Climate Cult Says Federal Law Requires States To Plan For Climate Doom

I actually cannot find Doing Something about Hotcoldwetdry as a power of the Legislative Branch in the Constitution, hence, that would make it a 10th Amendment thing, but, you know, the climate cult is all about federalized authoritarianism

The Law Requires States to Plan for Climate Impacts

Currently, dangerous heat is baking much of the eastern United States, with heat indices in some areas forecasted to exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Unfortunately, climate-driven disasters are becoming more frequent and severe across the nation. Floods and droughts are increasing, hurricanes are intensifying, and extreme heat waves, like the one happening now, are becoming commonplace.

All complete BS, and, notice, they blame flood and drought.

NRDC and the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law released a new report reaffirming that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has a legal duty to require consideration of climate change in state hazard mitigation plans. Under the Stafford Act—a federal law that governs disaster preparedness and recovery efforts—states must prepare these plans to be eligible to receive federal hazard mitigation funding. The act sets out requirements for the contents of the plans, which include analysis of all natural hazards that can affect the state.

Planning for these disasters can mean the difference between life and death. By anticipating emergencies, states and local communities can significantly reduce risks to health, minimize property and economic losses, and lessen the psychological trauma of an unexpected crisis. Comprehensive hazard mitigation planning is a proactive approach for reducing risk.

States do plan for certain things depending on what kinds of weather they get. If you leftist states want to do this, have at it. You’re just wasting time and money.

Yet, in the spring of 2025, FEMA, under the second Trump administration, removed all mentions of climate from the state mitigation planning policy guide. The state planning guide contains current information on FEMA’s policy priorities when awarding hazard mitigation assistance and includes detailed technical guidance on what to include in state plans. Past versions of the guide have recognized that consideration of climate change is a critical component of state hazard mitigation plans to adequately “identify the natural hazards, risks, and vulnerabilities of areas in the State,” as required by the Stafford Act.

The 2025 guide merely states, “The risk assessment must provide an overview of the probability of future hazard events, including types, location, range of anticipated intensities, frequency, and/or duration of each natural hazard.” The former references to climate change–related increases in probability were removed.

The cult is unhappy that the Trump admin is requiring realistic plans, not ones based on cult dogma.
