Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) on Tuesday slammed a new FEMA rule that could force states to recognize climate change in order to receive disaster preparedness funds.

"This preparation saves lives," Jindal said in a statement to the Washington Times. "The White House should not use it for political leverage to force acquiescence to their left-wing ideology."

FEMA recently updated its standards for the Hazard Mitigation Assistance grants to require that states address how climate change may impact their states.

"The risk assessment must provide a summary of the probability of future hazard events," the new guidelines state. "Probability must include considerations of changing future conditions, including the effects of long-term changes in weather patterns and climate."

1. Crawl back under your rock, Bobby..

and STFU already! Sorry, I'm so sick of this idiot!

[ChairmanAgnostic]

2. wait, FEMA is intended to prevent or lessen damage in times of emergency

and proper preparation entails cooperation with the local yokels like Jindahl.

What part of 1+1 does he not understand?

3. The arithmetic part......

4. Ever heard of "put your money where your mouth is," Bobby?

This is that lesson for you.

Next, the federal government should let all the "get the government off my back" states should get back no more in federal tax dollars than they pay in.

[MANative]

5. I never thought I'd see the day when science would be referred to as...

"left-wing ideology." But there it is. These clowns are too stupid to live, and they're making sure that most of the population is even more stupid than they are with the massive cuts to education funding and the push toward eliminating public education entirely. If we don't regain control of Congress, it's only a matter of time.

6. Hey Jindal! Quit using the Governors office to promote stupidity!

7. Well,

If he wants to be unprepared, fine. Just don't call for help when the next one comes ashore.....

8. What a maroon.

Now science is "left-wing ideology"

Without judging the data on it's merits, they reject it simply because we accept it. They don't care if people die, it's just a matter of time before Jesus comes, so who cares?

9. Climate change is not Ideology

It's like saying the sun and the moon and the tides are all just someone's ideology. He is an idiot.

[tishaLA]

11. ....

[Marrah_G]

12. Yup- they must have had the same 5th grade science teacher

[Android3.14]

10. Because, you know, math and Jesus

It's all based on ideology.

13. Is Jindal the "best" the GOP can find in

Louisiana? Wow!
