Massachusetts Asks Washington For Global Warming Disaster Relief -- March 24, 2015

The AP is reporting:
Massachusetts will seek a federal disaster declaration for the record-setting snowstorms that wreaked havoc on the state and piled up what state officials estimate to be $400 million in snow removal costs and other damage.
Governor Baker planned to send a letter to President Barack Obama by the end of the week asking for the disaster declaration for 10 counties, an area encompassing about 250 cities and towns. The letter would be submitted to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, with the final decision on the request to be made by the president. [This is a no-brainer.]
In what the administration acknowledges is an unusual request, the state is asking the federal government to treat the several weeks of storms that began in late January as a single disaster, compounded by frigid temperatures that prevented any immediate melting.
Global warmists predicted much more precipitation. That was this year. Last year they predicted less precipitation. Whatever. The discussion is closed.
