You know the deep state is in a state of panic over the arrival of Donald Trump. The deep state at the EPA is digging in and they\u2019re refusing to implement any of the new EPA policies that the new director and Trump want to implement. It\u2019s the same thing at the Department of Labor. Apparently at the Department of Labor the Obama embeds over there are practically insane and have mounted a resistance campaign within the Department of Labor to oppose anything coming down the pike. It\u2019s eventually gonna blow up on \u2019em, but I mean they\u2019re just still in a state of panic and denial.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-222136\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/631973600.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/631973600.jpg 594w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/631973600-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>Now back to the EPA. Try this headline. This is from the Washington Examiner: &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/pruitt-ends-epa-gym-memberships\/article\/2620217\" target=\"_blank\">Pruitt Ends EPA Gym Memberships<\/a> &#8212; Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt said Thursday that the days of gym memberships being paid for by the American taxpayer are over. Pruitt was on Fox &amp; Friends, where he was asked about documents released Wednesday that show EPA employees spent more than $15,000 on gym memberships outside of the free services they were already being given.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I guess they have the EPA gym, the workout area, but some of them wanted to go bigger than that, and so they did, and they charged it off to the American taxpayer. And this guy says those days are over. You\u2019re already provided gym membership and service here at the EPA, and you\u2019re not gonna go out and get supplemental and have it paid for. And they\u2019re livid and outraged in the deep state at the EPA.<\/p>\n<p>You want to know how sick and perverted they\u2019re making our college students? This is from Heat Street: &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/heatst.com\/culture-wars\/college-students-are-taking-short-cold-showers-to-prevent-climate-change\" target=\"_blank\">College Students Are Taking Short, Cold Showers to Prevent Climate Change <\/a>&#8212; An offshoot of Indiana University\u2019s student government is urging students to take short, cold showers to save the planet. &#8216;Living sustainably is one of the easiest things you can do,\u2019 the head of the student association\u2019s newly founded sustainability department told the student newspaper. &#8216;Turn off your lights, unplug your electric devices, take shorter, cold showers. Maybe some people are deterred by that, but as time progresses these issues are going to become much more pressing and much more internationally important.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>These kids don\u2019t realize that this stuff has been going on for decades. How many times over the course of our lives have we been told &#8212; look what they did to the toilet from six gallons to 1.5, just have to flush it three or four times, depending on who you are, and then you have all of these recommendations, don\u2019t take long showers, take cold, there\u2019s nothing new here. And while some fanatics have already implemented stupid things like this, shorter cold-water showers, the complaints of climate change have not abated.<\/p>\n<p>All the electric cars people are driving, it\u2019s not changing anything. Climate change is becoming worse. When are these kids gonna learn that no matter how much of the advice is given that they follow and take, it isn\u2019t gonna change anything? It isn\u2019t gonna save the planet, because hot showers are not destroying the planet, hot water is not destroying the planet.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-227324 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/RushGLobalWarming3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/RushGLobalWarming3.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/RushGLobalWarming3-300x128.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/>But that\u2019s beyond the point. The point is that for 30 or 40 years people have already begun to behave in these ways and drive these so-called clean energy cars. And all during that period of time, the global warming activists continue to tell us that climate change is getting worse. In other words, none of the efforts that anybody have made to reduce carbon footprints is ever given any credit. Nothing anybody has done or is doing is ever credited as helping.<\/p>\n<p>At some point, after 30 years of following all these silly guidelines, you would expect there to be a noticeable reduction in the warming of the planet. Well, there has been that. Does it strike you strange that the global warming crowd, with all of these mandates and all these behavioral tips, doesn\u2019t want to take credit for it? They don\u2019t want to take credit for the fact the planet hasn\u2019t warmed in 15 years? They\u2019re looking for excuses to explain it, rather than take credit for it. If they were smart they\u2019d be taking credit for the temperature not having increased and then saying, &#8220;See? We need to do more of what we have been suggesting.&#8221; Thank God they\u2019re not that smart.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You know, I don\u2019t know about the earth\u2019s environment, whether it\u2019s sustainable or not, but I\u2019ll tell you what is sustainable, and that\u2019s stupidity. We\u2019re doing the greatest job of sustaining stupidity in this country. It\u2019s as though we\u2019re trying to. &#8220;I\u2019m not gonna take any more hot showers because I\u2019m trying to save the planet.&#8221; You kids, when you move back home with your parents when you graduate college, keep using the cold water. Your parents will be happy that you\u2019re saving them some money. But that\u2019s about all you\u2019ll be doing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: At some point, after 30 years of following all these silly guidelines, you would expect there to be a noticeable reduction in the warming of the planet. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
