to Napalitano's announcement?

That's why the "dept" was put in "...".  If I meant it to be an actual dept there would have been no quotes.  It was a rhetorical new "dept".  Again, my apologies for your confusion

According to Napalitano, that'd be correct, as it relates to DHS

Would it surprise you to learn that a federal taskforce dealing with climate change contingencies has been in existence since 1989?

Might surprise Janet.  Me?, no, since we're talking about the Federal Government, and their egregious inefficiency when it comes to our tax dollars.  Why wouldn't their be a duplication of services?

This isn't a duplication of services.

What janet did was announce that DHS would be in compliance with the recommendations of the climate change and adaptation task force.

Not like she had a choice. Obama did an executive order in 2009 ordering dept heads to do so.

Don't you hate it when the press doesn't give you the whole story?
