The answer is climate change—at least if the question is “why should we keep a costly and ineffective government agency.” The Obama Administration’s recent repurposing of a heretofore moribund government agency as a tool to soften the impact of climate change—a move heralded in a recent Washington Post article—is more than just a political master stroke: It represents the logical progression of strategy for climate change warriors who won’t let congressional inaction stop them in their quest to save the earth.
The Denali Commission’s corrupt inception, ineffective existence, spastic death throes and eventual salvation at the hands of the president is more than just a metaphor for government run amuck: It also happens to perfectly encapsulate what the fight over global warming has morphed into—an all-encompassing excuse for the expansion of government.
