World environment programs in US budget crosshairs

WASHINGTON - What do flood prevention in Nepal, wildlife preservation in Namibia and reef fishing in Indonesia have to do with the US budget?

Global conservation programs like these have all gotten help from the US government, and they are probably prime targets of the budget-cutting congressional “super committee,” since they sit at the crossroads of two things Americans don’t like spending much money on: foreign aid and the environment.

Most Americans don’t know much about how US foreign aid dollars are spent, and don’t think highly of foreign aid in general, according to Karlyn Bowman, an expert on public opinion polling at the American Enterprise Institute.

“Not only would they rather spend the money here at home, but they also don’t think the money is spent well abroad.” Bowman said in a telephone interview. “They certainly want to be involved in humanitarian efforts ... but things beyond that aren’t a very high priority at this time.”

Comments On The New Paper “Separating Signal And Noise In Atmospheric Temperature Changes: The Importance Of Timescale” By Santer Et Al 2011 | Climate Science: Roger Pielke Sr.

My Summary: If I were a referee of the Santer et al paper, I certainly would have recommended to the Editor that the Christy et al 2010 paper would have been included and used as part of their analysis. I would also suggested that their cavaets regarding their findings be elevated in visibility. However, unlike the claim made by Wolfgang Wagner and others (e.g. see), I would have recommended it be published.

["How much will I get?"] It clearly shows that the government is promoting the carbon tax in terms of economics and wealth distribution. You could not find a better illustration of the iron law of climate policy.
