Dem Sen. Tom Harkin Blames Iowa Flooding On “Climate Change”…
Never let a crisis go to waste.
Comments & pings are closed.6/27/11: Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA) tells reporters that the Missouri River flood was caused by climate change, which the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers needs to take into account.





If Harkin got a pimple on his ass it would be because of globull warming, or Bush, or Palin, or Bachmann, or… Its called weather “Chicken Little”.
Shuckey darn, I thought he was dead!!!
Sen. Harkin, please feel free to add your name to the growing list of retiring “D’s” who are running away rather than face the music. Globaloney ain’t goin’ anywhere.
What a numb skull. He is an embarrassment to the people of Iowa.
Im so sick of these loons. STFU Tom.
harkin is a deadbeat parasite who invested in algore’s carbon trading scheme and will say anything to line his pockets with money
Has anyone mentioned how the corp of engineers did not lower several dams. For over 50 years dams built have been lowered over the winter to allow for snow melt in the spring. One in particular. The Oahe north of Pierre South Dakota was full all winter. This dam was built to prevent flooding. Why was this dam not lowered during the winter? WHY?
Was this a created crisis????????????
The corp is blaming the spring rains.
BUT WHY WAS IT NOT LOWERED IN THE WINTER AS IT HAS BEEN FOR 50 YEARS?
I’m surprised he didn’t add, “And those red state teabaggers deserved it!”
Maybe if you’d change those Depends more often, there’d be less flooding.
Too bad he hasn’t been swept away in a flood.
Another one who failed 9th grade science.
The answer to why the bridge was not lowered this year, in unison please, ” man made globull warming”. Neither the 6000º degree temperature of the earth’s core,
or the similar temperature of the sun are in anyway involved.
Anybody that promotes that shit should be thrown into Leavenworth its such an obvious scam. Scratch the surface of this shit deep enough and your sure to find a typical Democratic Party RICO violation. Prosecute Larkin and all the rest of them. Then lock their asses up and throw away the key. A few months in a concrete cell with no air conditioning would be appropriate. After all, they shouldn’t be shooting those flurocarbons in the air.
Another wacked out wacko trying to blame all our weather on this climate change poppycock what else will this blabbering little dweeb say to get the attention from those annoying wacktards from GREENPEACE
Right on MH. I read some place that the corp did not drawn down because of the environmentalist complained about it effecting some fish habitat. Freakin environmentalist are running this country—-right into the sewer.
Ann Barnhardt is on top of this story and she post the following link:

The flooding is intentional and Obama is culpable.
Lame Cherry was almost a week ahead of Ann, starting here:
Obama instigated the Missouri Flooding

LC continued to examine the topic, letting Mark Levin have it big time for making excuses due to “environmentalists” for Zero/the Corps. Among other things, LC pointed out that “environmentalists” are marxists, just like Zero.
S#*t-head Harken was beaming and clapping like a fool for Dr. Dean
the night he melted down in the speech that doomed his candidacy.
Why would anyone care WHAT idiocy he opines?…he’s a poster-boy
for term limits.
Yeah, just like my farts caused that awful smell around here a few minutes ago…oh, wait, probably a bad analogy there. Anyway, if Harkin makes it that long, maybe in a few years when we ALL notice that average global temperatures haven’t increased, he’ll come up with something new to try to cash in on.
Just Larkin and Spotted Al have much in common. Neither could pass an eighth grade science test and both will leave a carbon footprint the size of Texas. Both are duplicitous, greedy bastards who enjoy their kingly lifestyles. And both are carefully presented by the media minions as princes of integrity and self-sacrifice.
A friend of mine in WY sent me some pictures from a few days ago, of the N. Fork of the Shoshone River near flood stage. This small stream originates in Yellowstone Park and is a usually a minor tributary of the Missouri River drainage. He also sent pictures of the Absaroka Range, covered with more snow than he’s seen in 40 years, and it hasn’t begun to melt.
All of my friends up there have complained of a colder, snowier winter followed by a colder, wetter spring . They all knew this was coming – where was the Corpse of Engineers? This is going to be an unmitigated disaster, many Minots in our future.
We need to start paralyzing the EPA with lawsuits, like they’ve done with the Forest Service, Oil exploration, BLM, and the Corpse.
These alarmists are getting soooo boring. We see thru the hype and don’t see any valid science. Put up or shut up.
Dude has been sniffing too much jet fuel exhaust from all those federally funded trips he gets, all out of OUR pockets…..
Come down here, old man; the climate NEVER changes.
The “corpse” doesnt seem to know its ass from a hole in the ground.
How many times have they fkd with Lake Lanier in Jawja causing water shortages?

Exactly. Thier focus of management has changed, and they won’t admit their actions, or inactions actually. They’ve also caused massive silting of reservoirs by this season’s poor management. So from here on out, flood control will be less effective, unless dredging is done, and provided they actually practice flood control in the first place
.
And now I read that the corp is offering to buy up flooded farmlands. Also trying to increase his agri-empire, I’ve read, is soros, the spawn of satan guy.
As for harkin- I guess he must have graduated high school in Md.
It is climate change- its called the change of the seasons. Flood management is based on monitoring and responding to seasonal changes.
Vote that idiot out Maybe he can go live with gore in one of his numerous mega-mansions.
If i claim that Leprechauns cause rain storms, does the occurrence of a rain storm prove that Leprechauns exist?
If only all of the sky-is-falling liberals would stop exhaling, the threat of global warming would go away. Then the newer liberals could blame the upcoming ice age on them.
I blame it on “communist change”; the inability of dem/communists to believe in science, the thought processes of believing the hot air of their lying tongues causes change.
From which assilum did this nut escape from anyway?
