Here's an interesting item for those who have been duped by the green machine and climate hysteria: The Big Green Fire Machine is Hungry.

Last week Dan Berman noted that the Forest Service is in line to receive over a Billion Dollars a year from sale of carbon credits . . .

The bill could mean $1.1 billion per year for Forest Service and Interior Department firefighting costs between 2012 and 2050, relieving the annual strain on agency budgets. . . Some argue that this will spell relief for budget taps the Big Green Fire Machine, or the Fire-Military-Industrial-Complex as Wildfire called it, has on agency budgets. But in another way "free money" will add more incentives for extant fire fighting procedures to become even more entrenched, therefore resistant to change.

Every issue that gets politicized is twisted to serve the agenda of politicians and their bankers. The rhetoric may be about the common good but the reality is something else again.

We know this. Why are we surprised when in the fullness of time every initiative leads to a polluted muddle of graft and degradation?
